I do mainly red days-definitely less bloated,don't crave because I don't have the unstable sugar levels that carbs can cause-always have better losses when I'm doing red xx

I prefer red days. I love pasta but it doesn't love me and red days mean i can still have it but in smaller portions that my body doesn't mind.

I will only eat rice,pototoes,pasta if i go out for a meal.. i wouldnt cook them at all as i get a hard tummy lol so am i right in thinking that that you have to syn carb foods ?

 

[Emmamb]

No sorry but there's loads of red recipes and meal ideas in the recipe section
I usually have 2 weetabix (heb) topped with fruit and natural yoghurt for breakfast
Meat/fish with salad for lunch with grated cheese (hea) for lunch
Then meat n veg,bolognaise,fanta chicken etc etc for tea with potato/pasta as heb if I want.
Use my syns on Alpen light (3) or a small treat size choc bar etc x

I am really wanting to do Red days as I have been diagnosed with PCOS and advise that a low carb diet would be best for me. But meat is SO expensive and I just cant get my around not having rice, pasta or potato with a meal. Thanks for posting your food diary though as reading it has helped me get an idea of what to eat etc. Going to try a couple of red days this week! X

I struggle a bit with red days. I really want I do them mainly but sometimes hit a brick wall with what to have on the side. You can have a measured amount of potato (it's a decent amount, so don't worry!)

I really keep meaning to do the 'cauliflower rice' but never do. Thats half my problem getting round to doing /trying new things like that

Ps, if you check out Ellebears diary, up till about 3 months ago she did mainly red days and looking at her menus really helped me to get my head round it and show me it can be done

Oh yeah I know I can have them if I use them as a healthy extra or syn them it's just that I like having milk, bread and cheese as my healthy extras and keeping my syns for treats rather than rice etc. I like EE and Green as I don't have to worry about weighing anything other than healthy extras. Weighing rice and stuff feels more like a diet which (so far) slimming world hasn't. however I am having quite slow weight loss and im sure it's because of the carbs and my PCOS so I'm just gonna have to man up and cut down/out my carbs. At least I can still have bread. I do love salad and vege luckily so I can fill up on that at lunch and dinner. Gonna try a red day tomorrow and do a meal plan now for the week. Will report back lol.

Sorry for long post! Xx
