Healthy Extra question :) - MiniMins.com

Loll1603 · 31st July, 2009

Hello

I was just wondering, do you have to use all 4 of your HEXs for the day? Is it recommended to do so, and would it effect weight loss if you did not use them all? Some days I am not eating them all (usally miss out B's if I dont really fancy them.) Is this silly and would it effect a loss?

Thanks lovelies!!

Aww brill thanks! I just had a read and see we should take our Hexs! xxx

You should definitely have both HeBs and at least 1 HeA in order for the plan to work Hun.

I really struggle with my A's, especially if I don't have cereal in a morning. What does anyone have as their A choice?

nope I love cheese haha

Mrs V · 31st July, 2009

I usually have 1oz cheese, or 250ml of semi skimmed milk on a red day..on a Green day, I have either 6 laughing cow extra light cheese triangles, 3 mini babybel lights or 1oz cheese! hmmmm....I see a trend here!

Chuffy_29 · 31st July, 2009

my A's are nearly always 28g of cheddar or 175ml of wholemilk, or both if i feel so inclined!

charlottegrace1 · 31st July, 2009

cheese or yogurt can be an A if not using milk

HellieCopter · 31st July, 2009

Cheese, cheese and er...cheese! Parmesan, cheddar, wensleydale, lanashire, cheshire, etc.etc. And there's cheese like goat's and mozzarella,which can also be a B choice on a green day.

Bex_2601 · 31st July, 2009

I always have milk for my tea as my HEXA, I will be honest and say i have at least 1 hexb as but 2 is sometimes hard as don't really have cereals etc. don't know what to have as a b today. maybe cheese toastie as a hexa and hexb.

cinderzxx · 31st July, 2009

i know i could hardly believe it when i thought of it. So naughty too!!! Look at my food diary (bekki) and look at the naughtiness i came up with the other day!

Lily · 31st July, 2009

Yum, cheese toasty... drools. :-p

But back to Hex As and Bs.

The official answer appears on the SW website as this:

Q: Do I have to eat all my Healthy Extras every day?

A: It won't affect your weight loss if you don't take all your Healthy Extra choices. However, the Healthy Extra section is there to ensure a balanced diet, so from a health point of view we recommend that you enjoy all your Healthy Extras each day.
