Slimming World Explained - The Basics & Starter Pack Plus Aldi Haul

[@dinky..]

Hi! SW group member here! I think you explained things very well! The only thing I would add which can be extremely important to most peoples weightloss... It's true that you can eat free and speed food without weighing and with no limit but your appetite. There is a guideline SW offer for portioning. They reccomend everyone fills AT LEAST a third of their plate with speed food. And to reach for speed (before anything else) between meals. Some people can lose purely on free food but everyone will have better losses with 1/3 speed and 2/3 free food. It's called speed because it "speeds up your weightloss". I hope that's helpful to anyone reading this ❤

[@aligrinney3291]

What a gloriously simplified explanation, thank you Michelle! Yes, you have to do a slimming world blog! X

[@martinaredmond94]

I'm binge watching ur videos.. loving them Ty for sharing.. u have me focused and back on plan.. can't thank u enough.. keep them coming

[@user-xs9fp3ic9y]

[@julieandruz]

Thank you.... I feel inspired to start my journey to a healthier me too!!! I will keep checking in on your progress and tips xx

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

Aww that's amazing. How are you getting on?

[@hallyfella]

Great video well explained . The Slimming world books and meetings can be a little confusing when you first start but this video gets you up and running and with the shopping list it helps set up your first week of planning. Keep these video's coming they will definitely keep me on track. 😉

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you found it helpful and good luck with your journey :)

[@AZZPAC]

I am new to this too second week and I think I need a diary for food for the week and scan everything with my app as there are so many different brown breads out there for example I’ve got a lot to learn thanks for adding this video it’s fantastic.

[@teresanash-mcneil-hf1fo]

Ever so useful. I can’t afford to join slimming world so your site is wonderful for me

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

I'm really glad you've found it useful. I've filmed quite a few what I eat in a day videos and weekly meals so hopefully they help :)

[@geraldineangelamurray3001]

Its costly joining slimming World and £6 a week to get weighed

[@siobhangenders5342]

Day 1 for me on slimming world I'm trying it again x great video thankyou 😊

[@gracenurse9837]

thanks for that chelle it was all a bit confusing when i first looked at it , but much clearer now. i just now have to work out what to have each day

[@tftlred5454]

It all seemed a bit daunting but hey u have explained it all great !! ..ty so much , good luck on your journey hun , I will have to start to plan mine and get everything in place ready 👍💐terri x

[@amandairedale706]

Thank you. I shall give SW another go after a previous miserable start. Great Vid!

[@jennienicholls705]

loved how you explain everything even your food haul......Do you know if they do one of those books for a vegan as I can't find one anywhere :(

[@eveadams2042]

Hello Chelle, great video and haul. Would love to see you putting your lovely meal ideas together. X

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

Thank you, that's a good idea. I'll do a video like that soon x

[@gilliangough5637]

Hi. Only just found you today so have subscribed to your channel and following you on Indrsgram as well now! Loved your chat about Slimming World. Thanks so much. I totally get it now. First time I've understood it. Gong to buy the diary from Amazon. Do you have a KZbin video for healthy snack ideas? XX

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

Thank you so much :). I haven't done a snack video actually, but will look to do one soon xx

[@tracey3643]

Really good video. Thank you and good to know things have not changed over the years. May give this another go 😊

[@lesleysb3067]

Great video & explanation but I think the syns for the popcorn may be wrong - depending on the size of bag the sw app is saying between 4 and 4 1/2. Or maybe this bag is smaller - would love to think it is and I'll go and get some myself as I love popcorn. Such a great low syn treat xx

[@gemmawainwright1331]

[@kat_ie_9984]

Just like to point out that not all veg and fruit is speed food. Speed food is low density foods like lettuce, tomato, carrots, kale. You can't have avocado, peas, sweetcorn, banana etc as a speed food, these are included in your free foods and avocado is syns.

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

Yes of course, I was just generalising making a quick reference

[@gilliangilmour2065]

Some of the meal ideas look great i am going to be starting soon x

thank you, good luck 👍

[@kkaur7137]

How much did it cost?

[@juliehaines1792]

Hi. Would you mind telling me how you work the syn values out please? Xx

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

Hi Julie, I use either the book or if it's not in the book I search online and can generally find them that way x

[@jessicajames7534]

It generally works out at 20 kal is one syn so the pop corn would have been four and a half syns not two xx

[@annadoyle404]

Thank you, great video! I find it difficult with syns as I use them up too quickly early in the day. I get cravings at 9pm each night and then it all goes wrong! Thanks.

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

I find if I fill myself up more throughout the day with Carbs & protein etc I don't get as hungry :)

[@terricarter8820]

Just watched the video. Have done it before unsuccessfully in group. Going to do it at home instead.

[@pia9343]

Check out Dr Ekberg on youtube, he will explain why the cravings. You eat too often and the wrong foods. Also Dy Ann Parham has a phenomenal channel.

How do you work it all out if you don’t have a syn counter please

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

From following the principles of slimming world i know generally what is syn free and cooking from scratch helps too. Anything im nit sure on i check my book or search online

[@maxinecannon9991]

Thank you I'm in Australia and loss why in England, we have so much packages of food I spent two hrs in my supermarket with my syn count,and has taken me a week just to write out my shopping list and some of your receipes for a week lol thank you .I can't buy jaffa biscuits because I ate the lot yesterday .Thank you so much love following your utube cooking .

How much a week do you spend? Finding SlimmingWorld expensive x

I’m single and i spend around £25 a week on SlimmingWorld without shopping around to much. When I was married we were spending a little more, maybe £30ish

[@yasmindavidson5171]

I think I'm getting confused with the healthy extras. It says one healthy extra a and one healthy extra b. ? But if your having an extra easy day I healthy a, and 2 b's?.x

Hi, you can have 1 healthy extra b and 2 healthy extra a's. Not sure on the extra easy as it's not something I do x

[@sugarmouse6061]

Calories in and calories out is the best and most effective long term way to loose weight and keep the weight off. I recommend working out the calories of what you are eating so you aren't dependent on them in the long term. "Free food" has calories. If you eat more than you burn you won't loose.

[@AtHomeWithChelle]

Thank you, I try and keep an eye on calories too :)

Not a cheap diet then, I can’t afford those foods.
