I've been doing SW for a long time & I know there are no quick fixes, that's not what SW is about. But on the SW website it says that Speed & Superspeed foods speed up your weightloss, obviously keeping you fuller for longer & on less calories. I'd made the 12 SS Soup before & loved it so this past week I made the big batch & had it every night for dinner. In the day & had my usual meals, my HEX's, 10-15 syns & plenty of superfree snacks. I exercise regularly too. I've weighed in today & lost 1.5lb.
I know any loss is a good loss but two weeks ago I put on 8.5lb (!!!) in a week, I didn't eat awful, I just ate lots of small bits that all added up. I got straight back into SW thinking if I give 100% the next couple of weeks I'd lose well but last week I lost 1lb eating my usual SW foods & this week I've lost 1.5lb having the SS Soup everyday. I thought 8.5lb on in one week was absolutely crazy & thought it couldn't have been set in stone (i.e. if I hadn't eaten bad the night before WI I probably would have weighed a little less & people often say some gains are down to water, exercise etc. so sometimes making the gain unnatural, my clothes aren't much tighter) so I really thought getting back on plan 100% & trying hard with my SS Soup I'd have a couple of big losses.
I'm a VERY slow loser so I don't expect miracles & I'm realistic. I just thought by having a week eating more Speed foods plus the SS Soup I'd do better. I've completely stuck to plan everywhere else. Is it possible that although the SS Soup is good, by having it for dinner maybe I've missed out on my balanced evening meal & therefore it hasn't has as good an effect on me as possible?
Please don't think I'm complaining about a loss, I'm lucky if I lose a few lb's a month, but given that I gained 8.5lb in one week I just thought some of it would come off quicker if I really stuck to plan. Maybe I'm just confused...?
