Hi slim4son, welcome to this wonderful forum first of all. You will get ace support on here, I am on here all the time. And to be honest I personally think S W is the best plan. You can eat so many free foods and dont feel hungry EVER. If you do you can fill up on superfree foods, which are most veg and fruit, with a very few exceptions. Basically there are three plans, red (mostly protein) with a little carbs, then all your superfree foods, green(mostly carbs) with a little protein, then all your superfree foods, and extra easy, which basically you just fill up your plate with a third superfree foods every meal. You also have healthy extras like milk,bread,cheese,cereal etc. Also youre allowed syns everyday, up to 15 on average. You chose which plan you want to do for the day, and stick to it for that day. You can then chose which one you want for the next day. You dont have to stick to one only, you chose each day however you may feel.
Are you going to a group. If so, please try and stay for Image Therapy, you will get so much help and support there.
You will be given all the literature when you join after your joining meeting with your consultant. But I would say, you cant eat too much veg and fruit, fill up on that, drink plenty of water, and have a good cupboard of basics. The literature will explain it all in more detail. Good luck, hope this has helped you a bit. AND there is hardly any weighing, only youre Healthy Extras. Let us know how you go on, if you need any more help, just put a post on here.
