I was working with someone yesterday who has been following a very popular diet for the past thirteen years. I have to say I was astonished as to be frank she was bigger now than she was when she started but she was still passionate that this was the diet for her.

I would question if I purchased some hay fever pills and still had streaming eyes ten years later that I would be buying the same pills but I was also in the trap of 'I'm big, I therefore need to diet and even though I know that I won't keep it off I have no other choice as I can't stay big'.

What was interesting to me though was her use of the words sins, treats, good food and bad food. I also used to follow this same diet (I did five years on it and was also heavier at the end than the start) and I used to live on the syns. Syns meant nice good! Syns was the good stuff and I was allocated 15 syns a day to have.

And therefore I did have 15 syns a day, to the point if I had 3 syns left before bed I would go in the cupboards and find a third of a bag of maltesers to make sure I had my limit.

I would also be allowed loads of 'good' food and therefore I would eat huge portions believing that I was doing the right thing to get slim.

I remember one night going to a weigh in and being told that you could eat as many crab sticks as you liked and then going and buying a pack of 40 of them and eating the lot on the sofa...

But food is just food! It is all calories...if you eat 5000 calories a day of brocolli (good luck with that!) then you will put weight on, if you eat just one McDonalds big mac a day and nothing else then you will lose weight.

When though you talk about food in terms of being good, bad, a sin or a treat then you are bringing that food to life and attaching emotion to it, therefore in my opinion and what works for me so well is that I don't have any sins now, I don't have any treats now, I just have what I want and I enjoy it for what it is.

i have also been on the Cambridge Diet for a year and lost 6 stone i went from 16 stone to 10 stone it was nearly 4 hrs ago and like yourselves i also put the weight back on so fingers crossed Slimfast is the way to go xx

sheilawatts 29. Apr, 2011 at 19:01 pm

I am starting a new phrase in my life, I was fat and fifty and do not want to be fat and sixty so determined to lose weight and sf is my last chance, so everybody out there wish me luck as I start on this journey, and good luck to you all.

susanoyibo 15. Feb, 2011 at 13:22 pm

Yes I have just left the diet you mention and I am now 1 stone 3lbs heavier then when I started a year ago not the result I was hoping for. So I decided to make a change and go back to slim fast.

terriannemarshall 2. Mar, 2011 at 10:30 am

i have also done the above mentioned diet its not so bad just how strict it is. i will say tho i come back to slim fast about three times a year as i do it for 10 days at a time keep my weight loss off for a while but eventually does creep back on, but its definately A wonderful way to shake the weight fast! ive lost 1olb in 10days before doing SF. love love love the cafe latte flavour!

Hi Michelle,

Remember that alcohol can be the dieter’s downfall, so it’s wise to plan ahead – decide how much you can drink without your dieting willpower disappearing, and then stick to it. And remember, like all foods, alcohol contributes to your daily quota of energy (each gram of alcohol contains 7 calories), so drinking too much can lead to weight gain. Alcohol isn’t that nutritious either, so it’s not sensible to replace meals with it – if you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner, use up part of your snack allowance to do it, rather than replacing important nutrients.

If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Slim.Fast careline for advice, either by posting in the forum, or email slimfast@unileverconsumerlink.co.uk or call the Careline number on 0800 587 4471, Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, and one of our advisors will be more than happy to assist you.

I have also been on the Cambridge Diet but the calorie controlled 1000 calories. i was on it for 6 months and lost 3st after i came off it i became pregnant & then once i had had my baby went back on it and managed to lose 1 1/2 stone in 3 months but was less motivated, since then i went on syns diet and was a nightmare have out my 1st straight back on. so thought i would give sf a try, this is my first day and surprisingly dont feel hungry at all, so will see how it goes. good luck to everyone.

nettiebates 15. Jan, 2011 at 20:33 pm

what cerials can i eat with skimmed milk

charlotte duggan 18. Oct, 2010 at 20:06 pm

I've done the Cambridge diet and it worked really well for me, but the price is ridiculous and I missed eating real food. Yes you would drop roughly 5lb a week, but it was hard to stay focused on the diet for more than 2 weeks, before your desire to eat real food would make you jack it in, and all the money you spent would end up in the bin. Slim fast is working for me, its a cheaper alternative, i can eat real food and it provides the will power i need, as i know i have my set menu to focus on.

alishiaong 4. Dec, 2010 at 17:22 pm

i have also done the plan you speak of and was on it for 2 and a half years, i lost 2 stone 5 1/2 pound. i have been off it now for about 5 months as i was finding it very boring and a lot of money,i have now put on 8 of the pounds i found so hard to lose. slim fast(fingers crossed) will help me get back into me skinny jeans and for them to be comfortable again.

karenwhitehead 27. Sep, 2010 at 10:51 am

So glad it's not just me who can't do 'other' diets!! Hope this works for me now. I find concentration hard but hopefully with this easier plan and not too much food to think about, I'll finally get to where I want to be and find my confidence again.

