Humm... yeah drink is really going to get in your way. I'm not saying I never go over my syns with it, but I know when I'm doing so that I'm likely not going to see much loss that week. Whats your tipple of choice? If its wine/beer, could you switch of a spirit/slim mixer?
Your diet sounds quite repetitive and hard to stick to in the long run. Are you a vegetarian by any chance? I didnt notice any fish/meat in what you listed. I'm not a veggie, but I do like to cook from the Happy Pear cookbook a bit, their stuff is very adaptable to be SW friendly.
Yes I'm veggie. Actually I could eat the stew every day, it's amazing - if anyone wants the recipe! And it's cheap, low fat and high in protein. If I was out, I would vary my meal and try to get curries with tofu etc and salads with "good" fats such as feta, olives, avocado etc. I know these are synned high but I don't get any saturated fat from meat so I would be a little more free and easy with these products. I find eggs are really a life-saver. They are so filling. At the weekend, there is nothing nicer than scrambling up 3 or 4 of them and having that with rye bread and a big mug of tea

All recipies welcome
I'd really recommend the Happy Pear red lental dahl - says it serves 4 but I get even more out of it, and like you said above, its super low in fat but high in protein and fiber and full of veg. Might make a nice change 0 -

Sweet Paprika Veggie "Curry"
In a large pot, fry some finely chopped onion. Add black pepper, white pepper, chilli powder and sweet paprika powder. Stir in half a tube of tomato paste and then add in a chopped sweet red pepper,two cans of rinsed kidney beans, 1 can of rinsed chickpeas, a can of drained sweetcorn, a can of chopped tomatoes, a mug of red lentils and a mug of vegetable stock. optional: Add in one or two par boiled diced sweet potatoes. Bring to the boil and then reduce heat. Add in 3/4 carton of sweetened soy milk. Add a good dash of sweet paprika.Cook on low heat for about 30 minutes.
Serve with brown rice or over a baked potato. It is so filling!
I discovered that the soy milk is a great way to make a very creamy dish without using dairy and without using higher fat coconut milk. Soy is really low fat and you wouldn't believe how creamy it makes the dish. Coupled with the sweet paprika, the taste really is amazing. And all of the ingredients can be bought in Lidl for less than a tenner - and it makes about 5 or 6 servings. 0 -

Hi Everyone Just thought I'd pop in here, did slimming world before and didn't click with it, but went back again 8 weeks ago and I don't know why I found it difficult before because it's really working now!I'm already down 1st3lbs
I've not has the best of weekends drinks wise, and am going out for fathers day dinner to make things worse, so I was thinking of trying some SP days next week to put me back on track. I think I've got the basic concept - half speed, half protein, no free foods, 1xHEa 2xHEb and your normal syns, but say for breakfast, could I still have weetabix and fruit or is this a no because there's no protein? Thanks 0 -

I knew the normal ones weren't HexB but I didn't think they'd be quite that bad! There goes me pretending I'm still being good by eating wholemeal instead of a normal one.
Back to the slims I go!0 -
Thanks Mary! One thing that I've been doing a lot of the past number of weeks is having about 2/3 SP days over the course of the week; i.e. days with no free foods, but twice your HExB, as well as having as much speed and protein foods as you like while keeping within your regular syn limit.Marymidlands wrote: »Well done. Any tips. I'm playing around with same pound up and down for last few weeks.
These work a charm for me, as I love meat and I can use my veggie speed foods to compliment them nicely. I just eat fruit and smoked salmon to keep me going between meals. I like my potatoes, noodles, pasta, and rice as much as the next person, but I honestly can give or take them depending on the meal. But this is where a lot of people would fall down on SP days however, as I know many folks who couldn't go without a potato or chips with their big meals.
But personally speaking, if I was to have a burger, steak, chicken salad, or a meaty breakfast, I could go without those kind of speed foods. The extra HExB helps out in this regard too, and expands your options in terms of the choice of meals you can make on SP days.
That's what I find helps me boost my weight loss anyway, I hope that help you! 0 -
