What Indian Takeaway Will Be The Best For My Diet?

Losing weight can take the fun out of eating, let’s face it, we all love a good Indian takeaway every so often. I thought I would put this post together an Indian takeaway slimming world syns list to help.

Why does losing weight have to come with so much sacrifice? That’s the question I’ve found myself asking too many times.

Slimming world is one of the few plans which I know many people have been able to stick to due to less restrictions as you get your free food options.

If you find yourself with no food in the fridge and an overwhelming urge to pick up the phone and order a Indian Takeaway, fear not! In this post, we’ll cover tips on what to choose from your local Chinese in order to help you stick to your daily Syn goal – I’ve also put a helpful image together for you to keep as a reference 🙂

Here is our Indian Takeaway Slimming World Syns Blog Post

Keeping fit and healthy in shape can be difficult for everyone at times, especially when there is so much delicious food, which is easily accessible after long hard days work. It’s important to maintain a healthy weight, to ensure no health conditions arise.

Slimming World Indian Fakeaway

Sometimes we do get temptations, especially when first starting out a new weight loss plan and especially when we have busy lives. Before you go ahead and place that Indian takeaway order – take a step back and think “are there any other options?”. Unless you have already made your mind up on ordering a takeaway – in that case, scroll down to find a Slimming World Indian Takeaway Syns List.

Since being a member of the Slimming World community, I have seen some wonderful Fakeaways, that’s right a Fakeaway, basically a takeaway which you recreate in your own home with healthy oils and options. Most the time these fit well within your sun value, leaving you with Syns for other nice treats. There are lots of amazing looking recipes online. Take a look at this link with some amazing recipes.

On another note, weight loss plans can be hard to keep on top off and the only real way to monitor your eating is by recording it – whether it’s using an App on your phone or a physical food diary. Whatever method works for you, make sure you record it so that if you find you’re not losing weight, you can ask for help by your sponsor or work out yourself where you’re going wrong. There are also fridge food planners available to help you plan your meals in advance.

Mix & Match Meals

I know when we order takeaways, especially Indian or Chinese, we like to get a number of dishes and share between us all – I mean who doesn’t want to try everything. If there’s a particular option you want to go for which is high in Syn value, why not go for it but only have say a third of a portion and mix and match with other lower syn options.

It’s your personal weight loss journey!

Everyone losing weight has their own journey and ways in which works well for them. The bottom line is, weight loss only works when you make better choices. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy food or meals with friends and family.

Be kind to yourself

It’s about eating in moderation, we all have days, weekends or even weeks where we go off track and that can have a real impact on our mental health. If you are going through one of those times, don’t beat yourself up – just remember tomorrow is new day and you can get back on track. Weight loss is not something you do overnight, it’s more about lifestyle and habit changes. One thing I have learnt over the years is, the more you practice new habits, the easier they become! Keep going – you’ve got this 😀
