SW must haves!

[KoKo88]

I start SW Weds due to having to come off CWP because I need a small operation. I don't want to undo all my hard work!

I'm doing an online shop this evening but have no idea what I NEED to get through the first week - any tips?

Ta!

Just adding to this!

pasta/rice.
passata! Tinned toms, tomato purée.
Make sure the bread/buns are wholemeal, it's 2 slices from a 400g loaf, 1 slice from an 800 g loaf or 60g roll.
Any milk/cheese you will want for healthy extras.

Thanks ladies! Struggling so far but I'm sure once I know what I'm doing it will be a lot easier!

You'll be fine Hun. Take a look through some of the sticky threads as they are a great help for everyone xxx

I would recommend buying the magazine as well -there is a shopping list in there plus lots of recipe ideas and the basics of the plan!

I would also add that it makes it so much easier if you do a meal planner before you shop. We usually do one for and weeks worth of teas and write down all the ingredients we need for these then add anything on such as:

Food for lunches, Salad, new pots, jackets, etc
low fat cheese,
fat free yogurts / cottage cheese
snacks such as low syn crisp (french fries, Quavers),
alpen bars,
eggs,
Sweetner,
Fruit,
tins such as tuna, sardines, beans, toms.

Some of these have probably already been mentioned but this is what I have on my list all the time so didn't want to miss anything just in case

It stops us just buying a load of food and then not knowing what to do with it and its saved us money / throwing things away as we only buy what we need for that week and all the fresh stuff gets used up.
Also check what you want to use for your HEXB, nothing worse than buying a big box of cereal thinking you can have it then realising you have to syn it!!

Good luck with SW and you op.
