Will let you know about the spiralizer Kim, but Amazon failed to deliver mine yesterday :mad: even though I have Prime!! It should come tomorrow.

If you go back to post 2 it shows you a diagram of the new SP plate.. It's 50:50 of S and P foods.

SW recommend that you only do SP for one week, after that you should add in yogurt to your daily plan to help up your calcium.. Or intersperse it with normal extra easy days so you get a balanced diet.

In your first week you can have yogurt but it's just classed as a free food not an S or P and it will "dilute" the plan - I think that's right, would love to know if I've interpreted it incorrectly.

Some info on yogurts here

Why do you recommend members only follow Extra Easy sp for a week?

When you’re following Extra Easy sp you might be consuming less calcium (because yogurt isn’t an s or p food) and less carbohydrate (because you’re not including starchy carbohydrates like potatoes, rice and pasta each day). Calcium is important for bone health, and carbohydrate is important for a good overall healthy balance. So if you decide you’d like to follow sp for more than a week we recommend you:
either build in some standard Extra Easy days
or you add one more Healthy Extra ‘a’ choice (or have one regular-size pot of any Free yogurt (flavoured or natural) or the equivalent amount of fat free fromage frais each day to make sure you’re getting enough calcium)
Alternatively, switch to more s and p foods in your regular Extra Easy days.

Hi


Could I please come in with a target of 12lb


This may be a bit over-optimistic but if I have a big push now it will motivate me for the rest of the year.


I tried the 5:2 plan a while ago and did well with it - I wasn't hungry on my fasting days at all. I had to give it up because I needed to take my meds with food and the timings didn't work for me.


I've been looking at the SP plan and decided that I will use the SP plan on two days a week to give my weight loss a boost. I can't give up my starches altogether so I will have crispbreads, potatoes and rice etc on the other five days - trying to avoid bread altogether.


I'm going to be filling in a food diary from today so that I can monitor what I'm eating.

Happy New Year all!!:A

I think that's just about right. And thanks for those links kim.


I think the 'what sort of syns with SP' debate is something that needs more explanation. It seems crazy that you could have 15 syns of, say, chocolate or wine on SP but shouldn't have a yogurt or cheese which would bump up calcium. Where's the logic in that?


Personally I don't eat yogurt as I don't like the sloppy texture. Sardines are high in calcium for anyone really concerned.


I'm wondering about how easy the 50:50 will be to achieve. Thinking about ham and pea soup, it would need a lot of added veg to be 50:50. I've put a SC of savoury mince on today. Usual recipe but left out the potatoes. I'm not sure the carrots, onions, mushrooms, garlic, tomato puree comes to 50% against the meat. I think I'll just be doing my best to have a couple of SP type days (or even meals) each week. I think what matters is that you're mindful that what's best for weightloss is Speed and Protein rather than excess carbs and free foods but that cutting them out isn't long term sustainable or even healthy.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, 2 fried eggs
L: not sure probably a football Crunchie and a Satsuma?
SW burger, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, peas, SW chips
Syns: HP sauce, maybe wine.


P.S. It's tazzy's mince recipe. Where are you??:)

As I don't have the new book, I'm not sure which foods are P foods apart from meat etc. can anyone point out the basics please? Things I might already be eating like beans, peas etc, anything else? Or where I might find out for myself?

I've looked at the plate on the 2nd post but the pics are too blurry to make out what some things are.
