changes to plans

[Nettee]

The new magazine will be in group next week - do think it will give any clues? It is marked Jan/Feb 2015.....

When SW started years ago you were only allowed three bananas a week so wouldn't surprise me if they were at limited again.

 

[pippalata]

That's crazy! Bananas are so good for you, yet refined wheat like pasta isn't and that's unlimited. Absolute madness!!

 

[Nettee]

Maybe fruit could be a healthy extra - so you would be meant to eat some but not an unlimited amount?

 

[seadie]

I think a lot of stuff you are allowed on sw is crazy. I can never get my head around the fact that mug shots are free for instance.

Mugshots, supernoodles, pasta n sauce... So much processed rubbish full of salt and sugar, and yet the humble avocado is the devil!

 

[keegan]

Very true and I had some noodles this week and there were vile ! Whatever it is I'm hoping it pulls me out of this self sabotage I'm stuck in

 

[keegan]

To be honest it will probably be a few minor tweaks but all this talk will have people through the door in january

Wrong thread

I love EE because it is so easy and it has been working great for me. But, I am nothing if not open minded so we shall see what the New Year brings.

New pack has updated syn values for takeaways and mcd's, Costa coffee etc

That's interesting. I wonder if the products have changed or if the way SW calculates syns has changed?

Exactly I'm hoping it will be a healthier version after the tweaks...no low cal stuff full of nasties and back to proper unprocessed food

 

[Loopyleanne]

Not sure it'll be totally free of processed nasty stuff, they are bringing out a range of ready meals after all. I don't mind that they are. I love cooking from scratch but find sometimes, like now when full of sinus infection and looking after my very stroppy tantrum throwing toddler, a ready meal or pasta n sauce gets me by without resorting to a takeaway. Even if I know it's still not what's best for me x

Yes that's how it was when I first joined 20+ years ago.

I agree completely - there will always be times when convenience wins, and that's absolutely natural. But the idea of a mugshot being free and fruit being rationed baffles me! It just doesn't feel right!x

I most admit I do tweak sometimes to make my diet feel more natural. I have a daily battle with myself over frylight!!!!

 

[Target140]

I'm the same with frylight! I go without I'm afraid. And I just can't bear the thought of muller lights....I'd rather pay the syns for fat free Greek yog & honey.

Don't get me wrong, I eat junk! But it has to be stuff I really like, like chocolate!

 

[keegan]

I'm seriously thinking about clean eating and limiting my carbs. I'm a total carboholic tho eeeek

I actually went from 13.10 to 10.4 in 4/5 months in 2012 by eating clean, and I plan to go back to it after Xmas. If you decide to give it a try then good luck

Yes! And pizza!

I prefer to use coconut oil to cook, but after years of SW it is sometimes hard to break away. I live in fear of everything!
