As part of my action plan to lose weight is to follow Slimming World.
I know this isn’t a suitable plan for everyone to follow but I find it works for me as long as I do it alongside exercise.
As part of slimming world you can have cheat meals.
However as I feel I can eat most of what I like within my syns allowed each day I don’t feel deprived or the need to have many cheat meals throughout the week.
I do however have a cheat meal on a Sunday, I have chosen to do this on a Sunday as this is the day I weigh.
It helps keep me on track through the week and I also feel it sets me up for the week to come.
The only other times I would have a cheat meal is if I plan to go out for a meal to celebrate something (which is not going to happen any time soon with Covid 19 still around) or if we decided to have takeaway and I just didn’t want to worry about checking what I can have off the menu within my syns.
Not every meal every Sunday is a cheat meal I just like knowing I have that option if need be. Most Sundays I will either have a cheat lunch or cheat dinner but on some rare occasions I will have both and call it a cheat day.
So what do I eat on a typical cheat Sunday
For my breakfast I may have something like toast with nutella (which is one of my favourite breakfast to have) but most weeks I just have fruit and yoghurt.
For my lunch I will have things that are high in syns or includes something that I don’t want to eat very often – KFC fake away but on a white ciabatta with chips, pizza, kebab, fish in batter, full on roast with potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, gravy, the works, etc.
I know that all of these things can also be done for low syns but sometimes I just don’t want to substitute things.
For my dinner I will have cake or ice cream, etc.
Below is what I had to eat last Sunday (24th January 2021)
Breakfast – fruit and yoghurt
Lunch – Fried egg, fried tomato and bacon sandwich on white bread with oven cooked fries.
Dinner – ice cream, fibre one chocolate brownie, mini malteser bunny, mini kitkat bunny, caramel ice cream sauce.
Snacks – choc dips pot
