Another question (sorry to bug u Kay - no rush for answer!) on Red days do we leave out the Healthy Extra B's? Just wondering if we cd have the nuts - as they're very low in carbs

Hi hun, your not bothering me, I want the questions to keep coming so your all sure about the challenge . On green/ee days you can have your hexb's, on red you have to syn them. I know in SW hexb's on red are ment to be taken, but this is a very low carb challenge and you will be getting plenty of fibre from the salads, fruit and veg, especially if you are doing The Turbo Cycle where you are eating salad twice a day. There are only 2 carb days on The Turbo Cycle. If you need more flexibility with carbs then The Get Fit cycle has more green/ee days where you can eat more of them. You can have the nuts on red, but they will have to be syned and on the green days you can have them as a hexb, hope this helps hun .

Meal Ideas SUN 29/06/2014

I normally shop from Asda. I mentioned in my thread that when I'm in a hurry I normally buy readymade salads. Most supermarkets have a fab range. If you are in a hurry and on the go you can also grab a SUBWAY SALAD too, that will be fine , just remember to syn the dressings.

The salad bowl I normally buy from Asda for £1 is their Mediterranean Salad bowl. It goes really well with chicken or fish. To go with this salad I will buy the new range from Birds Eye called Inspirations Fish Chargrilled. They look really yummy, here are some pics :-

Thanks for the great ideas Kay, those Birds eye fish inspirations look gorgeous, definitely going to have a look for them in the shops tomorrow.

You've put so much hard work into this challenge and it's not even started yet. Hope we manage to all do you proud. I'm really looking forward to getting started tomorrow now xxx

I've already planned tomorrows menu so let me know what you think -

Breakfast - Liberte yoghurt with fruit - 1 syn
Lunch - Morrisons salad bar - lettuce, cucumber, beetroot, grated carrot, tomatoes, kidney beans, feta cheese (hexa), olives (1 syn) - 1 syn
Snack - Grapes
Tea - Mediterranean salad with Birds eye fish inspirations
Snack - Sugar free jelly, mango smoothie lolly - 3.5 syns
Total - 5.5 syns

I'm not planning every day out yet because a lot of the time what I eat depends on what I fancy. Reckon I'll just be nipping to the shop after work each day to stock up, looking forward to a nice jacket potato on the 2 green/EE days though!

Have a lovely time with your sis xxxx

[Laurenypop]

I'm gonna do some shopping tomorroe as my legs are absolutely dead!! Everything hurts, muscles need to recover!!

Got plenty of fruit and bought some snack pots from £ land today so gonna chop stuff up and pot it all up for tomorrow much easier to snack on fruit when it's presented nicely!

I drink loose green tea so got plenty of that ready to infuse!

All I have planned for tomorrow is the fruit for brekkie, omelette for lunch and salmon and salad for dinner. Need to do a bit of googling to find some more ideas might syn some smash to go with dinner as I'm not in a junk food syn mood anyway!

Can I just clarify: is everything listed on the HExB lists a no-no on Red days unless Synned ie including dried/cooked fruits, EVOL etc?

Also, given that a small portion of carbs is allowed on the Green/EE days, would you recommend a suitable portion size would be the Red day HEx allowance? I'm thinking here of potato, pasta etc.

Thanks for your time on this.

 

[Crafty Girl]
