Right, I'm going to stop counting my syns as of this week. I'm loving eating the Primal way, so I'm going to stay mostly within a SW framework with a 1/3 superfree each meal but not do the syns thing.

Breakfast - Fried eggs and tinned toms -

Lunch - Bacon omelette with smoked paprika

Dinner - Lime and coconut chicken, sweet potato or BNS wedges and salad. I'm using full fat coconut milk for a million syns but you could use Kara coconut milk for a hexa if you like. http://omnom365.com/150812/

Exercise

4km bike ride
1km swim

Ooooh no syns but eating basically the Slimming World way? Good luck for this week! As always, your food looks amazing and makes me want to not be veggie....of course you'd have to either come live by me or post me frozen meals

 

[Purplebint]

I'm sticking to the 1/3 superfree, but I'm eating a lot more fats than I could cover with my syns. The Primal eating is all about cutting out processed foods, grains and legumes so no low-fat, fat-removed, 'diet' substitutes and just eating healthily really.

I'm enjoying it so far, but will come back to slimming world syns if the scales stop agreeing with me

 

[cheekychinchilla]

Sounds like a good plan. Maybe closer to Weight Watcher's new plan? My friend who does the new WW seems to have a lot more 'healthy fat' type stuff compared to SW. Lotsa luck.xx

Well done, you've done SO well Hun let me know how you get on with the primal way. I have got to the point where I can't see the wood for the trees. My head spins with all the different options, the many ways to lose weight... I just want to chill!!! X

 

[Purplebint]

Hey GinMummy! I was going to email you later about the OU stuff, will let you know about the Primal stuff too!

Hi gettingfit, I seem to be randomly picking between the two at the minute. Just reading as much info as I can and cooking what I fancy There are so many different takes on how to do it that I'll probably just forge my own path through. I found this on Pinterest yesterday which I liked a lot - The Ultimate Guide to Eating Paleo (Infographic) | Greatist

Getting back to basics and steering clear of all the processed stuff has done me the world of good though, I have so much energy!

*drinking tea with cream in it*

Sounds like a sensible approach - the problem with sw or ww is that as you at they favour diet everything which isn't actually very healthy. Real proper food even things like oil, avocado, nuts, smoothies, dried fruit that would be mega syns aren't bad foods infact all the processed crap is much worse!

Hope it works well for you. X

 

[Purplebint]

That's exactly how I've been thinking icklerockchick Thank you x

Put on some old stuff to do Zumba in this morning and realised that it was the same stuff I wore to do Race For Life last year. So I took an after pic.

Yes, that's always been my issue with SW. The use of sweetener and 'diet' food which is full of rubbish.
