I lost over 4lbs in one week on Slimming World following the Extra Easy SP plan

July 13, 2018 14 Comments

Yes that’s right I lost an amazing 4.5lbs in one week on Slimming World following the Extra Easy SP plan

 I lost an amazing 4.5lbs in one week on Slimming World following the Extra Easy SP plan and here I share exactly what I ate.

I know how much you have been loving my what I ate this week posts on the blog (not had a chance to post anymore the last few weeks, as it’s been hectic with the kids off school now for the summer holidays.

But with my amazing facebook group, I wanted to join some of the members on a full SP week. If you have small losses, then SP is brilliant if done correctly. As it encourages you to eat plenty of speed foods and cuts out some of the higher calories free foods like pasta, potato etc which we can have a tendency to overeat.

For me, my weight losses are very slow if I go to heavy on those foods, and if I really up all those healthy speed foods, it definitely helps to boost my weight loss.

But you may be asking

What exactly is Slimming World SP? 

and I am going to explain it to you below.

  1. In your slimming world booklet or on Slimming World online you will see some of the free foods listed with either an S (for speed) or P (for protein) next to them.
  2. On SP you eat only those S and P foods, but 1/2 of your plate at least should be speed foods. Be careful there too, as there are quite a few fruits which do not speed foods and a few starchy vegetables too.
  3. As well as the S and P foods, you can enjoy 2 healthy extra A choiceS and 1 Healthy Extra b choices, plus your 10 syns as normal. (NOTE: when I did this full week below it was 2 B choices, 1 A choice and 15 syns)
  4. One word of advice I will give to really ensure you get the best out of your SP week, is to watch what you are snacking on between meals. I try to keep to healthy options like speed foods (fruit or veg) and make sensible choices with my syns and healthy extras. It’s a really good idea to try and vary them and not pick the same things each day.
  5. Also be careful with your synned foods too. Remember you can only eat the S and P foods, so while you can use your syns on some peanut butter or similar if that’s what you fancy, you can’t use your syns on a packaged meal that contains pasta, using a free foods allowance to calculate the syns, as remember pasta is one of the foods off bounds on your SP week.
  6. If you find a full SP week too much to take on, try the odd SP day here and there until you get comfortable with how it works. You also don’t even need to do a full SP day, you can just add in the odd meal here and there.

So now with all that explained, here is everything I ate on my full SP week which resulted in my 4.5lbs loss.

    Recently joined SW two and half weeks ago looking for low carb low fat regime and I think SP is it. This is my 3rd day doing SP. From tomorrow I will use my Syns for olive oil avocado butter and such like.
    Being Type 2 diabetic the SP plan is suitable for me.

    Good luck Sandra, you can totally do this.

    I see you had 2 HeBs most days and only one HeA, so is it different for sp due to the lack of carbs?

  7. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    Hi Char, SP has changed slightly now, it used to be you got 2 b’s and 1 a choice, but now you get two a choices, 1 b choice and only 10 daily syns.

    I’m currently doing and SP week and I’m half way through but I’m curious if meat has to be plain or can it be marinated in a sauce (will count the syns for sauce)?

  10. Siobhan (Slimming Eats)

    Yes you can add marinades to your protein

    In the UK it is 2 HEa and 1 HEb. I have checked and same in the US

  12. Siobhan (Slimming Eats)

    September 20, 2020 at 1:30 pm

    Yes it changed, but at the time of doing this the healthy extra allowances were different.

  13. Hayley

    November 7, 2020 at 3:37 pm

    I’m a little confused – all of these SP meal plans include 1 HEA and 2 HEBs. I thought the Slimming World plan was 2 HEAs and 1 HEB.

    Hi Hayley this is explained in the write up to this food diary at the beginning of this post. At the time of completing this food diary, here in the USA/Canada that was our healthy extra allowance, since then healthy extras have changed when following SP. Hope that helps.
