Hi All
Sorry if this has been posted a million times before, I've tried to do a search but not come up with anything other than I must eat it.
I've been doing weight watchers on and off for years, and always done ok on it, but it doesn't seem to work for me any more (I'm menopausal) so I thought I'd give slimming world a go, and lost 5 pounds last week. It was week one, so I know that won't continue, but I was thrilled.
My problem is I eat very few vegetables that are on the super free list, and am allergic to most fresh fruit and can only eat tinned.
If I don't do the 1/3 plate thing will I still continue losing weight, or am I wasting my time? I'm getting very conflicting advice in class, so thought I'd ask here. If it's just a matter of taking up space on my plate I'm quite good at portion control and stopping when I'm full anyway. Also is it possibly a bit of 'blurb' to make the eating plan super healthy so they are able to market it?
I really am doing my best to include veg, but I'm nowhere near eating a third!
Is there anyone else like me who is still losing on EE? I only have 20 pounds to lose and am happy to do it slowly.
