Healthy extra confusion

[Sparkles30]

I'm doing a shopping list ready to start on Saturday and have been looking at the food optimising book. I noticed for healthy extra b you can have Alpen light bars but it state 1 bar then underneath states 2 bars. One bar has got the s next to it for speed so does it mean you can have 2 but it then won't be classes as speed?

Exactly that. 2 is a hex b BUT if you want to maximise your losses just have one. That's how it used to be. Unless on an SP day one could be your extra hex b to protect your losses so you would have max 3 a day? How old is your copy of the book?

That's what I thought, although I was very confused at first until I saw the S. I'm not sure how old it is, I bought it on eBay and the person who had it started in August 2015 so I'm assuming they went to group and got the books new.

I just wondered if it were older and didn't have sp because then the rule as def you CAN have two but consider having one to increase losses

As said above, you can have two because they're very low calorie but one bar has enough fibre to qualify as a B. So either way is fine.

Not that the "speed" options in the B section doesn't count towards your third speed food on the plate, these need to come from the first section of the book - most fruit and veg, basically. I wish they'd picked a different name for that, as it's very confusing for newer members!
