Ok so I'm a little late, it's technically not Wednesday anymore oops! Anyway this week was the the week I decided to start losing weight again, so I decided to go back to Slimming World (which helped me lose four stone in the past) to help me shift some more weight.
Slimming World, to me, is the best weight loss programme as it has the simple premise of eat what you want in moderation and you will lose weight! Of course on the first weight of any diet, oh sorry! "lifestyle" plan you're going to be a little bit sceptical to if it actually works, but it does! For example, this week I had brownies, burgers and bacon and I still had a weight loss of 3.5lbs.
Quick summary of how Slimming World works:
Slimming World’s weight loss plan encourages you to swap high-fat foods for low-fat foods that are naturally filling. You choose your food from a list of low-fat foods they call "Free Foods"', such as fruit, vegetables, pasta, potatoes, rice, lean meat, fish and eggs, which you can eat in unlimited amounts. There’s no calorie counting, no foods are banned and you’re still allowed the occasional treat. You can get support from fellow slimmers at weekly group meetings and follow an exercise plan to become gradually more active. The plan is designed to help you lose about 1lb to 2lb a week. No foods are banned so meals offer balance and variety and are family-friendly. The portion size from each food group will vary depending which plan you follow. The "Body Magic" booklet they provide gives ideas to help you raise your activity levels. (NHS Online, 2014)
I never felt hungry at all this week, I would wake up have my cereal with banana, strawberries and yogurt then for lunch I would have bacon and beans, late I would have spaghetti bolognese then a hot chocolate for when I go to bed. Everyday I choose one nice thing that I want to have, brownies, and eat balanced healthy meals.
Exercise, urghh! I didn't really have any exercise this week except walking to places, but I am planning to have an exercise plan by next week.
Goal for next week: Lose 1lb and make an exercise plan.
Love, Kiera