Emma 26. Sep, 2010 at 14:42 pm

I think the point of this 'popular diet' is that it teaches you how to eat healthily. If you look at the food pyramid, fruit, veg, carbs and protein are the majority of your daily intake, dairy and fibre are in the middle, and fats and sugar are the small amounts at the top. This is what the diet basically is.
To those who say 'how can you eat without limit and lose weight' the point is, there are no restrictions so you fill up and you learn when you are full, which is a common problem for serial dieters.

It does work if you stick to it properly, it did for me and others in my class. I stopped going because of the costs but have continued to follow the plan at home and have lost 2st.

Leanne 8. Oct, 2010 at 09:06 am

I have stared to follow slimming world pans when my friend natile wood advised me and have lost 2 pound in a day well i keep going guys :0

suebaxter 5. Sep, 2010 at 11:44 am

Great article and for me portion size is very important if portion sizes stay big with healthy meals then those meals start on a slow road to being not so healthy before long if your not watching those scale readings the weight will sneak back on !! Having been on SF for nearly 3 weeks with a loss of 12lb I have to say am really surprised that I don`t get hungry much between meals and often any have one of the 3 snacks allowed ,probably due to the fact my stomach has shrunk? I don`t know for sure but on SF I don`t feel very hungry between meals and also do not feel tired and low on energy as I thought I might.the shakes must be very well balanced! Thanks Slim fast!!

Emma 5. Nov, 2010 at 12:06 pm

well i have been following the "Diet" mentioned in the article above. And find it brilliant. i have lost 14 and 1/2lbs in 5 weeks i haven't done any excerise to aid this at all just my usual runnign round after 3 kids. I'm never hungry as i fill up on the right food and i do have the occasionly treat (syn) i think it's fantastic and i personally wouldn't call it a diet. It's a change of life style and for me it is working wonders.

amandaconway 16. Aug, 2010 at 21:50 pm

hi im just motivated to lose weigh as i had a baby 8 month ago,i have bein wearing support pants every day and havent took notice of my expanding tummy.......... i start tomoro so hope it works okay for me ent tips would b gr8.....thanxs

sharonwall 29. Sep, 2010 at 15:21 pm

i have started the slim fast diet today and have found it quite simple to do compared to some diets the shakes are quite tasty especially the strawberry flavour one and the little caramel bars are nice and they are chocolate mmmmmmmmmmm so lets hope i can shed a few pounds

joanstewart 18. Sep, 2010 at 22:43 pm

I am too an experienced S/W, W/W etc etc dieter......done them loads!!!! Have also done the starvation route....5 stone off in 5 months, kept it off for 1 yr then gained 6st !!!!!!
Agree with loads of the comments re. gluttony and over eating,portion size etc(so glad its not just me)too much to think about, plan, shop and basically devote time to...
Well im starting slimfast "properly" today, feel and hope this is the last diet I do, even if I do it for the rest of my life !!!! thanks everyone

angelaquilter 10. Aug, 2010 at 14:42 pm

i stopped smoking on the 30th july 10,was gutted this morning to find i ad put 5lbs on this morning,i avent eaten any more or less this week,but i do want to stay top smoking,so ive deceiced to do the sf one.i did the syn one yrs ago and just fount i weighed heavier when i left x

sallygaxherri 20. Feb, 2011 at 16:35 pm

Me too!!! I started that diet over 6 months ago and am heavier than I have ever been. Started SF and have lost 4lb so far which I am really pleased about.

Lisa 16. Aug, 2010 at 20:52 pm

What I dont understand with regards to the SYN'S diet is that you could eat and eat and eat till you was sick, How the hell this is good for you is beyond me !!!. I had been on this diet previously, but i think it is a little dissapointing when you want to see results and quickly. I have started slim fast 123 plan now, As i want to regain some control with my eating habbits. I want my stomach to feel satisfied, Not fit to burst !!!

