Yes if you eat 5 speed or superspeed foods a day (those with a s or ss in a circle next to them on superfree, free and HEXs) this is supposed to boost your weightloss, it says about it on the slimming world page I dont think you even have to be logged in. I can give a list of speed/superspeed...

The meat portions are quite small on green and the starch portions small on red. I guess if they are combined all in one pot it doesnt notice as much, like special fried rice? Anyone got any all in one recipe ideas for green or red days? x
