Hi

I remember a long time ago, men and under 16 yr olds could have more syns than us ladies!!

Is this still the case?

What do they suggest for a man?

thanks

Everyone has the same now 5 - 15syns per day x

 

There's a man on this board, sorry can't remember name who has more than 15 syns. His C told him to, perhaps he'll be along to the thread in case I got that wrong!

As far as I'm aware children don't have more syns but they do have more HE's.

 

I've heard this advice before - but personally stuck with the 5-15 (and when i started typically maxing at 15 a day every day).

I can understand where the advice comes from - but much preferred being on a level playing field as everyone else - no jealousies about having extra syns.

These days - i struggle to have 15syns anyhow.

Thanks everyone - thats great!

The official answer (which I think is a little unhelpful!)

Q: How many Syns can I have each day?

A: For steady weight loss most people enjoy around 5 to 15 Syns a day, though this varies with height, weight and lifestyle. Members with more than 1 or 2 stones to lose, more physically active members and men tend to lose weight safely and well on more than 10 Syns as a basic daily allowance.

 

it was me !

ive been told 22 by my C. but ive over 100lbs to lose.

i do tend to aim for 10-15 though.

i dont like being different :-(

 

I wish I could have more, if it's going by weight then I think I need about 50.

 

my C says have up to 20 syns to the men in our group

 

Gosh up to 20!! wow!! I'm growing a beard and talking deep!! hehe!!

 

some say 15 some 20 mine 22 , do they make it up as they go along then ?

 

When I first joined Slimming World about 15 years ago, the guideline was 10 sins for women and 15 sins for men (they weren't called 'syns' back then ).

Looks like it's still roughly the same, with a bit of wiggle room and consultant discretion built in to tailor the plan as neatly as possible to every individual member.
