They are free, the actual Superfrees are listed on pages 11-13 of the handbook and are fruits and vegetables. The free Foods are listed on pages 14-20 are are the dairy stuff as above, eggs, pulses, meats etc, then the Storecupboard Staples which includes stocks, flavourings, sweeteners and dressings. Sorry to disappoint! Still, at least I had a bit of body magic leaping to my feet like that and squawking "no they're not superfree!":rotfl:

Sorry if I only seem to come out of lurkdom to argue. I read the thread regularly but post mainly when I don't understand something.

I think there's some confusion on terms: I think SW calls them free foods then speed and superspeed foods. I think superfree is a term that's just used in group (a much better term IMO).

Speed foods and Super speed foods are not only some fruits and vegetables but also some lean meats and fish. So on, for example Page 14 of free food vegetables, mushy peas are also super speed foods (SS) as well as being free. So a meal of cod, mushy peas and SW chips (assuming equal proportions) would be two thirds superspeed and one third free.

In the Food Optimising Book, the terms and symbols are explained on pages 7-9 and superfree foods is the term used to describe foods that satisfy your appetite and are also the lowest in calories which include Fresh & Frozen fruit & vegetables
Free foods are the lean meat & poultry, fish & seafood, potatoes, pulses and starchy vegetables, rice pasta & grains, eggs, fat free dairy products, vegetable proteins eg Quorn & tofu
Speed & superspeed are terms used to describe foods that SW have listed which claim to speed or super-speed weight loss when chosen regularly.
So a food listed as superfree can also be a speed or super-speed food - and then of course you get into calcium, fibre and nutrition rich foods!! So, for example, baked beans in tomato sauce are a free food, which is nutrition rich (H), help super-speed weight loss (SS) and are fibre rich (F)!:eek:

You don't eat much do you h007?! If I only had crackerbread & dairylea for dinner I'd be hungry too!

I had two mugshots for lunch today (2 hours apart though) as I was having a real munchie day! And I was still starving by the time I got home - luckily OH was in the middle of cooking it otherwise I would have reached for the BAD stuff - & sadly I've still got a lot of the Xmas treats in the house.

Anyone got a tasty, pasta salad or similar recipe - am trying to find things for work lunches that I can make a big bowl of on a weekend.

i think i was just full from brunch but now i am mega munchie.

Hi everyone,

Been back to class this week - first WI since 10 Nov, since then I have been on an all inclusive hol to egypt, had xmas wit all the parties etc so was dreading the Wi, although some may remember that I said I would take the sensible choices as much as I could (but not sure I always did) and would be grateful if I didn't gain through this time, none the less I was still dreading going back, but I am really pleased I have lost 21/2 lb throughout this time so now back on plan and will be menu planning tomorrow. Need to lose around another 2 stone, would like to do it by May.

Best wishes to all of you I have only just skimmed this thread as it is less than a week old and already huge. Hope xmas was kind to you all and 2011 will bring all you can hope for.

Schwarts Slow Cookers, Chicken in Red Wine Recipe Mix, dried, 35g sachet 6

Today's food is going to be a bit hit and miss as i'm going out with the girls

EE today...

B - 28g Special K sustain (heb) with milk (hea) banana

Cup of tea + 2 WW oat biscuits (5) 2 x clementines

L - ?? unsure as will be going out with the girls but will try and choose something SW friendly

D - ?? i know we're going TGI's tonight for my friend's birthday so will have a look at the menu to see what is the most SW friendly

There will be cocktails involved but as i am on antihistamines atm i will only be able to handle 1 and that will last me much of the evening!

After the meal the rest of the night will consist of 4 hours of dancing at a nightclub afterwards!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!
