You might not have seen the news last week….
But Slimming World have been taking a beating once again!
To cut a LONG story short, they have changed the way they work things a little.
They have upped the syn value for certain foods.
Honestly, my first thoughts when I seen the news?
GREAT
Maybe, just maybe, it’s improving?
You see, I’m not a huge fan of Slimming world (or weight watchers for that matter)…
I remember, years ago when I first started my career in heath and fitness,
I worked in the local leisure centre and straight opposite, in the function room….
Slimming world used to meet up every Wednesday.
Curious about Nutrition at the time, I went over to have a word with the ‘Rep’ before she started,
to ask a bit more about it and how it worked?
Red days, green days, syns?
How does it work?
To which she replied, I don’t know!
^^^Alarms bells rang for me a little and that’s what prompted me to push my career in nutrition.
(To find out more in order to help my clients.)
Anyhoo, social media has be very entertaining this week.
Lot’s of PT’s and Nutrition coaches having a pop at them.
You know what though,
It REALLY doesn’t bother me
Like I have said a million times before….
ALL diets work.
What works for one might not work for another….
You have to find something that you can stick with it.
I know loads of people who have had great results with Slimming world, which is great.
For me, the main things you need to concern yourself about when it comes to nutrition?
(no matter which ‘diet’ you decide to follow) are these…..
– Trying to eliminate or reduce as much processed and artificial foods as possible in your diet.
– Add as many whole foods (fruit and vegetables)
– Try and stick to as close to nature as possible.
– Eat plenty lean, good quality sources of protein
– Keep your sugar intake as low as you can
– Drink plenty water
– Cut back on the treats (that’s what get;s you in the mes in the first place)
And EXERCISE
^^^ Do all of the above and you’ll be burning fat in no time!
If you need a hand though…
A little SUPPORT, motivation and the best camaraderie around?
