Slimming World vs Starbucks

Jacksmum, 15 August, 2008 at 18:43 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 2

Hi everyone,

I'm back on track with SW. I lost 6 1/2 stones and have recently put most of it back on and am really mad with myself. Basically I fell off the wagon and have not been able to get my head back in gear.

My real passion is Starbucks! I'm ok with skinny lattes - using my A choice for the milk, or going for an American with a dash of skimmed milk. What I'm trying to find out is which cake/cookie/snack might have the lowest syns? I really want to use this as my 'treat'.

I'm fanatical about the Luxury Fruit Bread which I figure/kid myself may be lower than a big creamy cake, especially if I forgo the butter and just use a scraping of jam. I know they do Fruit Salad but it is silly money and I know it won't satisfy, so I'd rather save my syns every couple of days to allow a treat.

Any suggestions?!

Thanks in advance.

    Google is your friend:-

    from that list your Fruit Bread is a bit of a no-no, but from a calories perspective you'd be better off with a doughnut. Not sure how you work out your syns on SW but you have all the nutrional info on that PDF

    HTH, good luck with the new start

    If you have any idea how much the fruit bread weighs (in grams) then I can work it out for you with the online syn calculator (if you need me to that is).

    Prepare yourself though as I think it is probably over 20 syns per slice!

    Many thanks for your help. I think they are higher than I imagined - must be made with butter! Will have to exercise more self control I think!