RachSwinton 27. Jul, 2010 at 14:40 pm

I lost almost 3 stone (in 3 months)on the "points" diet and I found it really easy to do, I never thought about food all the time and I was never hungry. After the first couple of weeks I never hunted around to use up all my points as I soon realised that I needed to change my opinion of food, I didn't have to eat everything just because I could. However, due to another bout of depression I put 7lb back on in 1 week because I would over-eat (the food which I must point out I was never denied). The points diet is amazing but it's gradual and I need to lose 7lb quickly for my wedding but I'll soon be back on the points diet. I've done SF at least 6 times and always but always put the weight back on(and some)when I stop, anyone can lose weight if they only drink 2 milkshakes for two meals, 3 low-cal snacks and a HEALTHY meal! Good luck to all those who are sticking to whatever diet they're doing.

rosalinddavidson 20. Jul, 2010 at 11:07 am

I started last week on the SF plan after leaving the Syns plan 2 weeks prior , well the weight had piled on (1st in 3 wks)as I ate all the food I had been denying myself for 2 years on 'the plan' (on which I lost 5 1/2 st at lightest).

Thw worst is the cravings you get not the hunger, I DO get hungry but the cravings are less now.

I have re~lost 7lbs!! in one week using SF simple plan 3-2-1 , no fussing over what to buy / eat/ cook.

karentalbot 29. Jun, 2010 at 19:49 pm

my self and my partner done slim fast a year ago we done it for 13 weeks and both have lost about half stone together.
I have not put on that much and my BMI is still saying healthy but as you you no ts how you feel and as i am off on holiday in 8 weeks i want feel good x

dawnwheatley 14. Jul, 2010 at 12:33 pm

ive done that diet but could never get my head around the idea that you could eat as much as you wanted on certain days (ie red / green, meat / veg pasta ) it didnt work and the only pounds i lost came from my purse

danimoscardini 25. Jun, 2010 at 07:35 am

Great article, food has so much power over people! food is just food, it can't give you a cuddle when you're down and it can't solve your problems, its fuel for the body not the mind

elaineedwards 17. Jun, 2010 at 22:12 pm

i will let you know nexst week as i too have just started this diet will have been on it for a week on monday my daughter has been on the plan for 2weeks as has lost 3ibs a week so far , i too drink a lot of tea but shouldnt make any dif as your meant to drink a lot of fluid anyway good luck maybe youl lose a lot this week.

traceyblurton 17. Jun, 2010 at 07:46 am

ive been on this slim fast for a wek now with no weight loss at all my down fall is i drink alot of tea do i have to cut all of it out is this why im not getting anywhere

juliepike 16. Jun, 2010 at 08:00 am

What a great article and totaly agree with it , I am now at my heviest after doing all the other diets my problem is like one of the other ladies no self control if your told you can eat as much as you like you do . I have only been on the 321 plan for a week and find it great . Im not thinking about food all the time its easy to follow and its as you say no sins or bad food its great and I feel I have energy which is something I lacked , fingers crossed it carrys on ,

rebeccachapman 17. Jul, 2010 at 14:49 pm

im also new to the SF diet plan, i only started yesterday and find the shakes and snacks really tasty, im going on holiday in 11 months with my boyfriend and want to feel good about myself and feel confident within my weight but i find it hard to exercise cuz after half an hour i get really hungry, i was just wondering if anyone can give me any advice or tips x x

sallyhonour 12. Jun, 2010 at 20:37 pm

I have 6 children and have struggled to lose the weight I have gained during each pregnancy. My husband is very supportive and as he needs to lose some weight too, we have both started the slim fast plan today. other diets I have tried have left me craving food most of the day, the slim fast plan has left me feeling quite satisfied and it has given me a boost to stick to it and lose some weight at last!!

jenniapedaile 9. Jun, 2010 at 14:05 pm

my 14 year old daughter started sf on monday.she has tried healthy eating in the past but didnt hardly lose a thing.her bmi is over 30 and she is desperate to drop at least 2 dress sizes.so far shes doing well but ive told her we will give it a month and see how it goes.shes enjoying the shakes and snacks and she was surprised that she didnt feel hungry.i just hope for her sake that it works and gives her the confidence boost she needs.

