Are frozen peas and sweetcorn syn-free?

[SeaSeeker]

Just that!

[SugarMiceInTheRain]

Yes

[Groovee]

Sweetcorn is free and peas are protein so classed as free too.

[SheSparkles]

Free whether fresh or frozen

[SeaSeeker]

That's good to know. I've only lost 1lb in my first week and though they might be to blame but maybe not...

[SeaSeeker]

thought they might be to blame - tsk!

[Groovee]

You may see a difference next week @SeaSeeker. Just keep on plan. If you are worried post your me is and we can help x

[SeaSeeker]

thank you @Groovee

[Chrisinthemorning]

Free but not speed I think

[FoofFighter]

Not speed no so if you've been having them a lot as your veg with meals that will be a factor.

[SeaSeeker]

So really the only truly 'free' foods are speed foods...

[Groovee]

Are you having 1/3rd speed food on your plate or were you using the peas and sweetcorn as your 1/3rd?

[SeaSeeker]

I was using the peas and sweetcorn

[Groovee]

You need to add speed then. Carrots, courgettes, peppers, mushrooms, onions, broccoli, sugar snap pea, baby corn, spinach, cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish, beetroot, pickled onions, gherkin are all examples of what you can have.

[SeaSeeker]

Thank you Groovee - fingers crossed for more than an lb next week!

[FoofFighter]

Look in your book there's a list of speed fruit and veg near the start, plus maybe have a reread of it all

[Groovee]

How did you get on this week @SeaSeeker

[SeaSeeker]

Better thanks @Groovee, another couple of lbs. I'm going away for a couple of weeks so I think I'll struggle to stick to it then but I feel much more like I know what I'm doing now so when I get back I'm knuckling down. At least I know the scales can go down

[Groovee]

Great news x

[deedee1971]

please help, I have boiled peas carrots cauli and broccoli and blitzed them for a soup. iv also added boiled potatoes and roasted chicken breast as solid items. would i need to syn this at all?

[newyearnewname18]

Deedee, as long as you haven't added any fats or thickeners (flour etc), and no skin on chicken that looks to be syn-free.

[Groovee]

Looks syn free to me unless you added gravy or oil x
