BODY MAGIC - Free Walking Videos

Body Magic is the exercise part of slimming world. The first step is 15 mins 3 times a week ( it must be 3 separate times - not 45 mins at once - and something that you don't normally do). Even if its walking round the block, getting off the bus one stop earlier, playing on the wii fit or doing a bit of an exercise dvd. you must continue this for 4 weeks and then you have achieved the bronze standard of Body Magic :)

For the first four weeks i'm going to focus on walking and also do the following free exercise videos on youtube. They are light walking that i find not too vigorous and you end up walking 1 miles in 10 minutes without realising it (no space needed its all on the spot)This is the one i have tried so far that i can recommend:

Yummie HEB bars




2 (YES TWO!!) OF ANY ALPEN LIGHT BARS =  A HEB CHOICE


THEY ARE REALLY NICE FOR WHEN YOU ARE CRAVING SOMETHING SWEET AND COME IN 5 DIFFERENT FLAVOURS:


APPLE & SULTANA, CHOCOLATE & FUDGE, CHOCOLATE & ORANGE (THE BEST ONE IMO), DOUBLE CHOCOLATE AND SUMMER FRUITS.


IDEAL FOR IF YOU ARE ON A GREEN/RED DAY AND YOU HAVE YOUR HEB1 CEREAL IN THE MORNING AND DONT HAVE BREAD AT LUNCH OR FRUIT FOR BREAKFAST AND BREAD AT LUNCH AND THEN YOU HAVE A HEB2 LEFT OVER. JUST MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP THE LIGHT VERSIONS OF ALPEN CEREAL BARS AND NOT STANDARD ALPEN CEREAL BARS.

Tomato Puree = Syns

I have just found out tomato puree is syned and  that most people, instead of cooking with chopped tomatoes (free) and adding tomato puree (syns), use Passata as is a thicker consistency and their is no need to use tomato puree. 29p from asda and they also do a smartprice one for 25p.

Low Syn Coleslaw

Really simple low syn coleslaw as pre-made coleslaws can be very high in syns!!

Asda sells ASDA Smartprice Coleslaw Mix (160g)  in the fresh prepared salad/veg section for only 50p.

mix as much as you want with 2 tablespoons of
Asda/Hellmans/Heinz Extra Light Mayonnaise and its only 1 syn!!!





Note that if you use any other type of mayo that isnt extra light it will be more syns.
