I started SW just over a week ago as my cholestral levels were high and I've already lost 5IB!! I already had the books as I've done SW before. Its the best for me at least. You have Green days meaning you can eat as much rice,beans,cheese,pasta,eggs,the list is endless. Then the Red days where you eat as much meat even a whole chicken as long as the skins taken off,fish not oily,all veg is "Free" on both R+G days. Mullerlight or any low fat yogurts are also Free. You also have 15 "Syns" that means you can have a pack of crisps,4 jaffa cakes,small choc bar.

The list is endless and all the food is very filling. You must have your fruit and veg,bread and cereals for roughage. SW is'nt a "Diet" more of a health eating plan,go for it!

I lost 3.5 stone on it last year and I'm about to restart it as I've gained a little weight again. I can honestly say I was never hungery on it. But I did miss things like cheese and I have a sweet tooth, but I ate plenty of fresh fruit which help with this.

Sounds like food combining then?

Just reading what you've written Chinadog doesn't sound like a diet at all.

Laughing at your comment you can eat a whole chicken!!

If I need to diet I'm going to remember this

It is the best diet I have ever done and it does work as long as you stick to it. Any diet where I can have a full english breakfast is good in my book :-)

That is on a red day and consists of lean bacon (free), sausages (free if you get the right ones), egg (free), mushrooms (free), tomatoes (free), and beans (an optional axtra or sins).

It is basically food combining, on a red day you can have unlimited lean meat but not much pasta/rice/potato etc.

On a green day you can have unlimited pasta and rice but limited amounts of meat.

Vegetables and eggs are free on either day, cheese and milk are your limited optional extras and then you still have 15 sins to use as a treat or to 'buy' more meat/pasta/potatoe/bread etc!

I did it a few years ago and lost 3 stone in 3 months. I am about to start again as I have lapsed recently and haven't been able to exercise due to illness and put a bit back on.
