Is it a must to have syns?

[Mary Jane]

I know you get so many syns a day and you can save some etc for weekend or special occasions such as meals

Just wondered what if you don't use any at all in a week is this ok or should I be trying to include some into my week?

Doing Sw from home so am a bit unsure xxx

Syns are there to make sure we don't feel deprived and can follow the plan in the long-term. Can you really see yourself living off free and superfree foods only for the rest of your life? The old adage is a good one - a little of what you fancy does you good! You don't have to use them on junk food either, it could be a glass of fruit juice, a bigger portion of cereal of a morning, sauces, cheese, oil, nuts, smoothie etc xx

Ace thank you. No don't worry I don't want to not never use them but just wanted to check as I've not used any this week as was supposed to go out.

But thank you for answering xxxx

On days i have low / or no syns, i have a choccie bar (specifically Aldi titan bar 55g 12.5 syn), it makes me think i could go every day without synning and scoff choc in the evening for a wind down with a cup of black coffee and tv - CBB in todays case

I have to laugh.... I have been craving a particular food for days......
Finally had it at lunch time... yum yum yum

When I finally got it I did eat quite a lot of it.... nothing like giving into a craving..... well not when its for brusell sprouts like mine lol

Can understand why you can have syns and its there to help you long term! I haven't been using my syns at all in the last 4 weeks of the diet and it hasn't affected the weight loss, I just can't stop at one!! I'm too greedy! So no syns makes me more in control!! Xxx
