Hi
I need help after my 1/2lb gain on my first week.
The 1/3rd superfree food is really puzzling me. I get it if you have meat and potatoes and vegetables - balancing your plate with 1/3rd vegetables really limits the amount of meat and potatoes you eat - there's only so much food you can have on a plate. So "eat as much meat as you like..." is really not true - because I might like to have a full plate of steak and potatoes - but according to the 1/3rd rule I can't, I'd have to cut down on steak and potatoes to make room for the 1/3rd vegetables. Have I got that right?
What if the meal doesnt really suit fruit/vegetables? Tonight I had 2 poached eggs, beans, SW chips and 3 rashers grilled bacon ... lovely meal and all free but because it didn't include 1/3rd superfree I won't lose weight on it?! It wouldn't have suited brocolli!!!
So if I just eat free foods all week I won't lose weight?
SW saying "You can eat unlimited amounts of pasta, potato, meat ..." etc. isn't really true, is it?
