Not sure if this is the right forum (I wasn't too sure where to put it, so please feel free to move if necessary)
I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in June, and have taken the last few months to get my head around the fact of what I can/can't eat.
Anyway, I now feel ready to get back on the slimming world train. I am going to try and do it myself first of all, and then if need be, join online again (this worked for me last time). Thankfully, I've not put too much on (about 5lbs) but I am off to America next August and want to get down to a size 12 before I go (then each time I'd have gone I'd have dropped a dress size)
However, I wondered if anyone on the boards also had CD and would be able to offer some pointers? I get GF pasta on prescription, so I know that's a free food that I can have as much or as little as I want off. And vegetables/fruit and meats (although I only eat chicken) is as well. But where I am struggling is my HeB - I used to have Alpen light or HiFi bars which now I can't and am drawing a blank on what I could have a substitute. I am sure there are loads of options...
Also what do people do about syns? KitKats were one of my syns I used to partake in, which now I can't have... and I used to use jar sauces (ssssh it was just for convenience) which a lot of contain wheat/gluten.
Anyway, if anyone can offer any help, suggestions, or even wants to hold my hand as I learn it all again from a CD perspective I would be very grateful
Thanks
