Choose your symptoms
Foods and drinks that pose a risk to your weight loss, those that are high in fat or sugar, and alcohol can be consumed as a carefully calculated sin. We recommend that you plan between 5 and 15 syn in your day (see the bottom of the next page for some ideas).
Make simple changes
Choose lean meat and remove visible fat to protect against weight loss: cut white bits off bacon and skin off poultry. Use a low-fat cooking spray instead of fat or oil, replace sugar with sweetener and cream and crème fraîche with non-fat yoghurt or fresh cheese.
