Hi can any1 tell me if this will still work if I follow extra easy with very little fruit and veg as I am not a huge fan but will still try and and some to my meals but not always the third of my plate. Thanks in advance
Hiya, I know people will disagree with this but never mind...
I too dislike lots of fruit and veg I try to have it as much as I can but if I don't want it I'm not going to force myself cos I know I'll get bored of the plan. Some days all I'll have is a banana and mushrooms and that's it. I'll also add that I'm 7 weeks in and just 3.5 lbs away from my 2 stone award. So it's working for me. I know I need to eat healthier but I've got to do what suits me and if I'm losing then I must be doing something right! x
SW don't say you have to have 1/3 superfree it's a recommendation, but most most people see better losses when they do have 1/3 superfree.
Have you thought about having either red or green days. What veggies and fruit do you like? Have you thought about blitzing veg up & mixing in with say chill, spag bol etc.
I "hide" a lot of veg in meals. For example, when I make tomato sauce (which I use on its own for pasta, but also as a base for curry, chilli, spag bol, stews etc), I put onion, celery, green pepper, carrots, chilies, garlic and sometimes a courgette in the food processor and just blitz it to mush. Then I add tinned toms, passata, tomato puree and herbs. The end result is a lovely thick sauce with a lot of "depth", but I can't really taste the individual veg.
I never ate fruit of veg,until mid may when i started SW....i still dont like most,veg but as above hide it in stews or use frylight to fry mushrooms onions peppers and tomatoes which i have as a base for all my,meals with different herbs spices and meat,or fish
i am snacking on fresh fruit all the time now as seasonal soft fruits are so nice....but dont like frozen and will struggle soon as not a fan of apples pears oranges etc but i dont miss unhealthy snacks as i get the sugar hit i need from fruit these days....give it time your palate will reeducate itself amd undo all the damage you hav done with junk food over the years
you could try different veg or fruit youve never tried like salsfy, cassava, chow chow fruit, lychees..if you play around you might find something you really enjoy!
I miss fruit if i go a day without any now...never in a million years thought id ever say that as in 50 years never ate fruit.....was a choc a holic but can take it or leave it now...its a rare treat not 6 bars a day and a huge family bag every evening
I agree with you when I started slimming world I said I couldn't afford it until I added iPhone much money I was spending on takeawaysZ, chocolate and crisps it easily covered the cost of slimming world!
