A little of what you fancy is good....deprivation is not the key on WW and that is why so many 'diets' fail because you are restricting so many foods that eventually, sooner or later, you binge on. And we all know that once you've binged yuo feel bad, when you feel bad you get off track and when your off track you pack it in and gain another 1/2 stone.
For the past 12 weeks (excluding Christmas, where I ate and drank as sensibly as I could) I have eaten well in the day, usually a ww bar, yoghurt or poached eggs on toast for brekkie, a sandwich with egg or cheese and salad for lunch with a packet of skips and a jelly pot, for tea a stir fry or similar and i ALWAYS have an evening treat...small choco bar, a vodka and diet coke, a ww cake....because I can. The days where I don't need it i don't have it, the days when i crave it I eat it.
This is by far the most lenient 'diet' i have ever tried and is the most succesful by far...in fact I have only ever managed to stick to a plan/diet for 3 weeks in the past. This includes: Slimming World, Lighter life, Cambridge, Dukan, Atkins (not easy as a veggie!), cabbage soup, slimming world, celebrity slim, cuppa soup diet, blood group diet, skinny *****, calorie - 1200...and the list goes on and on!!!
In conclusion to my bored Saturday night rantings
.....I believe WW is what YOU make it...no one else. Whatever works for you is the right thing...if you need or want to eat chocolate, then do. If you want that glass of wine...all good. If you fancy a banana smoothie...go for it. As long as you do it in moderation, try to move a bit more than usual and within points then you will loose weight!!! Night Night twinkles xxxxx
