Slimming world UK

Can someone educate me how slimming world UK works? What is the syn sistem? How do these ppl I see on Instagram loose so much weight eating potatoes and baked beans???
I tried to find out online but couldn't find a good explanation. I don't wanna sign up without knowing what it is about.

    Drpsamin..basically the have a book where it lists all the foods and their syns value against them. Also they have a book that advises how you should eat your meals. .eg.breakfast u can pick a healthy a and a healthy b option but if u have one of those options say it was rolled oats again in ur day then it counts as a syn. Another eg is that u can have two slices of wholemeal bread a day but if yiu have anymore after those initial two slices then it goes towards your syn total. You get 10 or 15 syns a day I think which are like little treats to yourself. My FIL has been on it since January and has lost over 4 stone (60 odd lbs) to date.
