also i have been told that on a green day you can have any cheese as a healthy extra not just those listed - you just have to work out what amount would equal 6 syns. is this true? if so 28g of mascarpone is 6 syns, 84g of ricotta is 6 syns and 28g of creme fraiche is 5.5 syns.

I've never heard of this :eek:

Why do they list HEA cheeses under the green section on the website and the book then?

i havnt heard of this id be careful and if you want to put check phone the help line or ask in class (09068518518) you dont have to go to s/w to phone to check any thing

Ricotta and marscapone are stupidly high in fat soI can't believe 6 syns worth is a HEA - its more fat than goodness. HE's must be required in some area of your intake - i.e. high in fibre, essential calcium, etc.

well just got of phone to the syn line and had a good talk with a nice lady and she said couscous cake , lasagne crips , even the crips done in the micro are not free as they are not consumed in there normal form, when making couscous cake or any grain as a flower substatute it is then syned as you consum larger amount than just eating it normaly, the same with the crips you would not eat say five jacket potatoes but when you make the crips and are sitting there at night you would keep dipping in and eating them .
Please do phone the line and ask and see , the only thing she said is if you eat them and lose weight and keep losing weight then its up to you , but if your like me and are stuck is mite be the reason

but you can eat 5 jacket potatos on a green day so why aren't they free? Maybe not on a red, but they are supposed to be unlimited on a green day?

peachyest

yes you can eat as many jackets as you like ,but what she mean you wouldnt eat five at once then say more later , and with the crips you would , do you see what i mean

Yes catt....but this is the issue I have with this diet....Sw say things are free and you can eat as much as you like of them but in reality they are foods that are low in calorific value for their weight....therefore fill you up more, so you shouldnt need to eat as much...

If you and I weighed the same and we were both on this diet and stuck to it ridgedly.....if I ate loads of food but it was completely free, but you only ate your 3 meals a day ( all free food)...then you would lose the most weight....

You are still comsuming calories even if they are free on SW...

Does that make sense?
