According to the search results, Slimming World is a weight loss program that assigns Syn values to foods that are high calorie, high fat, and/or high sugar, such as alcohol, crisps, chocolates, or everyday essentials like butter, sauce, or gravy. Any food that isnt Free Food has a Syn value attached to it, and dieters are allocated a number of Syns that they may redeem throughout the day. The basic amount of Syns that most Slimming World consultants recommend is 15 Syns a day, but the actual amount depends on gender and weight. Here is an approximate breakdown of Syns per day based on gender and weight:
-
Women:
- Up to 16 stone: up to 15 Syns a day
- Between 16 and 20 stone: up to 20 Syns a day
- Over 20 stone: up to 25 Syns a day
-
Men:
- Up to 16 stone: up to 25 Syns a day
- Between 16 and 20 stone: up to 30 Syns a day
- Over 20 stone: up to 35 Syns a day
Its worth noting that Syns are not wholly based on calories, and Slimming World keeps tight-lipped about the formula it uses to calculate Syn values. However, some theories suggest that 20 calories equate to 1 Syn, or that Syn value is calculated by adding the fat content and carb content and dividing by 5.
In summary, the number of Syns a person can have per day on Slimming World depends on their gender and weight, with most people being allocated up to 15 Syns a day.
