Also, I am now tentatively back 'in the 9's' - that is 9st 13.5 lbs. Not going to tick it of my to do list just yet, until I get at least another pound off

Might set myself a challenge next week to eat only superfree or superspeed foods, to see if I can blast these last few pounds off and get myself back to target

That was my first time making the mushy pea curry. Wasn't expecting much but I was wrong, it was lovely. Just as well as it made enough for 3 night's dinner!

Thanks lovely!

Red and Green days don't have the 1/3 superfree rule that EE has (however SF is always encouraged ) and you get an extra Healthy Extra, so you have 2 HeB choices, and 1 or 2 HeA choices.

On Green days, you can eat until satisfied as much carbs as you want (rice/pasta/potatoes etc) but meat and fish are limited. They can either be synned, or used as a healthy extra choice.

On Red days, you can eat until satisfied as much meat and fish as you want, but carby foods such as rice/pasta/potatoes are limited. As an example, you can have 230g potato as a Healthy Extra B choice, but it must have the skin on to be counted as a Hex.

You still get 15 syns per day on both

And good luck on plan!

Oh thank you, you've explained that really well! I might have to give one of those days a go. The only thing confusing me is that if one one your meat etc is limited and on another your pasta etc is limited but on EE it's all free.. why don't people just do EE all the time? Although I like that you get extra healthy extras! I'm probably being thick anyway lol, I just can't get my head round it!

That mushy pea curry is nice isn't it, I've had it a few times! I normally add chicken and then have it with SW chips. Not tried putting cumin, garlic, chilli etc in it though so I'll have to try that next time x
