What is the deal with Slimming World weight loss??

Pinkteapot- it is because it is all super-low fat. Sure you can have as many baked potatoes as you want, but really, what is the point without the butter and cheese?
True... My mum has always eaten really healthily - she loves fruit and veg, lean meat and fish... Her problem was just primarily portion size.
I'm still upset that she can eat a pasta mountain. My 75g dried portion-size for pasta looks so stingy in comparison!
I know that all the different diet plans actually just boil down to CICO - they just get you to hit your net cal target in different ways... But some of the free foods on SW amazed me!

Yes i know that but my point is i am working to a cal deficit and lucky to see 2lbs come off after planning my meals, these people just start eating pasta and mince and they lose 7lbs. IT'S NOT FAIRRRRRRCalorie deficit presented with added whoo and whaa to make you part with your hard earned money.But think of the CHEESE Charlie.

It's just a calorie conscious program just like the thousands of others out there. No secret, no magic. People who are losing "tons" of weight are more than likely eating way less than they should. Unless you're tracking their calorie intake with actual measuring, you don't really know how much they are taking in.

Actually you can still choose to do them if you want but they do not promote it it's extra easy only now & SP which is more restrictive. Well the consultant obviously wasn't putting it across right - it's ment to fit in with anyone's style of eating. Those saying those losing big amounts are obviously eating less is totally wrong also you need to eat to lose & you lose more. The woman eating 6/7 mullers - she is obviously using them as her snacks instead of reaching for speed which should be a 1st choice x0

Surely weightloss is calorie in and calorie out, it doesn't matter what you are eating as long as you are in deficit Eating more doesn't really explain anything0

It's the energy density of foods. They are eating & filling up on lots of speed probably (fruit & veg) which is lowest in energy density thus very low in cals.
There is an image of s plate of steak pie, chips & peas with a = then 3 meals Sw style (a curry, steak & things & something else) these 3 plates equated to that 1 plate. So by eating the right amount of food you are getting more for your cals0 -

A steak... pie? What is that abomination?0 -
I don't know if that was a joke ha.
I eat steak pie every week but make it healthier & still lose weight. You can lose 4lb every week with slimming world if you commit 100%0 -
I never heard of that. Doesn't sound appetizing to me.0

Steak pie is a British food staple! It is basically a rich beef casserole with lots of gravy topped with pastry. I is not literally a grilled sirloin in a pie.0

It is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's an integral macro in the Aussie diet.

TOPPED!
No, no, no no.
A proper steak/steak & kidney/cheese & onion pie should always be encased, never topped.
Topping is a way for 'gastropubs' to use less pastry and increase profit.
