More and more 'experts' are now saying that sugar and not fat is the main cause of the growing obesity problem. If this is the case, then maybe the real reason Polly has lost more weight than her friend isn't so much because she's used fewer Syns and therefore had fewer calories, but because she used Syns on 'good' things i.e things without sugar.
(Great loss by the way Polly - well done!)
I totally agree with this - i think there is less and less of an argument surrounding 'fat' and a lot more evidence pointing towards sugar as the enemy. Personally i think using syns on 'natural' foods is the way to go, as opposed to processed. Not to mention how addictive sugar is too..
Everyone does not have big losses in their first week. A lot of people do, but a lot of people also start slowly, it bears no relation to their long term success of the plan, as things usually balance out over the following few weeks.
I completely agree with this.I'm going to add a controversial one... "Syn free" is not the same as "free food".. Just because something he has a zero / free syn value, it's not a free food.. It still should go in the syns column but with a zero next to it.. If you ate 30 muller lights and 3 packs of bachelors beef rice and nothing else then while you've still had zero syns, you've also not had any "real food"

Agrees, and worth thinking about.
