Don't tell them and they won't be able to comment! No-one but you needs to know.

How many of us thought the same thing when we first started SW lol? How could we possibly eat all this food and still lose weight?!
but really, why should anyone else get a say in what you do your body. Thank him for his input and then just carry on doing whatever is right for you. xx

Is it lunch yet?
It does sound ridiculous, doesn't it? But if we replace high calorie foods with low calorie, nutritious foods as well as our speed foods, how can we NOT lose weight? For me, it's about getting used to eating foods which are good for me - Without SW, I don't get anywhere near my 5 a day, but now it's easy as (low-calorie) pie

The plan is basically food combining when it comes down to it at least on the red and green plans. The basic rule of food combining is that proteins and carbs are digested at different rates. So when you eat them together you end up bloated and sluggish with no real weight loss. When you eat them separately (ie limited carbs on red and little meat on green) then the body optimises what it is given and you don't feel bloated etc and you lose weight.
I'm trying to figure out where EE comes into play in this and I think it has to do with the 1/3 superfree as that forces you to cut down on protein and carbs naturally that way. Not totally sure about this plan, but the other two follow food combining

No, it isn't; food combining diets do not allow high carb and high protein foods to be eaten together at all. SW just brings the ratio down.

It does work hun, trust me. When I first tried to join SW way back in 2011 my "then" boyfriend said exactly the same thing. He would go out of his way to encourage me to eat cakes and sweets. He had issues, serious issues lol When I had my first weigh in I lost 8 and half pounds. He didn't believe me and said that I had somehow changed the weight and got a new book (whatever) It was so hard fighting against him, in the end I quit after two weeks. It was really hard listening to him put me and the plan down.
Thankfully since then I have left him and restarted Slimming World 12 weeks ago to the day and in that time have lost 2 and half stone. I only wish I kept going when I first started. Don't let other peoples attitudes, beliefs change or deter you and your journey. No matter who they are! Do what's right for you. Good Luck xx

You've just got to ignore him and carry on with the plan and see how much weight you lose
you don't need to tell anyone at work, just say you fancied a change if they ask why you've got salad instead of a sandwhich x

I have been told it won't work, it doesn't teach portion control & I will binge on carbs all day every day. 5 stone less later, I couldn't care less what anyone says. It's worked for me and that's all i'm worried about. Let them feel like a smart arse, you will have the last laugh.
