VtV's Food Diary (Taking it one day at a time!!)

[Vicky the Viking]

It's my first day on Slimming World today, and in an effort to keep on the straight and narrow I'm going to keep a food diary . It's my first SW class on Wednesday, so I've no idea whether I've got the idea of the HexA and HexB thing, but here goes:

Monday 23rd Nov (Day 1)

Breakfast
2 x Alpen Light (HeB)
satsuma

Lunch
Pasta with courgettes, onions and green beans and 4 Laughing Cow Extra Light (HeA)
satsuma

Dinner
Quorn chilli and spicy potato wedges
Muller Light

Supper
Oatso simple (6.5) plus ss milk (HeA?)

Hi there! Just passing through and thought I'd leave a comment.

On a green day you should have 2 x HEBs and can also have 2 x HEAs if you want. So you're one HEB down yesterday. Youcan also have 6 Lighing Cow Extra Light for your HEA so you're a bit short on that too.

I would also try upping your fruit and veg count and you really need to have a minimum of 5 syns every day, but trying aiming for around 10.

Good luck and hope to see you around!

Thanks for commenting on my food diary - I'm struggling to understand HeA, HeB and syn values without the SW bumpf Here's hoping tomorrow's meeting helps me shed some light on things

Is there a reason you are only having one HEA and HEB on your green days?

And if you don't mind me saying but you're hardly eating anything. I'd be chewing my hand off at the wrist if this was all i ate

 

[Vicky the Viking]

I'm full of cold at the moment, and completely off my food, so hence for the last day or so I've just been eating things because I know I should eat something! Sure my appetite will come back with a vengeance soon

With regard to HeA's and HeB's, I'm still unsure about what I can have as healthy extra's as I've still not been able to join the SW class (child care issue last week and feeling poorly this week), so erring on the side of caution