helenbrunton 29. Jun, 2010 at 13:54 pm

encouraging to read all the above. I've done the Syns for three separate times now and ended up much bigger than when I started. 321 seems alot easier way to go.

carolinecampbell 12. Jun, 2010 at 18:03 pm

Great article - thanks! I've done the points diet and lost 13 lbs in 8 weeks but had to come off it as I became obsessed with counting points morning, noon and night. I couldn't stay on the diet for the sake of my sanity!! Needless to say though I put all the weight back on. I need to lose 5 stone and have started SF today. The simplicity appeals to me - I won't have to count points or syns or calories - great!

saracocklin 6. Jun, 2010 at 16:00 pm

I have tried just about every diet there is. I started Slim Fast on Friday and so far have lost 1lb a day. I am really pleased and determined to stick at this, which shouldn't be a problem coz it's so easy.

jodieboyer 4. Jun, 2010 at 12:24 pm

Hi i'm new to Slim Fast too - really hoping this is the diet that is going to make a difference as nothing else has yet! 2 days in so far so good - no rumbly tummy as yet!

heatherdumigan 18. Jun, 2010 at 14:16 pm

I lost six and halfst with the sins dietbut over 2yrs put 2 back on not working for me anymore so on sf and the weight is coming off again, and theres no thinking what day your on alot easier, been on it two and half wks now and lost 7lb.

louiserowlands 21. Jun, 2010 at 16:13 pm

Can i just say firstly great article. I am new at this diet i have tried other diets but haven't worked. I love my food an i am a big eater i have downsized my plate to try an shrink my stomach was that a good thing? I am not happy with my self haven't been for along time so i really need to do something about it!! please help???!!!!!

jackieedwards 27. May, 2010 at 14:24 pm

hi i also lost 5st on one of thoses diets but most of it came back again i am going 2 start sf now but i think i am going to miss my porridge in the mornings

lynnegreen 26. May, 2010 at 17:43 pm

I have just started slim fast today. I too like so many others have been on the points and syns diets. I lost a stone and a half on both but am slowly putting the weight back on again. I became totally food obsessed on both diets and totally over ate on the syn diet. I just want to feel good in time for summer and lose my muffin top!! I totally agree that moderation is the answer but I'm not sure I can be that disciplined.

tracycunningham 25. May, 2010 at 16:44 pm

im new too never had prob in past before with my weight but since had baby 18month ago weight is not shifting and full time mum so dont have time or money for gym so off to buy a fitness dvd forhome and walk more i eat healthy it just not shifting weinght

sarahkane 24. May, 2010 at 17:49 pm

Im new to SF and day 1 has gone fine thought i would be a lot more hungry than i was, can anyone help me with calorie counts for a normal salads with no dressing just a sprinkle of viniger? and any ideas for any meals? ?

alexandrachisholm 24. May, 2010 at 12:47 pm

The rules do seem to change a lot with the points and syns diets - plus it really does rack-up cost wise. I think the worst thing about the "eat as much as you like of this one thing" diets is that it encourages gluttony. My sister successfully lost a LOT of weight on the syns diet - but does describe it as "the diet for gluttons" - I have absolutely NO restraint when I'm told I can eat as much as I like of something - I just do. My busy, single living lifestyle makes recipes of 4 pointless and cooking every night impractical. Grab and go is the way forward. I often use the microwave at work, so I'm planning on sometimes having my "meal" at lunch time if I'm heading out in the evenings. Portable food in single portions is absolutely to very best option for me!

lynnhood 23. May, 2010 at 21:56 pm

I as well have done the mentioned diet and yes did lose weight but like everyone else soon put the weight back on. Being able to eat as much as I liked of certain foods on a green or red day just doesnt teach you to eat in moderation. I have just started slimfast and cant wait to see what I lose in the first week. At least this time whatever I lose won't of meant I have eaten a years supply of pasta in one day,

Joanna 23. May, 2010 at 12:52 pm

Ive been on this diet too and it no longer seems to work especially working shifts it makes it difficult to think of new things to eat or if you're rushing, you end up eating the wrong thing! I've been on Slim Fast for the last 5 days and not once have I been hungry and it fits in perfectly into my working day whatever shift i'm on. So far, i've lost 4lbs in the last 5 days so really hope this is a sign of things to come!!

