Extra Easy SYNS

[Sunatmar]

Hi, I'm new here, I've been doing the Extra Easy Plan. So far I've lost 15lb

Could some one tell me, are you supposed to have all your syns everyday in order to lose more weight?

At the moment, I am losing 1lb a week, would I lose more if I had all my syns?
I only seem to have about 3 or 4 with EL Mayo and maybe a Highlight chocolate drink.
Thanks

You need to have between 5-15 syns a day! I dont know wether it will make you lose more if you have more, sorry x

i would try upping them to 10 a day and see if it makes a difference

I have always been told u need your syns for this diet to work. The syn amount is 5~15 not 0~15 so that says something in itself. My friend hardly ever had hers and she doesn't lose. Basically your body needs some fat to function proper and 5~15 is just enough. Try having them n i bet u notice a difference x

Thanks to your replies. I'm just worried if I have 15 syns a day, I will end up gaining weight as I would be eating too much?

But you won't be eating too much!!! ask your consultant her opinion if u r worried. Some of my best loses have come from daily having 15!!!

Thanks will give it a try and see if it works, I know 1lb a week loss is better than a gain, but it seems to be going a bit slow, just need a bit of a boost

All u can do is try it. Don't be scared. I always have mine but i eat loads of fruit and veg to cancel out. Good luck and enjoy xx

Part of the idea of having up to 15 a day is so that you can reduce them a smidgeon when you reach a bit of a plateau.
If you don't fancy biscuits, crisps etc why not just have full fat mayo/yoghurts, cook food in oil or have extra bread/cereal.
Also, try looking to see if you can incorporate more SS foods in your menu's - that'll hopefully give the old metab a kick up the whatsit
