    Doing SW without HEX A's?

    Hi, I'm in a bit of a predicament right now..I want to restart SW but not only am I dairy free, I can't have enriched dairy substitutes either..they all contain ingredients I am sensitive to. I can have organic soy milk but they don't contain calcium, hence they don't count as HEX A's...is there...

    Yeah but Maultaschen contain a filling..the problem with some filled pasta is, that you can't use the 20 calories/1 syn rule as the pasta itself counts as free food. My best advice is either to do an online membership..you can then access their calculater which takes into account free food...

    Do diets REALLY work?

    I think the problem is not the diet - I never viewed SW as THE only way to maintain weight. We have to use our common sense. On days when I expected to eat high calorie stuff I wouldn't do SW at all. I would just count calories so I don't go over. But for day to day living, it helps you to...

    Tempeh???

    Yeah it's in the link:-) I just checked how to make tempeh yourself - it's really just soya beans and vinegar..I can't see how that can't be free on green days??

    What a waste of 60p!!! They are so unhelpful (maybe I should have not mentioned that I am not going to classes at the moment) Only response is: "What??

    Sorry you have gained all your weight back - but you can do it! Just do one day at a time.

    Tempeh???

    I haven't found ANYTHING on the internet regarding syns, free food etc when it comes to Tempeh. I can't find it in the books either probably because you can't really get it in the supermarket - rather in health shops and ethnic shops. Tempeh is a vegetarian meat alternative made of fermented...

    How many Superfoods did you eat today??

    Just noticed you listed Tempeh - I was wondering if it was free on SW since it is just fermented soy beans?? I mean it's like tofu just chewier :-) I thought it might be free on green?
  125. judywoody

    Thinking of giving up :-(

    I was thinking - rather than wheat products (like cous cous and pasta..even if it's wholewheat..) if it makes you feel bloated try potatoes instead. Carbs are really important to make you feel full and potatoes - oyt of all the staples - are lowest in calories per 100g. Also, SW is based on how...

    Is SW Low Fat?

    I don't think it's low fat as such...i would say it's low GI which includes lots of low fat and low calorie foods but not too low in fat.just about right!

    Not in this case - it's a hex b. It's like porridge..whether you use it in a pancake or boil it with milk doesn't make a difference. It would be different if you used free food (like couscous in green days) as flour substitute.

    The magic of water

    Edit: By the way - too much water isn't good either. The average person doesn't need more than 2.5 ltrs a day - that's perfectly ok if you have a normal weight.

    Lidl is not rude - they are efficient..hahaha..those Germans again :-) I do like Lidl and Aldi but I can't always find everything I need - In fact, most of what I usually buy I can't get in Lidl at all. eg certain types of cheese and yogurts and also wholemeal pasta I don't get there. I only go...

    Extra Easy Has anyone .......

    I agree with Princess Stevie..to me it sounds like you want to lose weight without having to make any changes... As far as I'm aware, EE only works properly if you stick to the 1/3 superfree food. Otherwise you can go for Red or Green Days. On those plans it works just as good without the 1/3...

    Anybody ever managed to be slimmer than they have ever been?

    Hey wow! We are both the same height and you started at roughly the same weight and are now at the same weight I got stuck at .. !! I gained weight again since but I used to weigh a lot more and lost over 5 Stone!! Congrats to this huge weight loss - Are you planning to lose a bit more in the...

    Anybody ever managed to be slimmer than they have ever been?

    Wow, that's great Capricorn! Well, should we open a new thread and give it a fitting title or shall we stay here then?

    Anybody ever managed to be slimmer than they have ever been?

    Sounds good! We could motivate each other and open our own thread :-)

    Anybody ever managed to be slimmer than they have ever been?

    I see a lot of success stories of people who used to be slim in their teens and prior but then gained a lot of weight due to pregnancy or other reasons. But I feel that I don't see too many success stories of people who have never really been slim and then became slimmer than ever before? I...

    Great inspiration in the new slimming world magazine

    I just bought the new magazine yesterday and nearly fell off my chair when I read the success story of Rebecca Fyfe on page 16!! She looks amazing!!! She lost 10 stone 5 1/2 lb. I know there are lots of stories out there of women who lost that much weight - but she also got 7 (!!!!) kids and...

    Apple approved the slimming world app!!!!

    Also have an android phone -- what exactly is the app for? I guess it's only for people who are paying customers and can be accessed with the weekly password??

    Do you stick to SW 100% on odd days

    hehe...I'm trying :-) It's early days and I haven't lost anything last week....:-(
  217. judywoody

    Do you stick to SW 100% on odd days

    Healthy Extras :D Thanks so much - you just saved my day..haha..I was gonna go off and get a tub of ice cream from Tesco :-)
  218. judywoody

    Do you stick to SW 100% on odd days

    What I mean by that is if you have an odd day for example you are going for an unplanned meal or you have had a bad start in the day and can't have your usual healthy breakfast and have to pick somethin up on the way and can't count the syns because it's non-branded food or you know it's way...

    Can you eat too many eggs?

    It's not that I eat eggs whole all the time...I just have them in a lot of stuff..omelettes, carbonara, SW-friendly cakes...When I eat them whole and boiled I find, too that they make me feel constipates..bleugh... So I guess on one has had a problem so far when it came to weight loss? That's...

    Chinese dim sum

    Wanted to dig out this thread again...A lot of people probably don't know what Dim Sum is..But if anyone does I would be grateful if I could get a general idea about the syns..and/or about the effect on your diet :-)

    Can you eat too many eggs?