lornasimons 21. May, 2010 at 18:51 pm

it all makes sense, i have tried both of the other diets mentioned and have done just a low carb by cutting out potatoes bread and pasta and a lot of rubbish i lost 2st that way but lost nothing on the other two, i think it is just too much to think about and then i get fed up with trying to find the good things and avoid the bad things, SF seams to be the way to go, i don't have to think too much lol, i have been shopping and am ready to go in the morning.

jacquelinebrookes 20. May, 2010 at 17:52 pm

Have also tried all above mentioned diets to varying degrees of success.Counting points/syns can be a pain and its right that they do keep changing the rules/plan. On that note however I've also tried SF before and I'm sure the meal wasn't as high as 600 calories and one could also buy pastas and soups, what happened to them?

amandahudson 20. May, 2010 at 14:34 pm

I was on the diet you refer to and after months of staying the same, the leader recommended i have my thyroid checked!! I started the 3-2-1 plan 3 days ago and already feel more in control and positive.

pamelarussell 18. May, 2010 at 14:57 pm

I too have tried other diet plans but there is always too much choice, easy to overeat (even on good things) and they keep changing the rules!! I was slim until my late 40s and hate being overweight but know I can't keep beating myself up about it, just need to do something about it. I need to lose weight consistently and do not have time to spend half the day adding all the points/syns etc. One or two of my colleagues have done well on SF because of its simplicity. So this is day one and fingers crossed. kr P

deborahjackman 17. May, 2010 at 15:57 pm

i am due to start my diet toay with a well balanced meal of chicken and steamed veg as my gp has said i have slightly raised bp but i lack the self confidence to go to a class on my own so i hope this works for me and tips or advice would be very helpful

traceyclothier 14. May, 2010 at 20:44 pm

I've actually lost 6 stone on this diet. I am trying Slim Fast as something different because after a operation I am finding it difficult to swollow and the shakes make sense. As with any healthy eat plan, you stick to it you lose weight, if you dont you gain.

glenysdefesta 14. May, 2010 at 20:46 pm

I have done the "syns" and the "points" diets, ALL I ever did was think about food, when i was to have some more, what was i going to have, what do i have to buy, what will i have for my lunch tomorrow.. GRRrrr so annoying, doing slimfast in the working week, monday to friday, I have lost 3lb in the first week, really really pleased :) xx

juliemacdonald 14. May, 2010 at 16:04 pm

I had to smile about finding that final packet of maltesers, just to end the day with the right number! I've done this and another very popular plan with so called 'treat food' - and seemed to just live for those treats. I've chosen Slim Fast plan as its very no-nonsense. There is choice if you want it - but I like the way it is presented: 3 snacks, 2 shakes, 1 meal. I can never decide what to eat when I'm at a restaurant - for me the simplicity of 3-2-1 means I don't really even have to think. The DEFINITELY fits into my lifestyle - too many other things to think about!

samanthabetts 1. Jun, 2010 at 10:42 am

i did well on that diet, but i made sure i stuck to only 5 sins per day not 15! and if i didnt fance sins i would try not to have any at all! just the milk in my tea :)

karen 10. May, 2010 at 20:22 pm

Great article. I have also done the plan mentioned and the other famous one to and am now heavier than before. 2 years ago I tried calorie counting and did well for a while losing 1.5 stone (I've put the half back on) but I run out of steam!! and find it hard to think of things to eat and generally get bored.

I too am starting the slimfast plan this week. As I can't have milk I am opting for the meal bars which I can keep in my bag and munch when needed.

Here goes!

rachelstaines 4. Jun, 2010 at 07:38 am

im new to the slim fast diet, i found the article intresting and im more determined than ever to stick to a diet, just hope this ia the one for me

admin 10. May, 2010 at 14:39 pm

Thanks for the comments!

@Christine - Do let us know how it goes!

christine 9. May, 2010 at 22:42 pm

I have been doing this popular diet that you have spoken about and thinking about it i have been on it for over a year now and i am still the same weight but a lot of money down. I am starting on Slim Fast on tuesday and I think it will fit into my lifestyle better. What you said about the other plan is right I have been over eating on other food that I was "allowed" thank you for opening my eyes to this, and fingers crossed for Slim Fast.

I could not agree more that no food should be a sin, appropriate portion control and a little of everything is the way forward. If you tell someone that something is bad and forbidden then they are more likely to want it.

Excellent article and certainly true for me, I do class food as either good or bad when thinking about it I suppose it is something I have always done.

Anyway food for thought and appreciated.
