SLIMMING WORLD - Help me with Quorn! | Mumsnet

Hello everyone, how are we all getting on?
I was wondering if anyone else is using the slimming world eating plan as their weight loss foundation?
I've been on slimming world for two weeks and have lost 5lbs. I'm hoping to achieve my half stone award next week. I do zero excersize and eat a massive variety of foods. I do not count calories.
Slimming world works to a three tier model based on a low fat, high protein diet. The first tier of food intake is know as your 'free foods'. You can eat as much of this in a day AS YOU WANT, it is unlimited and your free foods include:
Pasta, veg, fruit, rice, eggs, pulses (beans, lentils, peas) all fresh fish and seafood, chicken, Turkey, steak, bacon, 5% or less fat mince. All meat is free food so long as all visible fat is removed. This means you can have a steak, with homemade oven chips with fried eggs if you like, every day. To fry food, you can use as much fry light cooking spray as you need. There are lots more free foods but that's just the basics.
The second tier consists of your 'healthy extras'. You have a healthy extra A & B option and you should eat one from each option every day. Healthy extra A foods include a set portion of milk OR cheese for the day. For example 175mls of whole milk with breakfast OR 40gs of grated cheddar on your free food spaghetti bolognaise.
Healthy extra B is your cereals OR bread. Have a portion of porridge oats for breakfast, or put a whole meal bread roll on your free food home made burger.
Finally, your last tier is your syns. Syns are all the stuff you want to eat, but in most diets, you can't. It works on a points basis, and you are allocated 15 syn points per day. Or you can save up your syn points all week and blow 105 on a nice takeaway and couple of beers at the weekend. I use my syns on a daily basis rather than saving them up. It helps me get through the sugar cravings. Some examples of syn points:
One Maryland chocolate chip cookie - 3 syns. Mars bar - 11.5 syns One piece of KFC chicken - 6 syns. Meringue nest - 2.5 syns (topped with a banana and fat free toffee yoghurt, and a sprinkle of cinnamon is my go to desert, love it) One tablespoon of mayo - 3.5 syns or extra light for 1 syn. Parma ham - 0.5 syns per sheet.
You get the idea, but everything that isn't either free foods or healthy extras will have a syn value. But yes, you could eat 105 syn points worth of KFC in a week if you like - and still lose weight. Obviously the more syns you use, the slower the weight loss, but they are great for when you just need to get that binge or sweet tooth out of your system. I aim for less than 40 syns a week. I had 4 cookies with my coffee last week, delicious. The following day I had half a Cadburys dairy milk bar for 6 syns.
Don't forget that you syns are included on top of your free foods, so eat as much pasta, meat, fruit etc as you like. I rarely feel hungry.
I'm not a slimming world rep by the way lol, I've only been doing this for two weeks and I can't believe the volume and variety of foods I can eat. not one salad has passed my lips in a fortnight. It's the most depressing and repetitive diet food going. I refuse to eat it. I use my cooked veg to supplement the lack of cold veg.
I've made some amazing meals that just don't taste like diet food such as - loaded potato skins with bacon, low fat cream cheese, spring onion, garlic and mushrooms. Bacon and lentil soup, creamy chicken pasta, steak dinners. I had a bqq last week and stuffed my face with chicken or prawn and veg kebabs, more steak, home made burgers, slimming world sausages and homemade oven fries. I've made free food hummus, slaw, salmon steak linguine, and a full English breakfast with everything using Quorn sausages.
