    Playing by the F&H rules - but suspicious!

    Hello! One of my main problems with Slimming World is not being able to eat the bread and cereal and have as many cups of tea as I want. When I read the F&H plan, it seemed like the perfect balance between the two. On F&H I can have... let me get this right.... WW naan bread, wraps, bread...

    Crumpets? Really? CRUMPETS??

    Hey Featherhat, thanks for the reply! Yes, it's the SW type feel which combines the portion control that really appeals to me at the moment. I like the idea of doing mostly F&H and combining with perhaps 2 PP days, eg if I want a Chinese, with SW I would just beat myself up because it would be...

    Crumpets? Really? CRUMPETS??

    On the F&H list, thar be crumpets, as a food you can have as much as you want of. Crumpets?? How? btw I am a Slimming World girl. I am looking at the comparisons between the new WW plan and the SW plan. I fancy a change. Any stalwarts fancy convincing me? Can you mix and match the plans...

    Bit of a weird situation that I'd like to hear your opinions on....

    If it takes her a few years to get anywhere then surely it's a moot point about whether it's 9 months or 9 years into the relationship. I agree that gender is irrelevant. I know that's a BIG 'if' - but still a possibility. This is all conjecture and like another poster said, perhaps she just...

    Weight gain over last 2 weeks and wondered why? Now I know its Yoghurts...boo hoo

    You'd have to have eaten a hell of a lot of yogurt to have that be the sole cause of you putting on weight 2 weeks in a row. Plus, check the pots. There are a lot of the old pots still on the shelves. The ones with syns in all have a 'new recipe' sticker on the front.

    Chickpeas and Marmite

    You may want to check the fat content of the pack of Nik Naks against the fat content in a whole tin of chickpeas. A tin of chickpeas will fill you up more and be better for you than a packet of Nik Naks, which has virtually no nutritional value. But each to their own I guess.

    Roast Chicken stopping weight loss

    I'm not shooting anyone, but I wrote to the Big Four (Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Asda) and all of them told me that they categorically do jnot inject their chickens with oil, though flavoured ones obviously have some kind of glaze or baste on them. And like the lady above says, it's each to...

    Roast Chicken stopping weight loss

    The chickens are not injected with oil! That is a complete fallacy. However, a lot of them do have a brown sugar glaze on the skin and the rotisserie action causes them to be constantly basted in their own fat and juices, making it more difficult to remove the skin and have completely grease and...

    Extra Easy Why do I keep bloating?

    I find that foods with a high water and low acidity content are good, salads like lettuce and cucumbers (not peppers and tomatoes) lean chicken breast, apples rather than bananas and plain water not fizzy. Give that a go. Eggs also don't make me bloat, but I know they do for other people. xx

    Sushi Confusion...

    No, that's what I got for the 359g one! I do think that calorie amount is wrong on the site on that one. I'm suuuure it's more calories than that. I eat the Tesco sushi too!

    Sushi Confusion...

    I calculate that large sushi you had to be 2 and a half syns from the info from the link you gave, and putting it as EE and putting rice as the main green ingredient and salmon as the main red ingredient. This means that even though the vegetables in it got synned, you still come out at a low 2...

    Sushi Confusion...

    Did you make sure to check the free food content of the rice and the fish? That's what makes the syn count low in Tesco sushi!

    Extra Easy Days Personal hidden sabotage

    If you switch your crisp choices and have french fries (4.5 syns) instead of full fat crisps and have a mini milkyway (3 syns - I THINK) instead of a big Twix then you can have your sammich, crisps and chocolate for 7.5 syns and still have a few left for a hot choccie after dinner! Also...

    sw or ww?!!

    I've done both and to strip both down to their bare bones, one plus and one minus for each, I'd say: Weight Watchers teaches you about portion control first and foremost and healthy eating second. Slimming World teaches you about healthy eating first and foremost, and portion control is...

    Meat question (on EE)

    I eat the tesco value tikka as free, also some of the Asda ones are also free.

    doesthis affect the SW eating plan

    I think the main function of water is that it flushes out impurities. It can also help with the 'bunged upness' that excess fibre can give you. Also, it will help you determine whether you're actually hungry or just thirsty. You're less likely to reach for the biscuit barrel with a bellyful of...

    pains while losing weight

    I get weird pains when i eart raw tomatoes. Tinned or passata is fine. Raw tomatoes are the devil for me. Maybe it IS an intolerance, like others have said. Sounds like it might be. Good luck.

    Best place to Eat Out

    I like Wagamamas. I know people here champion Nandos but Wagas is mainly noodles, rice, meat, fish and veggies and they will hold the oil for you if you request it. My favourite is ginger chicken udon - but with the wholewheat noodles as a subsitute. I tend to go syn free all day and allow...

    I start the week with 105 syns. I count down, aiming for no fewer than 5 per day. If I go over, I still have my 5 per day til the end of the week. I don't go over too often, when I do, it's for a reason, like a big night out or something. Like Ilovelife says, if I go over one night...

    I wouldn't syn a bit of chopped apple in porridge. I don't get the whole 'cooking fruit' thing if it's just gently heated or if it's not a massive amount of fruit. EG I would have to syn a smoothie, because I wouldn't eat a whole punnet of strawberries, two bananas and an apple, but I could...
