Slimming world isn't about portion size that much is true, but if you're eating too many calories in your day then it doesn't matter if it's only free food or junk food, it's still too many calories and you.won't lose weight. It doesn't matter if we don't count calories, the body still does and it's the underlying basis of the sw plan.
Sw consultants do advise members to restrict their portion sizes if they are extreme- i have heard it many times in classes in the past (eg 10 muller lights a day as snacks is excessive), and it has been backed up by a district manager in class when somebody questioned it.
I am not saying it is the basis of sw at all, or pushed by sw as part of their plan. What I am saying though is that if your portions are gargantuan then it's not optimising food in the way sw intends and is something that should be considered if your weight loss stalls for no obvious reason.
yup, same 2 weeks..
I've "pigged out" all weekend eating all sorts of fruit and more alpen lites etc, and according to my scales this morning, I've lost 4lbs from what they said thursday before weigh in.. so I'm planning to eat more all week and see what the results are..
I'm thinking steamed or roast fish and SW chips for tea tonight..... need veg to go with.. any ideas or just fruit for afters?
I wouldn't say that the portion size of the dinner shown is particularly bigger than many pictured in the meal pics section by people of varying weights etc including myself and really don't think at this stage it would be a problem. 2lbs is a good loss even if not as good as previously. Losses do generally slow down slightly to what they are at first I thought.
that pic was from the week I lost 9lbs after a 6lb loss the week before.. and I probably didn't eat it all..
I had smaller portions last week and lost less...
It sounds like I am picking on you now. I dont mean to. :ashamed0005:
Your loss so far is amazing. Sometimes losses are smaller than we'd like. Hopefully its a body readjustment blip and you'll start getting the gains you want again asap.
awww now you're just being mean...!!! :cry:
