Hi, Looking for a bit of advice, reassurance really. I'm off to my first meeting next Tuesday but I am very, very skeptical as to how this is going to work for me.
I have in the past lost 8stone. I have maintained this for almost 5years with the exception of a stone which I gained last year due to having a couple of operations & being out of exercise for 9months so I'm wanting this stone & maybe a bit more back off.
I have a friend on SW EE and she has filled me in on it. Now, the foods I eat on a day to day basis are all the free foods that are allowed. The only real difference is I don't use lean turkey mince.
I make a lot of my own smoothies using fruit spinach & almond milk.
Meals are salads, lots of veggies, chicken etc. I rarely eat carbs and I do a fair amount of exercise. Atleast 4days a week. I don't ever touch processed foods (except the odd treat of some crisps/chocolate/wine but not too often)
Obviously, I'm struggling to see how the EE plan is going to work for me when it's all the foods I eat already plus I'll be adding carbs & chocolate if I want aslong as I syn it & yet I'll supposedly lose weight.
The way I am doing it at the minute isn't working very well so thought it would give it a try.
So really, just looking for some advice & reassurance as to how this will work for me. Has anybody found it doesn't work?
