Jess's green day diary

[KatieCupcake]

Brilliant, thanks for explaining. I reckon I'm definitely better sticking to Green then. I worry about not having enough protein otherwise, whereas I can have cheese and nuts etc on Green. That said after joining almost a month ago I weigh 2lb more than when I started, but I'm assuming that's down to Christmas, so I'll see how it goes in January!

I love green days so much!!! Although I know there is a whole big debate about the super free rule. I try to eat loads if veg anyway but does anyone know the official rule for green days?

I have never been a big lunch eater to be honest, but perhaps I could try and increase it a bit...

Cereal is a major love of mine so I love using it for syns. I might have a nose at some other diaries and get some other ideas if what people spend them on

The 1/3 superfree rule isn't a rule as such even on EE - it's a strong recommendation. However, if people aren't losing this is the first thing most people will suggest they focus on.
I think the newest Green/Red books actually include the 1/3 superfree 'recommendation', just the same as EE now.
