Slimming World Support Thread

I dont feel guilty at all, I feel good knowing that I'm eating good food and making positive changes to my lifestyle.

I decided in the end that I will be having all my HE's today!

This is only my 3rd day of the plan proper so I hope this sounds alright for a red day?

Breakfast - mushrooms, quorn sausages and eggs fried in frylight
Lunch - Bowl of grapes and melon pieces with mullerlight yoghurt on top, plus a cereal bar
Dinner - Chicken wrapped in bacon with a few small potatoes and tonnes of mixed veg

Syns - low fat ice cream, options sachet and a piece of shortbread.

Almost forgot, I had cheese with the mushrooms this morning and am also having skimmed milk in tea during the day to make sure I get my HEA's

How does that sound?

Does anyone know how many syns are in a Whisper bar? I dont have access to the website and its no listed in the food optimising book, thanks.

Also I love Mullerlight yoghurts but cant justify the expense of them at the moment, can you substitute them with other low fat yoghurts like Tescos own ones?

A Wispa bar is 11 syns I think as I looked it up a couple of days ago as I could not resist

Does anyone have a good recipe for tuna fishcakes, so that I can have them on a green day and have tuna as a HEB I was thinking potato sweetcorn, tin of tuna and lemon juice. But I dont have any eggs and not sure of the quantities so they bind together. tia

I do these:

400g cold mashed potato
small can tuna, drained
1/2 small red onion - finely chopped
75g frozen peas (defrosted!)
1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (any)
1/2 tsp mild curry powder

I guess there is no reason why you couldn't swap sweetcorn for peas, but these are yummy, and the tiny amount of curry power makes them totally yummy

I'm sure I was told at my class that if you miss any of your HEA/B's for the day that the ones you've eaten would be classed as syn values (poss 6 or 7?). quote]

Does anyone know if this is the case?

I can not drink milk and often dont feel like lots of cheese....any advice would be appreciated

thanks for that am just about to make them, they sound lush. I was just worried about them binding together as all recipes i found had an egg in them.. Ill let you know how they were.

I have made these many times (for my daughter who loves them) and they hold together just fine I think the trick is to use COLD mashed potato.

They also freeze brilliantly if you make more than you need.

You may need to tinker with the amount of tuna to use your whole HB, but (I think!) a small can after draining is about 2 HB's, so if that is right, this would make enough for 2 people.

I have never heard this before, but that doesn't mean its not true

You only need to have one HA a day - so that would only be a small amount of cheese. Are there any milk 'alternatives' that count as an HA(rice/goats/sheep/lactofree/soya milk etc) that would be suitable for you?
