New to slimming world... two questions

[Freaking0ut]

Hi everyone,

I have signed up to SW. I need to lose two stone. In an ideal world I would lose 4.

I have two questions, a bit random and both totally different:

1. Avocados - do you syn these? I had half of one in my salad at lunch time. I just can’t believe it is 7 syns when nutritionally they are pretty good for you.

1. Anyone been to Prezzo lately? Can you recommend any good, relatively low syn dishes?

Thankyou!

Hi Freaking0ut.

Avocados are full of fat. It might be good healthy fat, but it’s fat all the same. There are 300 calories in an avocado. Best keeping away from them unless used very sparingly. Good luck with the diet. I’m afraid I’ve never eaten at Prezzo but hopefully someone will be along soon to advice you.

yes avocados are good healthy fat but if you don't want to syn it then maybe slimming world isn't for you.
I'm not being snidey but if you want to focus on healthy fats, which i think is very sensible, then keto might be a better choice than slimming world.
Slimming world will work if you stick to it - whether it is sustainable or not is another question but that could be said for many things.

Thanks both, I think I will try to eat them a bit more sparingly from now on. I’d been having half of one on my lunch salad most days which probably hasn’t been helping 😳

I eat avocado as a savvy syn that target members get. Barely ate it when on the food optimising plan.

Checkout online syns for prezzo. Usually a tomato based pasta is your best bet.

I think prezzo do those pizzas with the salad in the middle like pizza express do, about 15/16 syns usually. As for avocado, yes you are meant to syn it. I don't, but I take a lax approach to slimming world which might be why I've lost 1st 7 since January and there's people in my group who have lost about 3st in that time!

Prezzo do a light pizza which is very nice, a small pizza served with a salad. Not sure of the syns. I’m at target but haven’t been able to weigh in at ground for a while so I’ve been locked out of the website.
