hi redmel, im sure i read somewhere in my food optimising book that you can substitute supermarket own brand for branded goods, but if its not listed as a free food or as a healthy extra then it should be counted as part of your syn allowance, at least that's how i understand it..i think!! what plan are you following ie green, EE, original?

I was just asking because of the whole berries are free and then blitzing them they have syns? saw that on another thread here. I just cook the peas and then add garlic powder and any other spices/herbs I want and a squeeze of lemon maybe olive oil (not much anymore lol) then blitz with hand blender. x

but you can call me Toni!
That only applies to fruit because of changing the sugars in them when they're mashed/blended/cooked. The same doesn't apply to veg so you can mash away and it's syn free

Managed to lose 6lb this week - VERY happy but also quite embarrassed because to be honest it really wasn't deserved. I've had a bad couple of days. I think it's because last week I weighed in the evening and noted a 4lb gain which probably wasn't very accurate due to time of day, so I hadn't really gained that much. Very happy though either way. 2 stone award.
