The Green choice offers you unlimited pasta, rice, potatoes, grains, pulses and vegetables, fruit, eggs and vegetable proteins like Quorn or tofu with double the Healthy Extra choices each day – that’s 1 or 2 ‘a’ choices and 2 ‘b’ choices. To unlimited Free Food, add measured Healthy Extra portions of meat, fish, milk, bread and cereal for extra protein, extra fibre and extra calcium. It’s superslimming, it’s super-healthy and it’s another great choice for vegetarians or people who prefer to eat less meat.

choose your Free Foods Choose freely from all the Superfree Foods and from the Green Free Foods (from page 4). No weighing, no measuring, no counting – no kidding!

If you choose white, granary or wholegrain bread, keep track of the Syns as they quickly add up.

hot tip!

If you choose a ready-made sandwich made with wholemeal bread (beware – not granary!), you can count the bread as a Healthy Extra choice and deduct 6 Syns from the Syn value of your sandwich.

Fibre-rich foods are among the most powerful appetite-satisfiers. Fibre can also help protect against many diseases and keeps your digestive system healthy. If you aren’t choosing many Free Foods with an F/f symbol then we’d advise you to choose a ‘b’ choice with an F or f. Please note, it’s important to drink plenty of fluid especially when you’re increasing your fibre intake.
