I have now come to realise that I have been eating synned meats for quite a while hence the slow loss rate....the majority of the sandwich meats available in my local shops and supermarkets are synned, be warned be careful! it has to be less than 95% pork, chickn, turkey for it to be free

it is packet sliced ham that I am concerned about. Ham that I have been eating thinking it was free hasn't been! So wondering about next time I go shopping if there is a way I can tell what is free or not as where I live does alot of local produce that isn't in book or online.

Hi I am really confused about packets of ham and whether they are free or synned. With so much variety in the shops how can I be sure I am buying syn free ham? Anyone who has a list of syn free hams and/or other sandwich meats please share with me thanks :)

dragon curry Hi just letting you that SW head office have finally tested dragon brand curry and it is actually 58 syns per tub not 10

For all of you Irish members devastating news, SW head office has just confirmed this week that Dragaon Brand Curry is actually 58 syns per tub not the 10 syns as what was previously thought!!!!!! I am devastated as I was using this more than my usual choices of curry and now I find this out...

exactly loopeylou its the appearance that puts me off using it as dressing don't think the white spray will look too appealing

yeah i have used the others but have only used the olive oil one in frying and roasting suppose I may as well just try it raw and hope for the best lol

Hey everyone was just wondering if anyone has ever used the frylight olive oil as a dressing on salads just like you would use ordinary olive oil? I love salsa and i usually make my own but i use a lot of syns using olive oil so I wonder if the frylight version would be nice when used raw (not...

thanks for that, i thought that rice couldn't be used but we all do that little bit of wishful thinking lol

Hi I am just wondering if pasta and rice has to be wholemeal to be used as a healthy extra? or can I just continue using "ordinary pasta/rice?"

Hey i just saw replies there now. My sister found out that a quarter of the tub is 2.5 syns and i also saw someone else post on this site on their food diary that a quarter tub is 2.5 syns. They work out syns using the syns for curry paste from book. I don't care how its worked out just so long...

i am quite aware of what red day stands for and it is red meat in excessive amounts that cause problems not fish nor poultry that is why i just highlighted red meat as an issue. yes it is an older book i quoted from. Thank you to those who have answered the original thread.

This topic came up when discussing green and red days as alot of the ones in my group prefer the "old" way and we wanted to focus this session on discussing that instead of ee. She is not new she is actually the longest running consultant in my area. Heres a few extracts from Slimming World...

It was a sw consultant who advised breaking every 3 days of doing red. She had said that it didn't mean doing a completely meat free day but sticking to a green day when the meat would be a healthy extra or syned is the right option. I tend to agree with this because too much red meat is...

as far as i'm aware it isn't too good (health wise) to do red days for more than 3 days continuous. You're supposed to have a break in between as in have a green day after the third red day. It is because too much meat isn't good for our bodies.

Thank you for the quick reply I really appreciate it :)

Hi everyone i am very new to this site and i browse for advice more than write on it. I am hoping someone can help me out here. I do green and red days, depending on what food I have in cupboards will depend on which day i am doing, I have not done extra easy before but i would like to try it...

Hi i am just new to this site and i was wondering if anyone knew the syns to Dragon curry. I live in Northern Ireland so i'm not sure if it is only available here or throughout UK. It can be bought in most shops here and it is like chinese curry. It is a paste that water is added to. Any...
