Hi,
Going to class has really helped me - can't do it alone although the help on here is brilliant.
Are you following extra easy? My only comment would be to try and get more superfree (veg) into your meals e.g. carrot, broccoli etc or salad. My consultant suggests 1/3 of your meal (where possible) should be superfree, or if you can't do this then have some fruit before or after. I usually try to grate veg into sauces, and have salad with pretty much everything.
Hope this helps x

do ye think i'm eating too much? i know i shouldnt but i weighed on scales at home put up 1.75 and our class has changed from a thus to a tue so i'll have 5 full days on it before i weigh

 

[giblet]

Hi,
I don't think you're eating too much - everyone on here eats different amounts, and the great thing about the plan is that you can eat until you're satisfied. I would maybe suggest having a few less syns (perhaps sticking to 15) although I know there are others who count syns on a weekly basis. I always try to stick around 10 because there are sometimes hidden syns in the day (for example I have a lot of tea and coffee with milk).
I also noticed that you synned 2 slices of wholemeal bread as 3 syns - this might be more, depending on the bread (usually 3 syns approx for 1 400g slice).
Hope this helps? i really wouldn't worry too much - the first week is a chance to get used to the plan. If you hand your food diary into your consultant they can help you to tweak things if the loss isn't as good as you hope. It might just be normal fluctuations in the week though - I can go up and down half a stone in a day!
Good luck x

was a bit allover the place today rushing all day over ate my syns again ! butter is my down fall ! which is the best mayo for the least syns and maybe i can use it instead of butter ?

 

[Tishbish]

Hellmans extra light Mayo is 1/2 syn for 2 tbls, I use this instead of butter and on salads ect. Doesn't take exactly light proper Mayo but it's not bad. Hope this helps.

Hi, if you want to keep using butter, why not try Flora extra light - it's only half a syn a tsp.
I've managed to start coping without butter now tbh - just make sure I've got something 'wet' on my toast - i.e. beans, tinned toms, runny egg.
Hope that helps x

Good luck for WI tonight

 

[giblet]

I'd second Flora extra light, it's nice
Let us know how weigh in went - sending lots of luck x
