[AngelUK]

ooh that sounds lovely and simple! I will definitely try those, thank you

 

[loeylo]

Trying them!

I made kale crisps. Those count as speed, right? Its just kale laid on a baking tray with fry light and seasoning and done in the oven.

 

[AngelUK]

ooh what a good idea! No idea though if it would be ok cause I know that you need to syn potato crisps since they don't fill you like a proper potato. better ask. But I am going to try those too! Thanks

I wasn't sure because kale is speed whereas potato isn't

 

[AngelUK]

Yeah I know but then fruits are speed and when they are baked they have to be synned. I never quite got the whole idea there to be honest

 

[topsy]

ohhhhh kale crisps xxxx

 

[loeylo]

Yeah I know but then fruits are speed and when they are baked they have to be synned. I never quite got the whole idea there to be honest

But other vegetables can be baked and still be speed, like broccoli or onion etc.

I think with fruit it is because of the higher sugar content and it breaks down the fibre so it is easier to overeat.

You might be right. I am going to ask the consultant. If it is free Ill be all over it!

Another 1.5lb off this week.

Regarding the crisps, I think they are classed as a tweak. If you are having them as part of a meal then they'll be free/speed but if you are snacking on them, you are supposed to syn them. If you're not having loads every day, I personally wouldn't bother synning them but some people stay away from tweaks.

 

[AngelUK]

Well done Lindsey

Yeah that is what my consultant said too. I have been wary of tweaks but I suppose a few here and there would not matter.
