Notes

The syns for the baking powder and soda are negligible at less than 0.5 syns for them both and are covered in the rounding up of syns.

Ingredients can vary greatly from brand to brand and therefore it would be impossible to give accurate information. Also double check syn values of sinned ingredients as different brands can vary.

Fill up on free food

All of our meals are based on Slimming World free foods: nutritious, everyday foods that satiate you for fewer calories, which means they’re great for weight loss. Free foods include lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, pasta, rice, potatoes, pulses, fruit, vegetables and more. And you can eat these foods freely, making them ideal for satisfying the biggest appetites.

For best results, always use Speed Food first between meals and include at least a third of a serving of Speed Food at each meal when it makes sense.

Add healthy supplements

To ensure a good balance of nutrients, consume two measured servings of milk or cheese every day – your ‘a’ Extra Healthy options. Options: 350ml skim milk or 250ml semi-skim milk; 40g reduced-fat hard cheese or 30g whole cheese; 50g mozzarella (from cow’s milk); 45g feta cheese or 35g Danish blue cheese, which can be consumed as part of a lunch or snack. Also eat a serving of wholemeal bread or cereal for breakfast every day – your ‘b’ healthy eating option. To make it easy, we’ve included your option b, Healthy Supplement, in your menu plan for each day.

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.
