Low-syn snacks (or calories or points or fat)

**Tatia** · 17-04-2008, 01:13 PM

Let me hear your great ideas for snacks, please.

I am eating a Hartleys low-calorie jelly at the moment, only 1/2 syn a pot. Our consultant gave some out at group on Tuesday. I'm not a huge fan of jelly but the cranberry/raspberry flavour is really nice (what I'm eating now). Sill a slight back taste of sweetener but it's not putting me off and I loathe artificial sweeteners.

Ah rats. I messed up topic title. Meant for it to read "Low syn snacks" but forgot the snacks. Can a mod fix that for me, please?

I have my own forums and am used to doing all the admin stuff myself! It's strange having to ask for help, hehe.

does the morrison's chocolate chip cookie count as a low syn snack then

what forums do you have tatia i have never joined any others as this one takes up so much of my life

I read somewhere the other day that mini milk lollies are very low in calories.

When they gave Hartly jellies out on Wed at the class I go, there was'nt enough for everyone so they had to raffle them off And I was the only one who did'nt get on

**Tatia** · 18-04-2008, 06:20 AM

When I need chocolate I have a curly wurly. They are only 6.5 syns and if I havnt had any syns all day I will allow myself one of these - but only if I havnt had any others syns at all in the day.

jelly - im not a big fan of it but might give it a try

Oooh, I forgot. After 8s are only 2 syns for each square. If you can turst yurself to have a box in th house and only eat 1 or 2 a day, you'd be okay. But they're big on flavour. mmmm...drool...after 8sssssssssssss

Nell just reminded me in another post that 30 gram bags of Ryvita minis any flavour count as a Healthy B choice. Sweet chili are really nice and helps me with my crisp cravings.

When I did SW couple of years ago I used to eat these.......

Have you tried putting them in the freezer.....takes longer to eat

I used used to put grapes in the freezer too.....they were really yummy and felt like I was eating sweeties!

Banana's in the freezer also works well.....as do yoghurts.

Thanks Tatia will try those, also got some curly wurlys in the fridge but not been tempted yet

Can i ask you as well, I have just done green days this week, but a freind whose doing SW said you should alternate the orig/green days. is that right and is that what you do?

Helen

**Tatia** · 19-04-2008, 07:11 AM

You don't have to alternate. You can do whatever days you like. I used to do green during the week and red on weekends. Now, I've done 2 weeks of straight red and lost 5 pounds. Either way should work but I think it's about finding out what is better for your own body. Whilst I love my carbs and do crave them, I need the protein from meat so it's been better for me.

This is deliciuos!

You know the raita dip you get tp go with curry, well i made my own low fat one.

Fat free natural yoghurt (pot of)
8 slices cucumber (about the thickness of a pound coin)
Teaspoon dried/fresh mint
3 Garlic cloves

Crush garlic, chop cucmber into tiny squares, add to yoghurt, then add the mint to your required taste. Great with a home made fat free spicy curry (which i have been having a few of)

also - fantastic to used as a dip for jacket wedges on a green day. (im having these tonight after my weigh in - totally free, i'll feel like im being naughty though
