Veggie red days

[demetzy]

Hi All

This is my first post sorry if there is already a topic on this. I have done slimming world before and lost over 3 stone on it in 2008 but I often get stuck at 9st10lb. I am quite short and would love to get a little smaller. I have now decided to rejoin online and just do red days mainly. I am planning to save my HE for the evening and wondered if anyone had any ideas for lunches?

I do not eat meat or fish but everything else.

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

So if you do red days but dont eat meat or fish what do you eat?

You can eat tofu and quorn. I have tried red days but don't like 'em, I find them really hard as I use a lot of beans and lentils in cooking. As a compromise I do the occasional low carb green day instead.

But you can eat quorn & tofu on green days, I just don't understand

That's why I don't bother doing red days! Some people like red days as it is lower carb by nature but you can do pretty much the same thing with a green day and be less restrictive

I'm looking to try SW after years of not doing it, and this was a major consideration for me, the whole red day, green day didn't work for me when I tried it before as I'm vegetarian and the person running the class couldn't really help. I get bored of quorn and tofu if eat it all the time. Good to see a vegetarian having success.

There's lots you can do on green days with beans, lentils, barley, etc it's just about being inventive. Getting bored is the killer, I have to constantly look up new ideas but it does work, promise! I only do green days, the red days are too hard as a veggie and EE is kinda pointless when you are a veggie too. Good luck! x

I don't understand why your doing red days if you don't eat meat or fish.
id stick to green instead or do EE if there are some meats you do ea xxx

Green days do work honestly. I understand porting carbs though.

Red days are mostly for meat and fish eaters so I dont understand why you would want to do only red days. Would green not suit you better being a vegetarian?

I have no idea why a veggie would do red days!!!!

I know a couple of veggies on here do. Red's not for me though, more than happy doing green and the weight is coming off. I think there's a perception that green is some kind of carb free-for-all whereas it really doesn't have to be like that if you don't want it to be. Green is so versatile and that's why I love it.

Thanks for the link to recipes I will have a look. I have been on/ off slimming world for years and I only ever done green days as a veggie but after my initial weight loss the last few years I never get lower than 9st10lb despite sticking to green days to the letter. I have a large tummy and small everywhere else (thats where all my weight goes) and have been recommended to reduce carbs (I only eat brown rice and pasta) so thought I would try red days and have quorn and tofu instead of meat but restrict my carbs a bit. I know green is better for veggie's but I wanted to change it up a bit.
