sp days

[deli1976]

Is there anybody doing or done eesp days that would like to share recipes or how they found adjusting to that plan?. Much appreciated for any advise please

[deli1976]

Sp not really worked for me in last two weeks,-half pound each week, so doing normal ee this week will see if result are better on thursday...also to add i didnt enjoy the new hifi bar, what are your thoughts on it?

[alleypalley]

I think of SP days as being low carb, although not entirely as we're still allowed fruit, but I try not to then use my syns on things that don't have carbs in, instead I use them on things like avocado, olive oil, nuts etc.

Interesting timing I am a consultant and we had an update on this in the post today as so many members and some consultants are getting this confused. I love SP it really helps after a blow out but like Tabula said the food police aren't out to get you for eating a yogurt on an SP day. Just remember you can't syn a Free Food if you can't live without yog/banana just dont have the second B then it's a great Speedy EE day. A half syn yog will never be a better choice than a Free on EE yog that way madness lies.

Syns are totally normal on an SP day...but it's kind of cheating if you have say a mccains synned jacket potato or a synned yoghurt, because they still have a free food element to them that's neither S or P.

But, if that yoghurt means the rest of your day is SP and you're getting the results you want from it - the food police aren't going to come after you, lol.

I can't get on with SP days tbh, I find it really limiting - I don't eat meat and quorn products like sausages don't count as a P food, so I'm left with mince and chunks or pulses...or eggs with salad

I manage the odd day, but never more than that.

ANYTHING that has a syn value can be eaten on SP as your 5-15
syns - this is what I was told, and followed, and lost 3.5lbs more than a normal week by following it for 4 days.

[FoofFighter]

lots of conflicting info there, just go by what your own consultant says I guess.

[lighteningirl]

You can have syns but you can't syn a Free Food so 1/2 syn yogurt is still a yogurt so not allowed on a proper SP day

[alleypalley]

My consultant said we can still have syns on sp days, is that what others have been told?

[lighteningirl]

My fave sp meal is baked cod on a bed of puny lentils with roastedcherry tomatoes and broccoli. Veg soups are great snacks as well and I bulk them up with lentils/mixed beans

[lighteningirl]

No yogurts on SP synced or otherwise if you can't live without yogurt do ee but.boost it with sp meals. If you're getting hungry you're doing it wrong half the plate protein half the plate Speed plus 2 b choices is really filling. I do one or two days a week when I've had a naughty weekend and it usually gets me back on track, if I want a yogurt I make sure not to have the second b then it's just a nice speedy ee day.

franno1990 had a read, i also do the overnight oats but never tried it with muller, always tend to be a bit dull and go for the natural yogurt and add the sweetener
i have been eating some melon for brekkie last couple of weeks

[franno1990]

I start my SP days off with an all-day breakfast to try and fill myself up as much as possible. I wrote about it here: listsforlifeblog.com/2016/01/19/6-slimming-world-friendly-breakfasts-you-can-make-in-10-minutes/

Other than that a Shepard's pie made with swede and carrot mash goes down well later in the day.

[deli1976]

Sp sorry

[deli1976]

How is everybody finding ap when you do it? A lot in my group explains they get very hungry, i seem to be ok.

[WitchyPoos]

Sometimes I have the Greek style mullers they are half a syn arnt they, love them ones especially the lemon

[deli1976]

On sp days i have been having the greek yogurt and syning it at 0.5 each....i would keep away from mullerlight as that has no syn value.
i did 4 sp days this week, 2 normal ee days and 1 day with 1/2 of it off plan..im also on star week and i only lost 0.5 this week

[WitchyPoos]

Oh I can't go without yoghurt with my fruit on sp days, fills me up more than just having fruit. My consultant said I should be ok with just one muller light with my fruit on an sp day, given what I would have for breakfast/tea, being speed meals. So technically I have a mostly sp day lol,
Im not right keen on quark. Minging on its own with fruit even with sweetner added. I only use it for making carbonara really, use it instead of fromage frais sometimes.

Thanks maygirl, that gives me nore flexibility . I've started today

[ThedementedPenguin]

Yogurts are a no no on sp. they recommend not having them at all free or synned.
They say if you can't go without a free on is okay but for a proper sp day you shouldn't have yogurt.

[maygirl]

It's in the questions and answers bit in the extra easy sp feature.

The HeB don't need to be speed choices, but will get faster weight loss if you choose them . 1 hi fi instead of 2 for example!

[Colette]

Thanks for all the tips and the links. I think this is exactly what I need.


I'm a bit confused about heb - can you have wholemeal bread ? Or should it be a heb with sp written by it eg. ryvita (yuk)

[FoofFighter]

Ahhh I see it - that's if you do the plan long term, not applicable to odd days or weeks here and there

[FoofFighter]

have you a link for the yogurt advice? i didnt see tht?

[maygirl]

The SW website advises having a free yogurt rather than a synned one if you really want one. But better to avoid them and have quark or cottage cheese which are Protein

[maygirl]

S for Speed, P for protein, you only eat these plus healthy extras.
