Hello,
I'm new to this forum and I do have some questions.
That I need to lose weight is out of the question as my weight is starting to affect my health.
I'm from Germany and living since a few years in England. In Germany I did Weight Watchers very successfully, but I don't like the English WW Plan. I tried it twice, but wasn't successful, as the free foods were missing, I used to have at the German WW Plan.
So I started to search online for something, that might fit my requirements. I've been on Atkins once and even though the success was undeniably, I don't want to restrict myself from a part of food for a longer time. So no Diets that exclude something.
Important for me is, that it can be done as a part of cooking a normal meal, as I don't believe that everyone has to do a diet, if I'm doing one and I don't want to cook two meals.
I've come across Slimming World and I need some more information about it. The homepage gives nothing away and I've read here through the FAQ and the Thread for newbies and need some additional information.
Reading through green and read days and syn foods and free or superfree foods, it all confused me to some extend. It sounds to me like a food combining plan? Can someone tell my in an easy fashion, what are the restrictions of this method? I like the part of free foods and I don't have any problems to restrict other foods, as long as I can indulge in them from time to time - and if I have to sacrifice two meals to have a piece of cheesecake, I can live with that, but not with having no cheesecake at all.
I'm not after a full explanation, if I think, Slimming World can be a plan, that will fit my lifestyle, I'm happy to join one of the meetings, but just after an overview to make an educated decision.
Best regards,
Ginevra
