Newbie, help needed.

[Kaz2200]

Just joined slimming world online, I'm a bit confused. I'm using the planner, which plan should I be following, extra easy or sp?.

Secondly just filling in breakfast, I've had two weetabix with milk, and a packet of nims fruit crisps. The diary says I've had 9 1/2 syns already. 6 for weetabix and 3 1/2 for the apple crisps, however apples are free food and the nims have only one ingredient which is apple, so not sure how that works.

Any help appreciated.

Always start with extra easy, consider SP later if you feel ready.

2 x standard Wheatabix would be your healthy B rather than synned

Dehydrated, puréed and cooked fruit is synned because you can eat more than in its raw state. Best to use fresh or frozen whole fruit to get the most roughage and filling power

Many thanks, I may be back with more questions later!!

Already though of another, I'm am going out at the weekend, what can I drink that doesn't include slimline mixers. I would usually have wine, lager or a g & t, but I cannot bear the taste of slimline tonics.

Soda water? Don’t drink gin so don’t know if it works with it or not - but it’s likely to the the only free mixer without being slimline or diet.

I'd normally drink Diet Coke and rum or JD as spirits are lower syns. You could do Bloody Mary. There are some lower sugar wines but I can't speak from experience on those.

Ohh I'll try the soda water, I love a bloody Mary, but not everywhere does them.
