It always confuses and worries me slightly when people say they dont want to eat their syns, that they have no desire to have them.
Surely the reason why we are all here is that at some point in our lives we have over eaten on the wrong type of food to the extent that it has made us overweight. There is no shame in that, its just the way it is.
When someone starts on slimming world and then says they dont want to eat any chocolate, or crisps or biscuits or cakes at all, or any full fat sausages, or any real chips, or any pies or anything - it makes me wonder - if you dont want to eat those things now, how on earth did you manage to become overweight in the first place???
If that's the case the following the recommended serving sizes on things like pasta, rice and other free foods might be a good idea. Don't let it get you down - you're doing really well!
You won't find one becauseI'd like advice on portion size too. I can't find any recommended portion sizes in the book for free foods. Can you point me in the right direction?
But the operative bit is "eat until you are full".Free foods are called free because you can have as much as you want without feeling guilty. No measuring, no weight - just eat until you're full.
Mushrooms are a great idea I don't know why I didn't think of that. Oh and hiding vegetables FTW, I love my blender. I just whizz up all the vegetables I've satueed with chopped tomatoes, use half of it in sauce (which is lush) and half of it the next day watered down as a soup. Which is scrummy and completely free
I have always been told that i ave to syn veggies and fruit if i blend them or cook them. Have i been told wrong?
