Can someone explain it please?

[ojasastarter]

I’m trying to decide if slimming world is for me- can someone explain basically what is a syn and what is syn free - am I right in thinking syn free is unlimited?

Also if I want to loose a stone and a half ish what would my syn allowance be?

Everyone gets 5-15 syns per day.

Pasta, fruit and veg, potatoes most meat, fat free yoghurt are free.

You also get a dairy and fibre allowance each day.

I'd recommend it personally. It's pretty simple once you get going and learn what you can/can't do.

Your syns are things like oil, crisps, biscuits.

You'll only weigh your healthy extras which are your fibre and calcium intake.

Speed foods are certain fruits and veg, but not all of them. The rest of them are free along with certain nests, fish, pasta, rice, noodles, potatoes.

You aim to have 1/3rd speed on your plate to reduce your portions of other things. If you aren't clear ask questions. We've all been New to the plan.

Slimming world ladies..could you advise how many syns there are in butter or margarine.i use Bertolli with a touch of butter usually.cheers

@passtheloveon

Bertolli with Butter spread is...
7.5 Syns for 25g
4.5 Syns for a Level Tbsp
1.5 Syns for a Level Tsp

@passtheloveon you could use flora Light 0.5 syn per teaspoon or flora spread ultra light 1.5 syn per tablespoon.
