Newbie to slimming world

[yorkplumber]

I started myfitnesspal on the 18th January 2011 and lost 5 stone. Wanting another 2 stone off and starting slimming world tomorrow so looking for a newbie guide.

Treat me as a complete noob. In an ideal world i am looking for 7 full days of meals so i can get started.Love pasta, hate seafood, love potato and all fruit and veg. Love all meats.

I know this is a big ask but i have some researching to do and a 7 day slimming world plan would help me loads

thanks

There is a newbie guide which explains all about how the different plans work. Alternatively, join a group for the materials and a new member talk

Look on the recipe section- pretty much everything can be adapted to be SW friendly (pizza, KFC etc).
Just make sure you get in lots of fruit and veg. X

Thank you all for your comments. I have decided that the extra easy method is the way forward for me.
2 weetabix with milk & banana for breakie.
mild cheese & broccoli bachelors pasta followed by kiwi and orange.
2 slices of warbutons wholemeal bread, tin of baked beans in tommy sauce and tomato followed by a low fat yogurt.

What would you guys think to this for my intake tomorrow?

I'd say first off, is that enough food to keep you going all day-I'd be famished!!!
Secondly, the idea of superfree food is to limit the amount of free food, therefore it needs to ideally be included in the plate, or eaten before-not after.
Thirdly, where are your syns?
Finally-you've had 2 weetabix as your HEb so you'll need to remember to syn the bread(so I guess there are a few there)

You need more super free with your lunch and dinner or for lunch eat the fruit 1st the point of super free is to fill you up on stuff that is not calorie dense.

 

[yorkplumber]

I understand the method behind the madness now! Fill up on the good stuff so u don't eat the semi- good stuff! Message received loud and clear.

So melon and fruit before breakfast.
Salad or veg with my pasta & sauce
Whole meal bread with baked beans and asparagus followed by a fat free yogurt if needed.

Add fruit/veg to snack on when I get hungry throughout the day.

[Note to self] plan meals for 1 week using the above method

Sounds ideal, but as I said in the previous post, make sure you are eating enough, and using atleast 5 syns a day

Be careful with smoothies-you need to remember to syn them-fruit is only free when it's whole, fresh or frozen. Once you puree it, it changes the make up and becomes synful!

 

[yorkplumber]

Really??? I'll keep that in mind thanks

Like I said earlier, you have to syn your smoothie, and if I remember correctly those pasta n sauces are 1/2syn-providing you replace the milk and butter-and just make them with water

 

[ermintrude]

Like Welshtigger said, you cant puree your fruit without synning it. A banana is about 5-7 syns depending how big it is and an orange not miuch less. Your smoothie is probably more than 10 syns

 

[yorkplumber]

If i eat a banana raw is it a syn? Or does it become a dyn because I blended it?

thanks
