A continuation.
It’s not much effort at all, simply add what food you are eating to the cal counting app rather than logging/writing down your synsTLDR of the last thread.
People giving off about Slimming World apparently wrecking their relationship with food then writing paragraphs about how to to work out calories which sounds like ten times more effort than Slimming World.
Bollocks to that.
Having done all the plans including calorie counting lots of times, there is nothing about SW that wrecks a relationship with food. That’s entirely on the person doing it and whatever version they think they’re following.There is no 'apparently' about it. I think thats really insulting if Im honest and not at all nice when people have ended up with eating disorders.
I can disagree with the first part. I don’t even log my syns anymore, so that’s even less time.I've got to disagree with the "ten times more effort than slimming world" thing. I've lost 3 stone calorie counting, and it honestly takes me about three minutes a day to log my calories.
Not here to bash slimming world, pleased for anyone who has found the best way for them to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, whatever that might be. Just here for the SW instagrammers hacking the system with their baked oats piled high with biscoff and syn plates (since this thread is in the Instagrammers section after all!)
Completely agree. No part of the plan tells you to starve all day before weigh in, treat night after etc. I hate CC and find it time consuming and stressful. Been there, done them all and SW proved the best for me!Having done all the plans including calorie counting lots of times, there is nothing about SW that wrecks a relationship with food.

I calorie counted and always ended up starving as I always left myself with way too few calories at the end of the day having used my ‘freedom’ to make stupid choices. That wasn’t the fault of calorie counting though. That was mine alone.
If you think it was insulting, sorry, but that’s my experience. My disordered eating dated from well before my time using any diet. Hence me needing a diet in the first place.

That said, I’m 100% on board with the baked oats and biscoff hate. That’s why I’m here.
Wow. "Apparently" wanna minimise or invalidate anymore?TLDR of the last thread.

The fact that you said in your first post, that calorie counting *sounds like* effort, tells me you're bullshitting that you've actually done it. Also, you've done a great job minimising experiences, by saying "apparently" people have had issues. They have. They're real. As uncomfortable as that is.Having done all the plans including calorie counting lots of times, there is nothing about SW that wrecks a relationship with food.

I’m a biscoff lover lost all my weight and stayed at target and still continue to have biscoffI lost 6 stone on slimming world! I had my little boy and got really bad PND which resulted in me putting it all back on plus an extra stone. I've tried calorie counting and weight watchers since and I just cant do it! So I'm starting sw again tomorrow because it's the only diet that has worked for me. I actually follow the plan correctly though no biscoff for me!!
Yes! It's in the Instagramers section after all.Is this a place we can mention accounts? Yasmin Lauren sw / lifestyle, I think she has switched to calorie counting but was one of the big slimming world accounts. She seems to have dropped off the face of the earth for the last month. Anyone know where she’s gone or why?
I logged my food via MFP for months to track calories. It was a pain in the proverbial, especially for created meals from scratch and not following a recipe. That and the bloody portion sizes were always in oz and cups. If nutracheck is better (and apparently it is) fair play to it, but it still didn’t change my problems with food. The people giving off about it are talking about their experiences and how they followed the SW plan, not the plan itself.Wow. "Apparently" wanna minimise or invalidate anymore?

It’s nice, but it’s the new Nutella and I hate that it’s in everything. Nutella was definitely one of my triggers. I’d eat that straight from the jar.I'm sorry for the biscoff lovers but I really don't get the hype
I am originally from near Kidderminster which is not very far I now live close to Oxford now. I don’t have a dedicated Instagram account to my slimming journey. I mainly use Instagram for research into matters that clients talk about or to be generally nosey. Slimming anxieties and scam money making schemes.Looking for people to follow near me.... anyone from Coventry?
