Wow. Bad week, and it's not even half way done. I decided to try and give dieting a break, but stick to healthy eating. I got fed up with counting every calorie, and every syn, so thought that if I gave myself a break, I could have a more enjoyable week, and get back on it next week without...

If SW hasn't provided a specific syn value, then 20 calories is always 1 Syn :)

Theres a SW magazine recipe for non-tomato based spag bol equivalent which is V tasty! Favourites for us with mince are Lasagne (can increase fat content with cheese and white sauce); Bulgar wheat and mince beef bake; Mince beef pie (pastry high in fat); homemade burgers with 'the works' (in a...

Peal a banana, and spread a thin layer of Chocolate Philidelphia down one side (maybe 15g?). Slice into a bown, and sprinkle with cinnamon - 2 Syns, healthy, and helps beat a chocolate craving! Plus, because it's chopped up, takes longer to eat, and more satisfying :)

I tried it by hand, using a blender and using an electric whisk... I took it as a sign, lol :)

I found I couldn't get the tofu smooth enough. It tastes pretty chocolaty though :) You could try mixing an 'options' hot chocolate (2 syns) with an egg and microwaving it. Or mix the power into fat free yoghurt.

You could cut it all into cubes and roast with garlic and herbs, then add it to some couscous or savoury rice :)

Buy a 400g loaf of wholemeal bread :) You can have 2 slices as a Healthy Extra B. Healthy extras: Green! A - 100ml of skimmed milk and 20g of low fat cheddar B - a wholemeal roll for a qourn burger :)

Green: HeB: 2 slices of wholemeal bread for toast (400g loaf) HeA: Can't decide!! Wish there was an icecream you could have... lol. Probably some cheese :) I can never quite bring myself to have 2 HeA's or 2 HeB's on Green and Red days... I'm so used to Extra Easy! It always feels like I...

I used to concentrate on Extra Easy, but have found that I lose more weight now alternating Red and Green weeks. My Fiance is a big Red food fan, so it's all good! A sample day: Breakfast: Ham and egg muffins (chopped ham, mushrooms and onion cooked with beaten eggs in cupcake tins) served...

HeA: NOt sure yet, although I'm thinking 200ml of Kara Choc Milk! HeB: 2 Alpen light bars

Things are gradually looking up. Granted, it's horrible weather outside, and it's cold. But I feel good, sitting at my PC with a huge bowl of homemade butternut squash soup (1/2 Syn for the creme fraice on top). I have still been keeping a food diary, but on my phone (MyFitnessPal) - I find it...

For a cheap restaurant style dinner, you could try this: adaptation of zizzi's strozapretti pesto rosso http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/143255-strozapretti-pesto-rosso-absoloutly-delish.html

EE: HeA: 45g half fat mature cheddar (some on toast for breakfast, the rest saved to go on pasta for dinner) HeB: 2 Slices Wholemeal Toast

Green: HeA: extra light dairylee triangles & alpro chocolate milk HeB: bread for French toast... Not sure on a 2nd one yet!

EE: HeXA: 275 ml skimmed milk (heated, with Cadbury's Highlight: Bourneville added :] - 2 Syns for a scrumptious hot choc!) HeXB: ??? Haven't decided yet, but figured it would probably be a good idea to save it as we're visiting family for dinner :)

Not a good day yesterday - wss v stressed, so managed to est a cinnamon swirl pastry, several savoury pastries at lunch, followed by a medium Domino's pizza to myself... :( WILL do better!!

So yesterday was not a good day, and I really don’t expect the next few days to be much better. So I have decided, after some deliberation, to give my diet a break.

Hey Pete - just wanted to say a bit thank you for this thread! It's really great to see all the dishes too, and they all look fab :)

This looks great :) Thanks for posting!

True - I just have real trouble resisting the treats at the weekend... It doesn't help that my fiance and friends aren't really all that worried about what they eat (for good reason - most aren't over weight). I tend to get sucked in to thier eating habits...

So I decided in advance that I wouldn't succumb to being on my own this evening, and indulging in takeaway - instead, I decided to treat myself to something decadent from marks and spencers... 19.05.12 Breakfast - 3 poached eggs and bacon - FREE Late-Morning Snack - Jacket potato with...

We have glazed ham with parsnip and potato mash. Dead simple, and great for a sunday lunch - I use tesco smoked bacon joint and avoid all the fat. Marinade it in 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar and a can of diet coke - no joke. Free and tastes great :)

We just tried quorn ragu pasta - really quick and easy! Boil 1pint stock with 700g passata, throw in onion carrot and celery, quorn mince (or mixed beans) and a 2 tbsp of tomato puree. Cook pasta according to pack. Stick it all in an oven proof dish and top with cheese. Tastes great, and freezes...

Great idea! Adding a banana and some strawberries to mine tomorrow for breakfast :) might try adding oats at some point too...

You could heat them in a pan with a little bit of water and some sweetener to make a coulis to go on top of yoghurt and icecream...? Or add them to jelly for a twist?

Hey! Glad your first use was a success! I find it good for free quiches :) just throw a load of veg in the bottom of a tin, dollop quark on top, the cover in beaten egg. Takes about 25 mins in the oven, and is a quick and healthy snack :)

Manic day today, starting early and running around at work. At least I'm getting plenty of exercise! 17.05.12 Breakfast - 2 slices of wholemeal toast from a 400g loaf with 3 (!) poached eggs - FREE Lunch - Veg stirfry with rice, and a tablespoon of sweet chili sauce - 1 SYN Dinner -...

So I tried this last night - doesn't taste a thing like real beer! But then that's not suprising. Wasn't too bad though - after the first few sips, it's easy to get used to, and has a pleasant afternoon in the sun feel to it... will definately be having it again - especially as it's completely free!

So today I decided to give this 'scan bran' a go... Figured it couldn't hurt, and I've seen some great, tasty looking recipes (ferero rocher, I looking at you!) that use it... if I can stand it. So along with my big tuna salad, I gave it a go... 16.05.12 Breakfast - 2 slices of wholemeal toast...

Thanks Ally89! Using milk as a HEa is the best plan :)

They are really nice! Great to dip in a cuppa ;)

Speaking of starbucks... I don't drink coffee, so I was wondering what are the other drink values?? I.e. Hot chocolate, tea, tasty tasty Caramel Frappuccino® Light Blended Beverage... :)

Hey - just for additional clarification: Slimming World mag 92 Oct '11 Says that Robinsons Double Concentrate No Added Sugar drinks are free on all choices :) Enjoy!

Thanks for this, guys! Been wondering whether or not to give it a go - probably will now, although will take on board taste issues :)

Hey - I know it's a bit of a faff, but you could try homemade hummous dip and spread it on low-syn crisp breads or scan bran (1 syn a slice). Plus Quorn light bites are pretty good (only 1/2 Syn per bag) - I can just never find them in my local supermarkets!

Disaster struck this morning when my fiance used the last of the milk for his breakfast! I have none for my own, and with the cupboards bare, I had to brave food shopping on an empty stomache. Top tip: always go shopping after a meal! The damage wasn't too bad, and most of it healthy (ish!), so...
