I
Hope you didn't mind me commenting it's just that I always look for Speed alternatives. I almost see free food like bananas or baked beans as a Speed opportunity missed.
My own view is that SW simply gives an easy to follow structure to a healthy diet. We eat all the essential food groups in the right balance. We do eat fats in dairy, learn meat and fish. We have carbs but balanced with fruit, veg and protein. We eat plenty of fibre whether that's in wholemeal bread or cereal or vegetables. We have treats like sugar but in limited quantities. Most of us cook from scratch but any ready meals/processed foods are the ones which aren't full of unhealthy fats and sugars or padded out with pastry or similar. The only exceptions would be for posters who have medical advice to cut out /limit certain food groups.
Love you commenting and totally agree.

That's an amazing list! Thanks for posting it. It's so easy to get into a rut. I've had tomatoes and mushrooms twice today!
In my defence I had samphire on Thursday and was delighted to learn it's Speed!:D0 -

I'm assuming by P food you mean protein. So,yes, it would be free but 'better' for you than food that's simply free like rice or potatoes. A balanced EE meal would be a third each of protein, speed and free although I'd try to go for a higher proportion of Speed, leaning towards EESP. That's because I rarely have Speed at breakfast time. Each to his (or her) own.0 -

Sorry to hear your IBS is playing up tie. Maybe the silver lining will be you won't feel like grazing.:)
Excellent willpower on the school trip saverupper.:T Advance planning is definitely the key to success. Out of sheer nosiness, what did they do in Bournemouth?
I'm out tonight and as I'll be driving, it'll be a rare Saturday without wine syns. Supper is a buffet but I'll try to stick to lean meats, avoid the quiche and then the only syns will be in some salad dressings. Plus I'll be dancing all evening so plenty of body magic. My contribution to the meal is a potato salad which has some low fat mayo and crème fraiche but a small portion won't be too bad.
Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage with HEA milk
L: veggie omelette (courgette, mushroom and tomato) with pickles
salad buffet
Syns: squirt of syrup, dressings as above
Another glorious day here.:D0 -
