Thread: thinking of a change .....

hi all I've previously done swell before I lost quite a bit weight of it and managed to maintain for a year or so. I then gained weight and 're started so many times and failed. I've lost 1 stone of doing weight watchers but find I'm gettin lazy with it. sw is healthy but I just couldn't get my 1/3 supefree In. does anyone have any tips and has anything changed? thanks x

They're loosened the 1/3 Superfree recommendation in the 2013 pack ie have it if you can but not compulsory - but then I find if I don't have the 1/3 Superfree I don't lose.

I'm the same as jezzi, I really need the SF. my main tips would be 1) hide it in food. So if you're making chilli, stew, spag Bol etc, cut up some celery, carrots, peppers and onions into little cubes and cook with the meat - trust me, I used to despise veg but you just cannot taste it like this (and I HATE celery!) 2) a bit of balsamic vinegar makes everything taste better and 3) fruit is SF and there must be fruit you love? Good luck! X

well without it it cannot teach portion control and then that's over eating. I did "hide" my food but I still couldn't crack it.... I dont think I had enough. I'm in 2 minds really.....?!? x

Another thing I do sometimes is make veg soup and have a small bowl of it before my dinner. Then it's easy Superfree and really helps portion control as you're already part full before eating

that's a good idea...

another thing I always found it expensive....abyss ideas or tips on that?

Hmmm I havent really had that problem - our spending hasn't gone up.

We buy bags of frozen veg at Farmfoods, and also frozen pork loins, frozen gammon and frozen salmon steaks there (3 bags for £10).

Berries I buy frozen in the supermarkets.

Mullerlights seem to be on offer everywhere all the time. Most of the cupboard staples I buy cheapy - budget brand tinned tomatoes, oats, beans, fresh potatoes, peppers, onions etc.

Rice I buy Indian brand large sacks of.

Meat I buy cheaper cuts eg diced turkey, chicken legs instead of breast, whole chickens, also buy a lot of reduced meat short dated and freeze it.

ohhhh that's really good tips that. I used to do green days and I could spend less than 15 for a week but got very bored! I think I will give it another blast. I'll join a group get my book s and maybe go from there x

I'm still surprised they have done this but suppose it's to make it easier for people to follow but I think it really makes a difference to losses

as in less or more?

I think it helps lose more but that's just my opinion x

They didnt loosen things about superfree - the sw always said superfree was recommended not mandatory :-)

Sorry my misunderstanding - lots of people's consultants described it as a change so I assumed the official position had changed. I don't actually go to group so just take others word for it
