No, they're called 'syns' in Slimming World.
It's so that you don't see them as 'bad'.

I know what it's all about.
But their advice of eating speedfoods and counting the wine etc in 'syns', and being allowed as much pasta and spuds as I like really works.
Until I go mental, drink a bottle of wine and go to the chippy.

you can't eat as much pasta and spuds as you like and expect to lose weight. It's just physically impossible.
Unless you don't actually like pasta and spuds of course.

I needed to lose a stone for my mate's wedding a couple of years ago.
I ate ALL the pasta and spuds as I liked, very little meat (there is a meat version with very little carbs), I ate lots of Quorn, mushy peas and beans (superspeed foods).
I lost a stone in a month.
I did the same after Christmas and lost 7lb in the first week.
Magic. I am proof.

That seems a little too metaphysical to have any practical applications.

It fell off my uncle, my nephew and my nana.
It changed my nephew's life. He's not dead fat any more.

but eating tons of pulses and not doing any exercise will not make you thinner. They do not magically burn off fat, they simply fill you up with a smaller portion size so that you don't tend to eat as much.
