On The Way Back
Full Member
I have read the sticky threads for beginners etc., But (always one of those)I have a few questions and thoughts.
I have followed the plan 100% and yes I have lost but not what I feel I deserve.
My weighloss is slowing down so rapidly and I have not even lost the weight I put on after Xmas(yes after) That is how crazy I am.
Ok so my questions are:-
Can you eat too much fruit ( Currently have 5 to 6 pieces a day)?
I read that an apple can be 100cals.
I know the 1/3 superfree etc. is to hinder you having too much free food on your plate , and that is why you don't need to count or weigh it.
But if my breakast is weighed and milk measured can I omit the fruit at breakfast time? I eat loads and loads of veg with my evening meal (again possiably too much).
My lunch is usually soup(SW recipe and has loads of veg in it -good and chunky too).I sometimes also take and count scran bran with my soup.Followed by 2 pieces of fruit.
I tend to reach for a piece of fruit when I would normally at times of boredom or stress had a sweetie, choc or bread cake etc. Should i also try to cut this out and have 2 set snacks and once they are done they are done?
I have up till now used my syns for sugar in my coffee and my porridge.The ocassional level tsp of low fat marg in my mash, activia yoghurts and condiments that must be counted -bisto sweet chilli sauce.On average I use between 5-12 syns a day. 12 being a bad day. Most days about 8.
Do you think I should start using more and making not so "healthy choices" by saving them for choc etc.
I am not a drinker unless I am invited somewhere, wedding or a party and those weeks I have saved all my syns apart from one or 2 a day.
Apologises for the long post. But one last question:-
As it is aobut 1/3 of the plate etc.etc.
What size of dinner plate do you all use?
I am currently using a 27cm / 10 1/2 "plate.
Thinking of getting a smaller one. No not a tea plate but a smaller one.
Though again my meals are all SW recipes and I divide them in four or whatever the serving is and freeze them individually , so if I then add Super free it should be ok.
Think I maybe need to start weigh my superfree??????
