A Taste of Slimming World

I am writing this partly because I feel for the first time in a long time that it is okay not to eat on plan every day! I have been fluctuating between 1/2 a stone loss since March and I can't push it any further. I am not going to over indulge but I am going to eat what I want if I am out for tea with friends. I am not going to punish myself over Christmas because that's what I am supposed to do. Why is everyone being so hard on themselves? I have made the decision to start from scratch in January. It is a good time to get yourself back on plan! I have put together 5 steps which I think will help me back on plan. 1. Weighing myself on 23rd December - Once I know how much I need to lose before the year ends it will make me all the more determined to go out and get it done. 2. Writing a food diary and keeping my Lifeline online up to date as much as possible. This will help because I can see what I am eating and where I am going wrong. 3. Exercising 3 times per ...

I seriously cannot believe what I am bout to tell you is only one syn! I was flicking through Instagram a few weeks ago as you do, looking for inspiration for low syn chocolate things. I have come across the answer in my scrolling!! Brace yourselves. It is home made Ferrero Rocher ® . They are extremely cheap to make too as you only need two ingredients and well, if you read my blog often enough you will know that being cheap and lazy are two things I love to include in my diet plans! So all you need is the following: 5 x Ryvita ® Original or Dary Rye Crispbreads 2 x Tablespoon of Nutella My method was to simply place the 5 Ryvita® into a plastic sadwich bag and crush them into the smallest bits possible.  In a microwavable bowl i put 2 - 3 tablespoons of Nutella into the microwave for 20 seconds just to melt it slightly.  Once that had been done I put the Ryvita ® into the bowl and mixed everything together.  I placed the mixture into to mini c...

Does anyone else find it difficult to plan for breakfast? I certainly do, especially when I know I could have that extra five, ten or even half an hour in bed. A lot of people I know take so much time prepping and let's face it, quite often we really do not want to do it. Over the past 10 months since I started slimming world, I have come up with some really quick and easy ways to manage my breakfast and not make it boring. I am also saving for a house so I really do not want to be spending all my hard earned cash on breakfast food every day. I need things I can buy in bulk and not have to spend a single penny. 1. Breakfast in a cup. If you follow me on Instagram you will know I have this a lot. It is something I found on the Slimming World website and is a life saver. It takes no more than five minutes to prep and make and I am probably being overly cautious on the time barriers here! You will need: 1 x Egg 1 x Mug 2 x Slices of wafer thin ham chopped 1 x Mushroom chopp...

Slimming World is known for having so many different items of food that you can eat with low syns or no syns at all. Often lunch time is where you find the highest syns with lots of bread, creamy sauces and carbs everywhere! I went to the gym this morning and stocked up for next week on a four items all under 3 syns each. First things first Batchelor's Pasta 'n' Sauce which if you follow me on Instagram you will know is one of my absolute go to, quick fix lunches. I think I have had it most days this week. Anyway...In the supermarket today I found these and they are only 1.5 syns. SYN HEAVEN. They are great because you don't need to add anything else other than hot water and they taste the same as the packets. They are limited in options though as there was only this flavour and the chicken and mushroom one on the shelves. The chicken and mushroom pot was also 1.5 syns. On the Slimming World Lifeline Online there is another options but maybe they haven...

I absolutely love Indian food and for the most part you can make this at home. Slimming World have an amazing Fakeaway book which is a definiate must read to stop high fat cravings. As part of my ongoing quest to update the internet with the current take away slimming world syns, here is my list of Indian faves! Indian Takeaway Syn values Chicken Bhuna – average portion – 11 Syns Chicken Biryani – average portion – 12.5 Syns Chicken Curry – average portion - 11.5 Syns Chicken Dhansak – average portion – 6.5 Syns Chicken Jalfrezi – average portion – 8.5 Syns Chicken Kashmiri – average portion – 9.5 Syns Chicken Korma – average portion – 16.5 Syns Chicken Makhani – average portion – 16.5 Syns Chicken Saag – average portion – 11 Syns Chicken Tandoori – average portion – 9 Syns Chicken Tikka Balti – average portion – 11.5 Syns Chicken Tikka Masala – average portion – 14.5 Syns Chicken Vindaloo – average portion – 8 Syns Prawn Bhuna – average portion – 10 Syns Veg...

I find it really difficult to find up to date information about Slimming World online. I think this is because all of the Forums are from between 2010 and 2014 when the 'Red and Green' days still existed. Obviously Slimming World has changed somewhat since then and it makes the new guidelines for the plan much easier however...I cannot find anything online about Take Away food. I know that Slimming World has pages for each of the most popular take aways but it doesn't really go into much detail about their syns, especially my favorite which is Thai Food. Here is a list of everything I have compiled together for a 2017 Slimming World Take Away Restaurant Syns List. As it will take some time to go through this I am going to be writing my findings in a series of posts about how you can still eat take aways on your Slimming World plan. THAI FOOD Starting with my absolute favorite. On the main Slimming World website it does suggest things like Pad Thai Jay or Kha...