    Oh my goodness...that's weird...haha..didn't even know this stuff exists! That must have been a huge gap in the market;-) Never mind, I prefer mine with the yolks:-)
  222. judywoody

    Can you eat too many eggs?

    mmmhh...I don't quite agree with the egg yolk theory :-) Egg yolks are really good for you - the cholesterol in the eggs won't raise your blood cholesterol..that's an urban myth..It's too much sugary and fatty food. The cholesterol in eggs is good cholesterol. But I guess that too much of...
  223. judywoody

    Can you eat too many eggs?

    I was just wondering if is possible to eat too many eggs on SW? I mainly do green days not EE so they are superfree aren't they (or have they changed it for all the plans?) I have been using eggs EVERYWHERE - and they still haven't come out of my ears :D But is there a point when you eat too...

    Oatmeal/ Instant Porridge

    Thanks a lot! That helps :-)
  225. judywoody

    Oatmeal/ Instant Porridge

    yes, it's more like ready brek - tesco vlaue oats are still proper oats. But what do you mean by cooked weight?? Alerady made with water and then weighed??But I usually have it with milk!?!How on earth can you measure cooked porridge? Oh and if it's not ready brek but another make?? Are you...

    Oatmeal/ Instant Porridge

    Unfortunately I had no response yet and the threads I could find on this were rather vague. Just bought a box of tesco instant oat hot cereal (not the sachets!!)....i am still not sure if they count as hex b!?they got less fibre than my usual porridge but it says on the box it's high in fibre...

    cycle for life??? cycling for charities??

    Unfortunately I'll be away that weekend but I will keep it bookmarked for next year :-) Thanks!

    cycle for life??? cycling for charities??

    Hey guys...i am not very good at running but I do love cycling. Unfortunately I couldn't really find any events in my area (liverpool) apart from running events! Does anybody know of a charity that does bicycle races, too? Somewhere in the north-west?

    Lol...i hope not:-) can't imagine this to be incredibly nice though (can't use the puke smiley on my phone;-))

    So, was Jamie Oliver right?

    Funnily enough the pack lunch that german parents give to their kids is rather healthy..and we actually don't have cantines in our schools. A typical german packed lunch usually consists of a rye bread sandwich with ham or cheese, fruit,chopped carrots or other veg and a bottle of water or...
  231. judywoody

    So, was Jamie Oliver right?

    Oh a denglish attack!dear, my husband can't stop all day and now you start doing the same!! Waaah! :-) Yes german food is really nice I have to admit..i can't really go back without gaining half a stone:-(

    Green Days Am I on Track???????

    haha, yes I guess :-) Just for clarification - I do think people will still loose weight BUT your body works better on proper food :-) A lot of people only have weight loss in mind when it comes to changing your diet. That's what I was querying.. also I didn't say anything about going cold...
  233. judywoody

    Green Days Am I on Track???????

    I disagree :D Yes the calorie amount is the same - but look at it from a different angle. Food is for your metabolism what diesel is for your car. I used to work for a car dealer a few years ago. At that time they started using bio-diesel as an alternative to normal diesel - it was supposed to...
  234. judywoody

    Green Days Am I on Track???????

    I guess everybody is different :-) I was close to target before I stopped losing weight so I tried to use my syns differently..I envy you if it works for you :-) I think it's just trial and error - you can use different approaches and find the one that works for you.
  235. judywoody

    Green Days Am I on Track???????

    Also re your Syns - I dob't know how you usually use up your syns but it's better to use them for "real" food rather than chocolate :-) I would always stop losing weight if I used my syns for naughty food all the time. Try ro use your HEX B for meat or more cheese :-) I also use it for nuts and...
  236. judywoody

    So, was Jamie Oliver right?

    haha,ok sorry - proof that Germans have no sense of humour :D

    SW v.s Calorie Counting or Both?

    When I went to the group my C said not to count calories - just simply because you will end up going insane (it's like the weighing-yourself thing)..The point of SW is that you shouldn't become obsessed with calorie counting or the number on your scales. The whole plan is based on psychology...
  238. judywoody

    So, was Jamie Oliver right?

    What has that to do with being concerned about your kids and their health? It's a bit of a stupid name but so are a lot of names people give to their kids.
  239. judywoody

    I did it! I did it!

    Wow - Congrats!!! Any pics? :-) I think you have to ask you consultant (if you are going to the groups)..but as far as I'm aware you just add a few HEX and see how it goes. Everybody is different and can cope with more or less.
  240. judywoody

    So, was Jamie Oliver right?

    Yes, I agree too that it is false economy buying all this ***p... My husband and I are both on a very tight budget at the moment and we still manage to eat healthily. We buy frozen and tinned veg, tofu from the chinese supermarket (cheap), we have a produce stand in town that sells veg for so...
  241. judywoody

    So, was Jamie Oliver right?

    Well, I still prefer jamie to gordon...although I think jamie should stop saying the f-word...he is too old for this now:-) all tv chefs tend to keep gabbing on telly..they need to fill the time....

    No Way !!!!!!!!!!!

    Haha...i had a reply of the company..i know I could ignore the ad but it is such a bad advert that it just deserves a complaint...the director of the company himself replied: Thank you for your email, all feedback is appreciated. We do not believe nor imply that gastric banding is 'the'...

    Help - too many invitations!!!

    Thanks for all the replies so far...maybe someone could help me now... So for the funeral we had a roast dinner but I couldn't really choose how much I could of everything...so I had beef, 1 small yorkshire pudding, carrots, beans, peas, cauliflower, roast potatoes (they didn't have boiled) and...
  244. judywoody

    No Way !!!!!!!!!!!

    Just emailed them to complain about this sickening advert :-) Apart from the fact that the young lady on this picture surely doesn't need surgery...gastric bands are (if anything) a last resort for morbidly obese people and not a quick weight loss solution.
