Lush - take a look at the online food diary, go to HES and then it drops down into sections of what you can have then for A's and B's.

As for the Chilli, looking at the syns section for a 400g tin approx weight its between 6.5 and 11 syns.

ooh so only between 3.5-5.5 syns (approx) then as I only had a half portion of chile! not as bad as I thought.

Been told off as I haven't eaten enough today and nearly fainted on the train and at Leeds station so I'm having a dhansak and a curly wurly tonight. will flexi it across tomorrow Yay for feeling physically crud but mentally strong!

Thanks for the replies, the more I read, the more I think this could suit me.
Haven't properly started the plan although I have tried to not go too far from it, think I will start properly tomorrow.
One of the concerns I have is that I do eat a lot of bread ( burgen, soya &linseed). It's going to take some getting used to not having this for breakfAst.
Any good tips for filling breakfast would be good as I'm generally starving by about 10.30

Would I be ok snacking on a boiled egg and some fruit mid morning or is this too much? I think I'm right in thinking I wouldn't have to count or record these in any way?
Shellie, thanks for the advice, I am quite a good cook and I do cook most things from scratch, when we go out OH tends to pay as I feed him much of the week :cool:
Maman, I am the same with wine as you, I don't drink through the week but like to save it for the weekend I will try to not use syns so I can save them.

I found a good website that was a review of the diet and it seemed to outline the plan in detail so I am hoping that will be enough for me, I am sure I will be able to get an idea about syn values from you guys and elsewhere on the web.

I really need to do this, although I don't have much to lose, it's amazing how much it effects my mood, looking at your signatures makes me think I can do it 👏

Boiled eggs and fruit is free so no need to count syns for it and fine to snack on in abundance

Hello & welcome to the newbies:D

I've maintained again this week. I seem to have reached a natural pause at the moment.

beanielou

Hopefully all will be well.

Hope you feel better now?

Stress city here & eating out the window.

Just worked out that my 'flexi-syn' day is:

6 for chile (top end estimate)
6.5 for my curry
6 for a curly wurly
2 for a hot choc

so 20.5 syns for the day I'm and feeling really good about the plan now after a couple of 'can't be bothered' weeks - 1stone to target now!!
