or blended cottage cheese.......

Made into "savoury scones". Mmmm yummy lol

 

[Mollywobbles]

RE pasta sauces I have one word that made them beyond inedible....

QUARK

I hate to admit it, but I quite like quark.
I think that because it is fat free it doesn’t upset me. But I do add garlic and herbs

I still can’t get over the ‘Heinz tomato soup dupe’ which involved blending baked beans and pickled onions, among other things. Thankfully I never made it, but it sounds like the sort of thing you’d be made to drink as part of a booze-fuelled initiation ceremony.

I know some people made lasagna toppings blending up tinned macaroni cheese. But this was way back when it was really low syn.

Anyone else remember (going back 20 years) when low fat corned beef was syn free on red days
So people were making corned beef pizza, corned beef base quiche etc

This would have been around the time I was doing it. I knew there was a reason I stuck to green days

And the madness is that a decent tin of tomato soup would probably be less calories then this crazy concoction

Someone needs to plug it into Nutracheck.

204 calories for a tin of cream of tomato

326 calories for a can of beans and you have a the other ingredients for the 'syn free' version like tinned tomatoes, pickled onions and fat free fromage frais on top

It was the carbs thing for me as well. In recovery I had to work really hard to get over the idea of having cereal for breakfast and then something on toast for lunch, for example. Yet those things keep me digestively comfortable and satisfied.

The healthy extra stuff definitely sticks with you. I still weigh 40g of porridge when calorie counting like its some sort of magic number.

Ugh I used to eat that macaroni slop because I think it was 0.5 syns a can or something silly like that. It was just chemicals.

Anyone remember these posters from group? I can’t get a clearer image but they show what you can have for 10 syns. You can either have one mini Pringle tube or 20 - yes 20! Melba toasts. Why would you choose ten miserable dry crackers over a small portion of nice crisps? It’s such an awful mindset.

Right lets dissect this: so the premise is for 10 syns you can have so much more food for the same value if you 'food optimise' and pick low syn snacks

First we have the snack created by satan the lord of syns himself

Pringles 10 syns and 210 calories

next the French Fries 2 bags for 10 syns and 156 calories so less than the pringles

Then its the ryvitas 2 bags for 10 syns and 232 calories 12 calories more than the pringles

The rest are all more calories than the pringles but equivalent or less syns

I've just done this without thinking to soak them for my breakfast tomorrow! It got to 42 and I took 2g out without really thinking why am I doing this

You have far more patience than me. Thanks for looking those up. Do ryvita minis still exist? Shudder. One of the stupidest versions of this had unlimited muller lights on the bottom tier. As if they just had no calories because they were muller shites. FFS.

I like Melba Toast. Just had some but with crushed pepper cream boursin

I swear i did that this morning i had to roll my eyes at myself

I really like Melba toast with pineapple cottage cheese on. And this is something I’ve enjoyed long before SW. I’ll let myself out

I sometimes do, but I got quite good at grabbing a handful and it being close so sometimes just do that. But then I’ll still do half milk and half water for them.

It took me until Xmas 2021 to realise avocado isn't the devil (to note I did SW in 2012). I'm doing CC now so yes it's still higher in calories but...its damn tasty

 

[anniemouse]

Slimming world really mucked up my digestive system, I was always constipated on it. Not even the Aldi Sugar Free gums could move it. I ended up obsessed with pooping and would get really upset if I hadn’t tit on weigh day
