Ok so not updated for a few days. I've been on plan but not been feeling to good, just really exhausted, silly Chronic Fatigue taking it's toll. Some days I can be nearly ok others I am so exhausted and in pain I either can't or don't feel like doing anything. And at the moment I feel like I am coming down with a cold.
So I have no determined that my boyfriends scales and mine weight the same so last week I did indeed lose 5lb which is very high for me, I only expect a small loss this week after that.
Was planning on going swimming today but didn't feel like it so will hopefully go later in the week, hopefully the physio is right and that will help with the pain too.
Ok so diary, few days to catch up on. (The good think I like about being Coeliac is I basically get free reign on hexb, I can sub any gluten free bread as long as it's equivalent to 5 or 6 syns, was told this by SW online when I was a member for a few months, they kindly sent me a gluten free menu too)
Sunday I did a green day (I know it's not supported by SW anymore but oh well)
B: Free Free Granola (hexb and 1.5 syns for light soya milk) and melon
L: none
T: Jacket potato, beans and cheese(hexa). Walls light ice cream (5 syns)
Snacks: Free Free Cookie (4.5 syns), cheese on toast (Hexb and a), homemade mint fudge x2 (7 syns)
Drinks: water
Monday
B: Provena museli (Hexb with milk from a), plum
L: Bacon and ketchup (05 syns) in a pitta (6 syns), banana
T:Egg foo yung with chicken, green beans and beansprouts with rice.
Snacks: homemade mint fudge x2 (7 syns), curly wurly (6 syns)
Drinks: 500ml sugar free squash, vanilla tea, peppermint tea
Today - Red Day
B:none
L: Heck chicken italia sausages (1 syn), bacon and ketchup (0.5 syns) in a gluten free pitta (hexb), banana and muller light
T: Fishermans burgers and salad, gf ciabatta (hexb), 2 laughing cow (part hexa), strawberry souffle (6?)

You can do anything with quinoa really, its a fab rice sub or couscous sub too. My fave it breakfast with it, cook it in coconut milk and top with fruit, its delicious

Best thing with PCOS is just accept whatever weight loss you get even if it's low, I did find reduced carbs help but losses tend to be slow still, if you can learn to live with only small losses and persevere you are on to a winner, I found the lighter I got the easier my PCOS was to handle (so much so my none existent periods suddenly became regular when I got to 12 and half stone), my cysts even vanished at one point.

Drinks: 1 tea (0.5 syns for light soya milk), peppermint tea, blackberry tea
And today

T: Lamb and veg biryani. Banana and muller light
Snacks: Kinder bar x2 (12), orange, 2 ham rollups (hea for laughing cow)

It is, I have a recipe on my website but I don't think I am allowed to post the link, if you search for coeliac sanctuary berry quinoa on google if should come up at top (or near too).

Sure, SW don't support them anymore as its the "old plans" but I prefer it. On red you can't have carbs, its basically meat, fish and free food (green day is the opposite, carbs and free food, (except a few certain veg which are too starchy (peas, sweetcorn are the main two I can think of off the top of my head), but 99% are still good, all your regular fruit and veg, yogurts etc. Syns work the same except if you have pasta, potatoes etc these become synned of hexb. And with red days you have 2 HEXa and 2 HExb. There is probably a thread around somewhere for the old plans which can explain better
