Fruit, veg, salad, fat free yogurts, bathelors fat free supernoodles, pasta n sauce, spuds (which you can make into chips which are lovely), eggs, rice, pasta, fish, chicken, lean meats and if you have a butchers nearby who do a slimming world range then you'll find other products that are syn free or almost syn free.  It's a great diet because on top of all the free foods there is a syn allowance aswell for treats!

That sounds brilliant. Oh how I miss bananas and apples on Atkins. Mind you, fry ups are allowed so its a trade off I suppose.

They are allowed on SW too   I need to get back on it, just writing about that free food has made me think wtf am I doing?? All that food and still lose weight?

Whats not to like Ells?

I'm grateful to Atkins, but having gotten the bulk of the weight off now, maybe I could ease up a bit.  I miss potatoes terribly...don't get me started 

I've sneaked on an extra few pounds - I lost all motivation a few months back - think I'll get back on it too. Next Monday - a new start (I know a whole week away sounds a cop out but SW day is Monday).

You have to have the odd lapse, now and again Soozy, its only human.

Good luck for next Monday

congrats that's wonderful!!! You should be very proud of yourself! I'm a 7 pound fluctuater, I usually just keep up with exercise and eat less naughty food if i gain a bit, that usually works for me. My friend swears by Atkins, she uses it to lose weight but then relapses. I hope you keep doing well

P.S. the last 6 months, I've been counting calories, except on Saturdays which is my free for all, it's worked wonderfully

 Now thats a good diet. What do you call it Sweet Summer?
