Slimming world and???

[Miss_Motivated]

Sorry if this post is not allowed, but i just wondered does anyone combine their slimming world with something else for example calorie counting?

I'm currently on a Forever Living Clean 9 Detox and when this is over i am thinking of using my fitness pal for calorie counting along side SW but just wondered what others do?

Thanks

In all honesty I think it's better to pick a plan and stick with it.

Slimmingnworld works so well because it isn't a quick fix, fad or detox diet but a healthy eating plan for life.

To mix them would only lead to confusion and mixed results in my opinion.

No need to combine. It works perfectly well on its own!

I'd say if you want to calorie count, why not just do a calorie count diet? What's the point of combining and making things more difficult?

All diets work, you just need to pick one and stick to it! That's the hard bit!

I am calorie counting as well as following the Extra Easy plan as it is helping me with portion control so I don't over-eat.
It also helps me think more about where my energy comes from.

I've successfully combined SW with 2/5 diets in the past when I've been stuck on a plateau

I agree that SW completely works without combining it with calorie counting, so there is no need really.

Like Ponytales I have occasionally done 2 fast days (consistent with the 5:2 diet) as a 'kick start' when I've plateaued for a while, but only once in a blue moon. I haven't felt the need to so far this year, SW is working on it's own

I've done both to help me with portion control!

I like Slimming World because I don't have to calorie count! Trying to do both sounds like hard work!

Although I do try and incorporate the principles of a low GI diet into the choices I make on Slimming World (e.g. wholemeal pasta over white pasta, brown rice over white rice etc.).
