Hi Hathor

Hi,
I hope you don't mind me giving feedback?
I noticed you eat a lot of sweet things and snacks which are synned. Like one day you ate 1/2 of the squidgy cake. I think this might be slowing you down. Can you limit sweet treats to every other day?

I heard that syns are best used to make your superfree foods taste nice. You can use a really nice sauce which makes your veggies and lean meat taste good.

For a sweeter taste I usually use strawberries and mullerlight fat free yoghurts (the strawberry cheesecake one is 1syn I think?) ALthough yesterday I did have some real cheesecake :P

Also why is your greek yoghurt synned? If its fat free isn't it free?

Hi Hathor

No fire away feedback is great and very often people will spot things that you have no idea about ! I think the squidy chocolate cake was something that I wanted to make and eat when I first started as it lured me into thinking that I'm not on a diet and that I could still eat sweet things! I think limiting sweet things to every other day is a great idea, actually weds and yesterday I think managed not to have anything sweet even though we went out for food.

I dont eat mullerlights as they contain gelatin, my greek yog was a muller corner style which I had 12 free from work and they are gorgeous, I dont mind spending the 3.5syns on them. I do love berries and having those with vff fromage frais is lush

Hope you enjoyed your cheesecake, it does you good to have something you really fancy now and again doesnt it
