Please can you stop using terms like that please. It is incredibly offensive. You wouldn't say to someone with lung cancer a joke about cigarettes so please stop. Sugar doesn't cause diabetes. There is a whole thread about this. Not just aimed at you, I have seen others post about this today.

Ok so not Being too technical here like , sugar can contribute to the cause of type 2 diabetes. you are more likely to get it if you are overweight. You gain weight when you take in more calories than your body needs, and sugary foods and drinks contain a lot of calories. So you can see if too much sugar is making you put on weight, then you are increasing your risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Hence why a lot of my patients once they’ve had bariatric surgery , also are no longer diabetic

In my work, I see a lot of overweight clients struggle to function in their day to day job being overweight and the ailments that are attached. It’s sad that companies see sexual and gender orientation more debilitating than a person with a weight problem and the associated mental and physical barriers that associate with it.

I always know I'm doing Slimming World properly when I'm having to go shopping every other day cos I can't keep up with all the veg I'm going through 😂 I don't really eat that much fruit tbh, love it but find if I eat loads it does slow down weight loss. All I've got in fruit wise at the moment are some red apples and honey dew melon which I think I burned more calories chopping up than I will take in from eating it :ROFLMAO:

This is from 2019 and they don’t post anymore but their page is still there... I got blocked for commenting on this post saying it was an absurd portion and just pure gluttony or something along those lines 🤣 a couple of days later they did a post/story about keyboard warriors 😂

I’m pretty sure what I get from the Chinese as a treat has less cals than that. And they were trying to say it was 3 syns 🤪 it’s eat until you feel satisfied hun, not eat enough to feed a small village. And that was leftovers too imagine what the original portion was if they had finished it in one go, #slimmingworld all the way 😡

Been following this thread with interest. I used to do slimming world and lost a sizeable amount but then got pregnant and piled it all back on last year with the stress of being a first time mum in a pandemic. Agree with others here who say the plan isn’t bad and these Instagram accounts are misrepresenting the plan. I have thought about going back to a group when they’re allowed but I’d probably have to take my kid with me and don’t really want to expose her to diet culture this young. Currently going the calorie counting route too.
Definitely!! Also, alot of the big accounts 'celebrate' maintaining their target with their huge portions yet they are also walking 20k steps a day! That tells me they would be gaining if it wasn't for the excessive exercise and maybe should think about their portion sizes.

Anyone seen these on Instagram...?! They post stuff like this and claim it’s slimming world. Really annoys me!! Also they deliberately do “sharer” meals or have food for 2 on the same board to give the illusion of even more food. Really pisses me off!
I've noticed alot of people do that with the kebab dish! Looks like loads but shared between a couple of people probably isn't that much. Yet will claim the 'huge' portions.

I've already done 11,000 steps today as I've been out for a 10K run, makes it 35km in total this week, it's my weigh day tomorrow and depressingly I'll be surprised if I've lost half a pound 😂 it's the lack of activity when I'm not exercising cos of lockdown, I'd be so much further on with my weight loss if I was out and about as normal. But yeah I really don't get how they maintain on those portions even doing all that, I'd gain weight! Tbf though everyone's different and loads of carbs just don't agree with me. Slimming World I think needs to be more informative about portion sizes, even if you make recipes on their app e.g. a pasta bake it's often 100g dried pasta per portion which with everything else is a lot of food! I tried WW once and starved the first couple of weeks but my appetite did adjust to the smaller portions. I think eating off a smaller plate is good too cos it tricks your brain into thinking your portion is bigger than it is.

Definitely that! Lack of activity makes a difference, big up to your 10k this morning!! 💪💪definitely agree that more needs to be done to educate on portion sizes are key rather than just ramming loads of pasta on a plate with a huge portion of chips, bread AND a salad. I can't run to save my life 😂 but walking works well for me if I want to eat more and slowly lose. If I wanted a big loss then I wouldn't be following the Insta Hun's ways of eating.

Thank you 😊 the Insta huns way of eating has seriously ducked with my head about the plan 😂 when I was eating my bowl of pasta last night I was thinking it’s only 2 syns but deep down I know I should be doing better really if I want to speed things up. Sometimes though you do just need carbs!

Tbf she crossed a line by putting up a poll getting her followers to vote yes/no to each person. If it was a male who did it there would be uproar! And no matter how much she says she could take it, you can guarantee she would be the first one to cry bully or troll if a man had done the same to her.
