God yes, I ate far more on SW than I would normally. I stayed the same a few times, and was told it was because I hadn't used my syns. Its so warped.
Same! I was eating pasta and sw ‘chips’ at every meal! Was so bloated! Saying that I had friends that did it when it was Red and Green days and they lost over 5st each and have kept the weight off for over 10years. Both did green days.

I did SW once and once only. I didn’t have a lot to lose but I got down to about 9 stone 8 and the next week I put on 1lb and the lady said to me ‘oh dear you’ve put on 1lb’ and looked at me like it was a stone I’d put on...duck off love!
Also what happened to the 2 lesbians (can’t remember the names maybe Amanda and someone) that had a child or children with problems can’t remember what was wrong with them, think one of the women had something wrong as well? They used to make ‘takeaways’ all the time and their portions were enough to feed a family of 20

‘Fakeaways’

I went from a size 18 to a 10 on slimming world about 6 years ago, I love it helped me cook fresh meals but I gained weight and back upto a 14 as I’d go over my “syns” and write the whole day off and binge...where as if I was watching my calories I’d probs not be over for the day but because I was over 15 syns id sabotage the whole day 🙄 messed with my mind set completely.

Think team RH called them out on facebook for their horrendous portion sizes (richie likes any chance to diss slimming world) so Claire and Amanda haven't posted since 2019 I think.

And this is why Slimming World is a dangerous crock of tit and I’d never ever go back to it. Completely within calories but afraid to eat anything else all night. Mad.

Grateful it helped me at the start but not sustainable for me personally! I’m now eating better having more salad and veg on my plate limit my carbs because who can eat unlimted
Pasta, rice and potatoes and loose weight 🙄 but I will allow a treat and not feel guilty, and stop at one because I’m in control ! X

the unlimited (white carbs pasta, potatoes and rice is crazy) no wonder the slimming world door is revolving door as folk gl back and back because you can eat all that free when in reality it’s very bad to class those foods and free a a lot of folk don’t put the veg/salad in fort they fill the plate with pasta then Chuck veg on top. My plate is 1/2 veg 1/4 protein 1/4 carbs on a normal sized plate I have seen folk with massive plates like dustbin lids lol

The fact that their own spaghetti carbonara at 550 calories is "syn free" and the tesco low calorie carbonara at 325 calories is 6 syns should show you what a load of rubbish it is. It's all about making money.

I've noticed people saying that the instagrammers "aren't following the plan properly". Well, a lot of them are. A 3rd of your plate must be speed food. Apparently this will stop you eating too many calorie dense foods. All they do is buy a bigger plate🤣

I can't deal with her posts. She addresses what she calls the "Karen's" that query her portions by saying that she's lost weight eating like this. What she fails to mention is that the 3st 10lb she's lost according to her bio is what she had lost by August last year. Sorry, but if I'd stayed the same weight for 8 months on a weight loss plan then i'd be changing something! She's obviously eating her maintainance calories now.

I did notice that there were no weigh in posts! I'm not suggesting everyone has to publicly weigh in but it does seem verrryy coincidental that the ones who pile their plates high/make massive platters/cover their oats in Malteser bunnies and chocolate stars are the ones who don't!

Exactly. Absolute no-one has to make their weight public knowledge! It just annoys me that they try to make people think they are actually losing weight eating this way. Then newbies to the plan wonder why they are having similar food/portions and not losing.

I get what you mean, but the baked oats people don't annoy me as much🙈 A lot of people do lose weight and eat baked oats with chocolate because they are in a caloric deficit.

Jesus, I’ve never seen her page before. I assumed all the meals were all ‘sharing platters’ but most are one portion, bloody hell 🤣

This hurt my eyes

yeah I get that, I think for me it's the idea that breakfast has to be a treat somehow. I mean, have treats within your calories, but at breakfast? If I had massive chocolatey breakfasts I know I'd be on a slippery slope to binging chocolate all day.

It's also partly due to the fact that their "tsp" is usually about half a jar of Nutella 🤣

Even though obviously being familiar with Slimming World I have had my weight problems, I am just not a fan of plates groaning with food. I would rather have a small portion of something indulgent and satisfying than crap loads of something that just won’t hit the spot. I don’t like feeling overly full either, especially during the day, I never have a big lunch cos it just stops me from achieving anything the rest of the day!

I once went on an all inclusive holiday with a friend and actually lost weight because every meal time I found it off putting how much food she was eating just for the sake of it, like she would have about 6 plates of food at breakfast including a whole plate of eggs cooked in different ways, eat everything on offer at dinner then have 3 desserts and would be constantly snacking all day and saying I wasn’t getting my money’s worth! I did in booze though 🤣
