Ok so I think I'm about to start a debate but I am really questioning my new consultant and need some answers.
4 things she said at group:
1. If you don't have a whole HE (only 200 ml of semi skimmed milk or only 3 scan bran for example) then it must be synned!!! I understand you need to have fibre and calcium for health but to punish for having 80% instead of 100% I just don't get???
2. You can't mix HE's at all (1 Alpen light and 1 Weetabix for example) or they must be synned!!! Seems silly to me - especially this example where it's exactly half and half!
3. If you don't have your 1/3 superfree with your meal you can always eat sone fruit afterwards! Doesn't this negate the whole point of filling up on superfree??? That's what my old C said.
4. You MUST have ALL your syns. I was told that I have a syn "allowance" and so have been having between anything from 2 or 3 to 9 or 10 depending on the day. I know I can have more if I want to and knowing that gives me comfort. One member said that she often scoffs down crisps and chocolate just before bed just to use up her syns - not particularly because of hunger. I find this totally against the point of SW and retraining your bad food habits. It's nice to know I CAN have chocolate or crisps but I tend to use syns in my main meals. I'll use olive oil or light mayo and syn it or I'll have an extra Krisproll on top if my HE allowance of 3. Or I'll have a 'naughty' meal one night.
Please feel free to agree or disagree or at least try and clarify as I was kind of stunned in the meeting??????
