  • The red day plan does not exclude vegetables - in fact you are encouraged to eat as many as possible with ALL your meals, whichever plan you're on. If you start having loads of just meat, not only is it going to cost a fortune, but it sounds as if you may stray towards the Atkins diet, which is nutritionally unsound and not at all what Slimming World is all about.

    All fruit is free on both plans, as long as it is eaten fresh or frozen, not mashed, pulped or juiced. This has nothing to do with 'changing the sugars in the fruit' but is solely down to the fact that you can consume far too much fruit without it satisfying your appetite in any way.

    is stewed fruit synned? also i love grilled bananas with yoghurt on. does grilling them make them become a syn? thanks for finding out about the pasta for me too.

    tobys_mummy - stewed fruit is synned, grilled is just heated so I believe this is free. Stewed apple and mincemeat is a HEb on a red day I believe (or both!)

    peachyest as long as you do similar each weekthen it shouldn't matter. I'm terribly superstitious and won't eat or drink a single drop from 5.30 when I leave work until I get weighed (usually at the 7.30 class). Whereas OH comes in has a glass of something, a chocolate or a satsuma and then gets weighed! :rotfl:
