Where do you get your extra lean mince from? Can only find lean and have to syn it

 

[africaqueen]

Pip- thank u for the recipe! sounds weird but will give it a go. lol. I had the pancakes this morn for brekky an they were suprisingly delicious!

Pink- There is a butcher near me that specialises in syn free sausauges, burgers and extra lean mince. I would imagine if u hunt around you will find similar as SW is so popular everywhere nowadays

Does anyone know if its ok to have a foo yung from the chinese?? its only rice with eggs and veg or meat but obviously cooked in some oil... Im on the EE plan xxx

 

[MrsQ]

i just get the lean mince it hasnt affected my weight loss.

Ooh does anyone knw if its ok to use around 30 of your syns in one night?? going out for a few glasses of wine with dh later and want to be sure its ok. I only had 10 syns yesterday and none today. Is it see your syns as 70 for the wk and use them accordingly or does it have to be 10 syns per day?

Thanks xxx

 

[Elli21]

They say to use between 5 and 15 syns a day.
Tanight, cos it was my gramps's birthday we had naughty dinner and a bit of cake, probably used my syns for 3 days in one.
But i wont be having ANY syns for the next 3 days to make up for it.

I would go and have a drink, but not use any syns for a couple of days after until you back to normal, if that makes sense?
So if u use 30 tonight, thats 2 days syn free.

Thats what my rep said for me to do regarding my naughty dinner tonight xx

 

[Elli21]

But on a different note, i feel really crappy now ive been naughty!! I feel like ive proper cheated and bloated!!! and i only had half the portion that my former self would have had!!

Chicken cake...do share!! Sounds weird but in a good way!!

xx

 

[MrsQ]

i wouldnty make a habit of it as i asked my consultant about this and she said your best of having a flexisyn and doing normal rest of week as if you cut back you feel deprived.

I am having my donar kebab homemade right now and its LUSH LUSH LUSH!

 

[africaqueen]

Yeah i wouldnt usually do it but me and dh have not been out for wks as he works away so its a one off really also il still have 30 syns left for the rest of the wk and thats fine for me. means i can have some choc and add some oil/mayo to my cooking ;-)

Im loving how easy this EE plan is! cnt wait to get weighed on wed an see if its worked for me

Have a good wkend ladies xxx

 

[Elli21]

No, i wont, as i know cos i know i cant have any syns, im going to want them
Ill be on this thread alot in the next few days i tell ya!! Whinging cos i want naughty food

 

[Elli21]

Have a good night africaqueen!! Have one for me xx

 

[Little_Roo]

I use to always save my syns up and use them at the weekend but was talking to consultant and they say just to use flexi syns so don't feel deprived. To be honest as long as you stick to it the rest of the time you should loose weight either way. Personaly I probably will save my syns still. Just so I don't feel guilty in my own head if you get me. Lol. Crazy I no. Teehee.. xx

 

[4magpies]

I made kipper kedgeree for tea tonight and it was lush. Totally free on extra easy aswell.

If anyone wants the recipe let me know!

[Little_Roo]

Go on.. Give us the kipper recipe xx

Well again this is isnt with exact measurements as I dont measure. You can use any kind of fish you like really. White smoked is the best though.

2 kippers
some rice cooked (i make enough for 2 people so half a mug before cooking)
mixed curry spices (i buy these in a pot from asda from the herb aisle)
onion (just the one more if you want)
garlic (one clove crushed)
boiled eggs chopped up (i use 3)
fat free fromage frais/yoghurt plain

First cook your rice & boil your eggs
Chop your egg into small pieces
Soak your kippers in boiling water for 5 minutes (if not using kippers i would bake the fish in the oven till its done enough to flake)
Remove from water & flake fish
Spay some frylite in a hot pan & cook the onions and the garlic with loads of curry spice powder (i usssssse loads but I like it like that)
Add your fish & fry for a bit longer.
Add some of the fromage frais or yoghurt I use about 100g but use as much as you fancy
Add your rice and some more spices if you want
Give it a good stir and warm through
Take off the heat & mix in your boiled eggs
EAT!

Syn free on extra easy. Not on green because of the fish or red because of the rice you would have to syn them!

Why thank you hun, she's changes soooo much since that pic. Keep meaning to put a more up to date one on. Lol.

You know you have done really well there, I had a couple of fruit ciders(12 syns total) some chock that I haven't syned yet (prob abot 9-11 at a guess, I'm turning into a chock pro. Lol. And also a tin of asda smart price beef curry (2.5). Don't know if anyone is aware but a lot of smart price stuff is really low syn in comparison with the branded stuff. Great for something quick. Lol.

Keep up the good work xx

oh luv, I know how you feel. Rubie has been having her 4 month growth sport for a while now. Total nightmare. I was dizzy and getting head aches all the time at one point as I was so exhausted. She's also teething and that doesn't help.

I slipped at one point and it was worse than peanut butter on toast I'll tell ya. Just don't fret. There's two ways you can go about it now. 1. Feel really shitty about it and pig out and really ruin it or 2. Think fair enough iv eaten it, it was great for my energy and just what I needed at the time but now back to the diet.

I did the 2nd and was supriced to find I'd still lost 2lbs that week and 15 the week after This is why we have flexi syns. Stay with it girl and if you need to talk I'm here. xx

ps. My slip was kebab on nann bread! Lol. xx

Chicken cake recipe

4 skinless chicken breasts
8 morrisons eat smart pork sausages
3 babybel lights
6 rashes of bacon

Method
1- spray some fry light in a square/rectangular oven proofdish
2-slice 2 chicken breasts in small slithers and layer the bottom of the dish.
3- remove the skin from the sausages (i just slid my knife along and skin came off easily)
4-break the sausagemeat up into little blobs and layer it over the chicken.
5-slice the babybel up small and lay randomly on top of the sausagemeat.
6-using a potatoe masher push the cheese into the sausagemeat.
7-slice the remaining 2 chicken breasts in slithers and place over the cheese/sausagemeat.
8-top with the bacon
9-cover with tin foil and cook at 200 for 2 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
10-half hour b4 cooked remove the tin foil. You will have water from the chicken pour this away and cook uncovered for 30 mins.

A lot have people have said that it doesnt need that long cooking so just keep checking it.

The morrisons eat smart sausages are half a syn each (so 4 total for the whole thing) and the babybel light can be your HEa (i think)

Sorry if you've seen this before!

 

[4magpies]

That sounds lush!!

I get syn free sausage from my butcher so I suppose I could use them free?

Think i will have a go at that this week.
