Pinch of Nom

[Roythehat]

I’ve recently discovered the Pinch of Nom site and have made quite a few of the ‘syn free’ recipes on there. Delicious and also low sugar. Has anyone else found that the recipes work quite well for someone with T2?

I had not heard of it, but have just had a look - seems to be aimed at those doing SW or WW. The "syn free" recipe I looked at gave the calories, but not the carb content. Remember it is carbs that matter, not just sugar.
Did you test before and after eating the ones you tried? Only way you will find out if they work for you!

I loved pinch of nom before last week. I’ve been doing slimming world. However I’ve been looking and they can be heavily carb based. Loads of recipes some low carbs. Maybe tweak some recipes. X

I found nothing on the 'pinch of nom' site which might be useful for my way of eating - I don't think they quite get it.

Erm...what is Syn that you have to be free of? To say nothing of Nom. All the recipes look carb laden to me, but maybe I’m missing something.

Erm...what is Syn that you have to be free of?

I thought "Google will know that!" - but no! I had to find my way to, of all places, The Sun's website.

Apparently, it means "Synergy".

So now you're as clued up on them as I am!

I think it's Slimming World's misspelling of sin!

As for nom, I have seen posts on here saying "nom, nom, nom" - presume it's equivalent to "yum, yum"?

I commented that they are not low carb - got a reply that I should get advice on diabetes from slimming world consultants, also from health care doctors and nurses - anything more doomed to failure I can't really imagine.

From my experience slimming world isn't the best for diabetics. And most of the consultants dont have the knowledge to advise you on the impact to diabetes. However I would say its better than most peoples diets, so if it helps you to improve on ours, and is a good starting point for you then why not.

I have pinch of Nom ( quick and easy)it counts the carbs out for you for each meal the calorie content and alternative suggestions like swap rice for cauliflower rice for example.

Excellent books.
I use the Everyday Light - Pinch Of Nom book.
Some brilliant swop outs on normal calorie heavy recipes that work really well.
Quite a few vegetarian recipes there as well.
