Lisa's food diary

[Mizkirsty]

I do red and green days and try to hve two hex but it is hard some days so try if having a red day to incorporate more meat if your not a fan of dairy/bread or pasta/pots on a green!!

You don't seem to be having any syns?! Have you not included them?! Just highlighting it bc i now weightlosses can be lower of no syns at all your supposed to have between 5-10 every day!!! Xxx

We are going to try our first red day on saturday, we do eat meat but for work days and stuff the green looked easier for us.

I have had some sins but find it hard to eat something when I know its a sin, do you really loose more weight if you have sins? I know I will probably go over my allowance on friday as its my friends birthday!

Good point Mizkirsty,

I don't know about losing more weight if you have your syns (? that doesn't make sense to me but I know some people say that it's true) but I certainly think it makes this plan more sustainable and long term. So I would say to you, use them when you want to/need to and certainly try to stick to at least 5 (averaged through the week) but more like 10-15 ideally (then you can reduce them later in the journey if you want to try that). The other thing that is great is that when you use your syns, you don't need to feel guilty. That is such a great feeling to have something (like chocolate/alcohol or whatever is your fancy) and really enjoy it. I started by aiming for the lower end but now I just use them when I want to and if I go up to 15, that's fine, I just enjoy it. And if I don't, that's fine too !

Well I'm not sure 100% if you get bigger losses but from experience people do tend to get smaller losses or no loss in my group if no syns and I used flexi syns last night and was gonna have 3.5 today an my consultant told me no to make sure I had at least 5!!!
Remember the plan is to become a way of life rather than another diet!! It's not like ww where you save up syns for the end the week!!
I would def try to have 5 a day!!
For instance if your having spag Bol on a red day the mince meat is free so syn the pasta it does mean weighing it but that's how I make sure I get them in let us know how your weigh in goes!! Xxx
