I am a fat whatsit and really need to lose weight. I lost a lot on Slimming World a few years ago, then did Diet Chef for a while, now I’m back on Slimming World again (there’s more choice and it’s more sustainable long-term.) So I have Diet Chef stock in the cupboard but I’m on Slimming World. Slimming World syns online and so on don’t list Diet Chef foods, so I’ve shoved the various Diet Chef foods in my cupboard through the Slimming World online syns calculator, with appropriate selection of any free food content. I thought this might prove vaguely useful to somebody else, hence this departure from my normal content on my blog.
I don’t guarantee it to be error free, the recipe may change, it’s not all the Diet Chef foods (just the ones I could stomach), don’t leave your grandma out in a gale and always make sure to shut the firebox and turn the blower on when entering a tunnel, or at the very least open the regulator all the way.
