Hi all,

First day on plan today and i'm trying to get my head round it all!

Sugar, i have 1.5tsps of sugar in my tea, does that count as a syn? If so think i'll switch to sweetners.

Also, now this sounds really really stupid..... If its syn free in the booklet, does it count as a free food?!

AND...

Mullerlight yoghurts, are there any particular kind that aren't free?

Thanks everyone!
 
Each teaspoon of sugar is 1 syn so yes switch to sweetner which is free :)
I think most mullerlights are free now with exception to to cheesecake ones which are 1 syn each .
Good luck with your journey :)
 
And yes if there's no syn value it's free :)
 
1oz of sugar is 5.5 syns, so I would definitely switch to sweetener.

I like coffee quite sweet, so I pick up some nice Canderel ones, for half the price they sell them in Asda or Tesco, from Home Bargains.
 
Thank you Lisa!

I just found a syns forum so nw know about the Muller Lights, defo getting myself some sweetners tonight.

Can I just say well done on your weight loss, what an inspiration!

Sugar is synned you'll find it at the back of your food optimising book (the syns).
I know the layered muller lights and the cheese cake ones are synned but most of the others are free. Did you join a class or online? If so you'll have access to syns online which will tell you the syns of everything :)
And all food that has no syns is classed as free food just remember to eat your third super free if your doing the extra easy plan.
Good Luck x
 
Thank you Nodge,

I only usually have 1 cuppy in the morning and maybe one coffee in the afternoon but will defo be still be picking up some Canderel.

Thankyou hunni proof it does work ;)
Good luck with it all xxx
 
Morrisons own brand sweetener (with the yellow top) is just as nice as Canderel and half the price for the same amount (its actually £1 at the moment).

When I first switched to the plan last year I didn't think I would get use to sweetener in coffee but after a week it stops tasting 'wrong' and didn't bother me. Now I find that sugar is too sweet for me in hot drinks.
