Well, here's where I rebel

See, I think if I'm only going to have the one banana then I don't count any syns, because I could (and would) have eaten one banana raw.

Before I cause a stampede of people 'tweaking' the plans to suit themselves, I must say in a LOUD voice.....this is me, not SW.
I have also quite often used up the last of my HEA milk by blending it with one banana as a milkshake

Couldn't agree more Consultant! :j:j

I know you asked consultant but shes offline the now. The only superfree food is frozen and fresh fruit and vegetables.

As you said eggs, quorn and low fat yogs are just free now.

when your making the jelly up to mix with a yoghurt and make it moussy, do you make it up as directed or do you use less water?

I just wanted to tell everyone, i have had my first weigh in this morn (online) and have lost 2.5 lbs, not too bad considering i had a full bottle of wine last thursday, got very depressed and finished the whole bottle!
will try harder this next week!

I've only ever tried this once,ages ago, and it didn't go well:rotfl:

However I'm doing a big online shop today and will be trying again.This time I'll be using my hand blender to whisk it altogether so hopefully no lumps:D

Re the water thing,I'd stick to the amount advised else it would be very thick.

Perhaps someone else has made this successfully?!

I'm agreeing with you!!

The reason that cooked fruit isn't free is that it does not fill you up the way it does when raw , for example i could make apple crumble or something with say six apples I could quite happily scoff the lot. However the thought of sitting eating six apples doesn't really appeal.

Therefore my thinking is that if you are prepared to say to yourself I will cook this banana and NOT EAT ANYTHING ELSE- EVEN FREE STUFF then I think you could count it as free.

Morning all! Does anybody know how many sins a sachet of simply porridge, syrup flavour is from Asda?

Also I have just seen above that banana's are 4 syns:eek:, is that just when they are cooked??

Sprouts aren't Syns are they? I couldn't find them in the book and can't access the SW website yet as I couldn't stay at my first meeting last week so didn't get the password!

Thanks for your help:D

only when cooked are they sins but thats the same with most fruit lol
