Hi all, just adding my two pennorth worth, the food optomising book says.... Have between 5 & 15 syns a day, it is teling us to have them! when I first started the plan I had 15 lol, 115 a week.... and i lost weight too! but it soon slowed down probably because i was eating lots of bananas, and mullerlights, I think it was a good thing that I started off being an eat all though!!! because as soon as I stopped losing, I had quite a few choices to cut back on lol.. what I think i am trying to say is, at the start of this plan do exactly what it says on the tin, and then you will have lots of things to cut back on if you feel the need later on.. I hope this makes sense lol, I know what I mean he he!
