Thread: Slimming world crisps (free on green!!!!)

I think its another one of those foods that you need to trial for yourself....I used to have these crisps a few years ago when I followed all green days and they never affected my losses.
I can understand totally where the syns come from though...if I was to eat a 300g jacket spud with beans and cheese(HE A), I would be satisfied, however, if I were to eat a 300g potato made into crisps, I would probably (most definitely) be rooting in the cupboards 10 minutes later looking for more food!!

Treats, about the pork? Pork is free regardless of how you cook it. Perhaps they are assuming we would be cooking it in some kind of oil/fat?

ooer please answer that i never use the grill for anything i always bung chops etc in the oven and cook them that way as i cant be doing with standing and watching the grill and we have one of those ones where the door has to be open which isnt safe with Mini G's running around

All lean meat is free so long as you remove the fat before cooking and that you "dry" bake it.

Oh sorry have I caused confusion... I was reading this on my paperwork that I go from... I am upstairs on lappy at the moment but when I get downstairs on my pc I will have a look!

But I always cook on my oven sheet... wedges meat etc... just add herbs and thats it... oh and have never liked the fat on meat... geesh how did I not stay skinny...

mmm i didn't think they would be but not to worry i may have to try the pasta ones they sound lovely , i tried oven baking mine and i don't think i cut them thin enough they were like scollops tasted lovely though hahaha

Technically they are free (all ingredients free on green) however SW see it as a 'misuse of free foods' i.e. the normal non-dieter in the street wouldn't make doritos from lasagne sheets. Same goes for potato crisps (in that SW say you wouldn't normally go to the bother plus no 'normal' person would eat that many potato's in a sitting - not sure why it doesn't apply to SW chips) and the cous cous 'cake'.

Just what Ive always been told.

to have a dip with the crisps........quark makes a great dip mix it with chilli or mint sauce...........

i'm not posting in this thread any more you people are just giving me ideas to cheat lol XXXX

you have 10/15 syns a day..........so it aint cheating........use them

or quark with garlic spread on HEb bread! YUM!

oh i love this debate haha personally i think there far too yummy to be free anything tastes that good it's syns lol and it's the food science thing again it's such a small area to soak up such a large amount of fry light i imagine if you drank a full bottle of fry light it wouldn be free it's only free because it's so low for the amount you use, anyways i think all in moderation friday night in with slimming world crisps is better than sitting there with pringles with about a million syns.

This is similar to the cous cous cake thing....... If you only have 1 cake a week, then I'd count it as free.....

But don't do what I did and make 4 in a week then wonder why you only lost 1lb. I later worked out I'd had 100 syns in cous cous cakes alone (even though I ate them on a green day - you have to use the red syn value as you're using it as flour).
