Have you tried Asda, they usually do that kind of thing.

Fab thread!! I have been on Slimming World for 3 weeks now and due my 3rd weigh in tomorrow and already lost 9 1/2 lbs! I tried Weight Watchers and actually put 3lbs on first week and only lost 1 stone in 3 months - obviously not the one for me but SW definately is

Help Please….

Regarding the ee plan…
e.g Plate contains :chicken curry with spinach (no syns for oil) and rice…would this be ok for dinner on the ee plan. As I won’t be filling my plate with 1/3 superfree foods. As the spinch in the chicken curry qualifies as super free..? or do I need to still have 1/3 of plate with salad ect as spinach won’t count

Hope that makes sense…

Thanks in advance

It is advised to still have 1/3 of sf foods

 

[Jengen]

Just have plenty of super free foods with other meals through day or some fruit after it?? X

My SW Consultant said that fruit after didn't count - the 1/3 had to be on the plate with the rest of your meal....

If you wanted fruit it had to be in a mullerlight or something for breakfast, or a fruit salad for breakfast with something...

 

[PatchworkPuss]

Well that contradicts the responses people on here have had from SW HQ when they have asked that question. And if you look at the menus in the SW magazine they do sometimes have fruit for dessert instead of superfree with the meal.
