Our delicious 7 day Success Express menu shows just how easy it is to enjoy one third of a plate of Free Food and two thirds of super-slimming Superfree Foods, to maximise your weight loss success.
Focus on Free Food power!
Every day enjoy three Success Express meals. Each mealtime, follow the 2-to-1 plate principle: fill one third of your plate with Free Food and two thirds of your plate with super-healthy, super-satisfying Superfree Foods - giving a touch more control to help boost your weight loss. For example, have a third of a plate of jacket potato with baked beans and cottage cheese (all Free Foods) with a huge salad bursting with Superfree veggies that fills the remaining two thirds - without weighing or counting.
Choose your Healthy Extras
Every day choose once or twice from the Healthy Extra 'a' list and twice from any Healthy Extra 'b' list, weighing and measuring when needed.
You can add your Healthy Extra to meals, for example by having a sandwich made with a third of a plateful of chicken, two thirds of a plate full of salad and two slices of wholemeal bread from a small 400g loaf. Or you can enjoy your Healthy Extras between meals.
Snack on Superfree Foods
Between meals, for starters and desserts, enjoy Superfree Foods - fresh or frozen fruit and vegetables. You can also enjoy Free Foods such as eggs, fat free dairy products eg Mullerlight yogurts and vegetable proteins such as Quorn and tofu.
Enjoy 5-15 Syns
To add a touch of additional structure and help you achieve that great weight loss, with Success Express we ask you to count the higher Syn value wherever they differ. For example, a thick pork sausage has 4½ Syns on Extra Easy or Original and 7 Syns on Green. On a Success Express day, count the higher (Green) Syn value.
Key:
