Hi Stef

Thanks for your speedy reply. I have a general intolerance, but can have a little bit of hard cheese without a problem. I use alternatives such as Alpro 'yoghurts' and soya milk but I didn't know if these would be really heavy on syns. x

Your daily allowance would be 300ml of alpro soya milk. Cheese on average is around 30g for something like cheddar so you can choose one of those a day.
Small alpro soya yogurts are 2 syns each, the 500g pots are 7.5syns per pot. So there are ways you can make this work for you. When/if you sign up you will need to let your consultant know your dietary needs.

Hello to all [ especially newbies welcome to the mad house ]

Bit down today as will be Dad's Birthday on Wednesday and as the cemetery closes at 4.15 I won't be able to get there on the day [hubby doesn't finish til 6pm ] so we went today. Shed a tear or three .

Anyway WI and STS so ok with that as still not being brilliant meal wise [naughty chinese & too much chocolate ]
Which reminds me, have checked in my ancient book but double checking with you lovely people - are caburys chocolate mini rolls still 6 syns? Am slightly addicted to them

Made a big batch of carrot & lentil soup yesterday for work lunches another addiction of mine [the soup not work :rotfl:]. Plenty of super frees and super speeds in it too.

Have a super Sunday folks and Keep the Faith :A

Oh and congratulations to the proud parent this week [sorry your name escapes me, says the numpty who put Daz in the Comfort compartment instead of inside the machine ] I really do have Sometimers .

3lb off this week - really surprised, was fully expecting a gain. I do generally have my best losses just after * week and combined with my running training, I think everything balanced itself out somehow.

Hello,

I hope you can help me please. I need to lose weight, and want to lose weight so am thinking about joining Slimming World. I am allergic to milk and to artificial sweeteners, do you think I will struggle to find manage with these restrictions?

Thank you in advance.

There's very little on SW that is mandatory and even the stuff that is (Healthy Extras), you have a wide variety to choose from so you'll find something to suit your requirements. I'm lactose interolant, don't eat any soya based products and still cope fine with the dairy free options available. My current addiction for HEA is the chocolate coconut milk by Kara/Koko.

Artificial sweeteners can be completely avoided if you so choose. They're not really featured in the core of the plan, it's more relied upon by some members to have low syn sweet treats. So if you have a sweet tooth, just have a smaller portion of the real stuff to keep within syns and you'll be fine. I only have one product regularly that has them in it (fat free flavoured yogurts - find my body can digest yogurt fine) and I'm slowly phasing that out for fat free natural greek yogurt instead.
