    I'll judge them when they arrive on the supermarket shelves. No point in deciding before then as we have no idea what they are proposing to make and how we're supposed to use them yet.

    Fruit Juice and Diet Coke?

    Diet coke is fine. Fruit juice from fresh fruit is syns. You'd be a lot better of with no added sugar cordials. Syn free and helps with getting enough water if like me you don't like the taste of water on it's own.

    extra easy problem

    I struggle with EE as I don't eat fruit so can only follow if I have a cooked breakfast. I struggle with snacks as well, but I digress. If you feel that EE it isn't working for you there is nothing to stop you going back to good old red and green days. Don't give up over a slight glitch.

    Newbie - so confused

    Nope pasta is free on green, you can have as much as you like. It's fats and sugars you have to watch out for. According to syns online the sausages work out at 4 - 5 and half syns per sausage. Unless they're the 50% less fat ones which are 2 and half syns.

    Newbie - so confused

    Fair enough, I hope you do well on it and enjoy it. As far a budget goes I'd consider looking at green days, they are far cheaper than having to buy in lots of meat. The leaner the meat the more expensive it can get too. There are loads of threads on sausages and their syn values in the syns...

    Newbie - so confused

    Also, is there any reason you're not going to a class? Talking through with a consultant will help you get to grips with the plan if you can make it to one.

    Newbie - so confused

    On red days lean meat with all visible fat removed is free. Sausages tend to contain high amounts of fat mixed in with the minced up meats and flavourings.

    Does flying make you gain weight or is it just a myth?

    I think that the fact that people are usually flying to go on holiday and eating and drinking lots while there helps weight gain too. ;)

    youghurts other than mullers

    The only muller I get on with is the vanilla ones, I was hoping the new longley farm vanilla were low syn, I think it worked out as 8.5 syns per pot though. But yeah, try vanilla before you give up completely if they're the easiest for you to source.

    baked bacon and mushroom risotto - NO STIRRING!!!

    I made this tonight with fresh mushrooms as I couldn't find dried ones in Asda. I still soaked them in the boiling water for a bit. I also skipped the parmisan as I've never been keen on it. It was yummy and everyone liked it, even my dad who doesn't do diet food. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
