Slimming World being over pushy

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #21

There was a post I read yesterday, about someone’s father, who didn’t want to eat better, he just wanted to take a pill. What I love about keto is how easy it is to eat better, and I don’t have to take a pill! :bacon::bacon:

I have always needed a “crutch” to keep my weight in line. In my 20s and early 30s that was nicotine. Then after I quit tobacco, it was phen-fen back when that prescription drug combo was available. Both worked. Both had other negative side effects. My other crutch (which was actually worthwhile) was regular exercise, but that alone was never enough without the artificial aids.

To me, that’s the real magic of this way of eating. I get the same feeling of “I don’t need to eat right now” and “I’m full after just eating this reasonable amount of food” that I used to get from phen-fen, but all I am doing is eating fresh foods from the grocery store, and being mindful about my eating habits and triggers.

I read that as I don’t want to eat butter I want to take a pill. They have a butter pill?

That would be a butter pill to swallow. :smiley:

  1. Let butter get hard in fridge.
  2. Take butter out and use a teaspoon to make balls of butter.
  3. Eat.
  4. Enjoy!

I must admit that even though I add butter to the pan I just cooked bacon and sausage in after poring most of the grease out I have been thinking about making little butter cubes and adding them to my scrambled eggs. And that is after stirring in heavy whipping cream.

TBF, that was an anecdote from 40 years ago :slight_smile:

But yes, it’s clearly still relevant.

Yeah, 1st time I did SW I stuck to “green days” so as much pasta / rice as you could eat, all free, but I’d stuff myself silly then end up “tasting” a few more forkfulls pretty much every 30mins until went to bed, then have more as pre-breakfast.

I’ve always enjoyed cooking but do remember there being plenty of instant/tinned etc that was “free” and the last time I did SW they’d just started with their own line of ready meals.

Jeesh, I thought I had done every diet before LCHF. I never heard of SW until now. Thank goodness that’s one that shall remain unexplored by myself.
