I don't agree with syning puréed fruit!

[MsRamone]

So I can sit and eat a pack of apples, strawberrys and grapes and it's free. Stick it in a blender with a bit of milk to make a healthy smoothie and it's like a million syns??
How can that be? It's the exact same thing! I'm going to ignore this rule because I think it's stupid! Anyone else??

I understand about smoothies because it is too easy to down loads in one go.

However I do not understand why fruit canned in juice is synned even if you leave the juice. How is it different to fresh or frozen fruit?

It's cooked by canning it and the juice is extra added juice not it's own juice anyway.

I happen to agree with you on this because I used to love smoothies and I knew that shop brought ones would have syns but surely a home made one wouldn't. My consultant said it was because it was a tweak but after explaining that I just eat the exact same amount of fruit I would have blended for breakfast anyway it's not like I was putting in loads extra she seemed to not have an answer so I've been doing it and not counting the fruit as syns and haven't had any changes in terms of gains or losses, so with my body it's fine. Maybe try it out for two weeks or so and see if there are any changes then decide if you should continue or stick to the written plan xx

I absolutely agree 100% see processed bread put into a freezer lowers the calories and sugar contents, the diabetic team told my mum that, so if that happens with bread surly fruit is the same, and it's really daft because your blitzing the fruit in your mouth when you chew it up, so it's exactly the same, ignore it as I have cause I'm still losing weight

Because it’s not just about calories. It’s about all the nutrients (blending ruins a lot) how much you eat and how “full they make you”.

SW isn’t just going by calorie deficit. If you would prefer do that then it’s a different kind of diet and you can’t eat unlimited pasta or potatoes which I love SW for
