As anyone who follows the Slimming World diet plan will know, finding ways of adapting popular takeaway dishes to become "low-syn" versions is all part of the fun. And now a new product from Slimming World can help you do exactly that, with the launch of its own range of sausage patties.
Because, as we have discovered, you can use these sausage burgers to make an extremely convincing dupe of McDonald's double sausage and egg McMuffins. And the best thing is, if you're savvy you can make a breakfast muffin with them to be entirely syn-free.
"Syn" points are a way of adding up higher calorie and fat foods on the Slimming World plan to allow you to still have the odd "treat" food, while effectively managing your weight loss. The concept is based around eating as many "free foods" as possible, that's things like meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, to maximise your weight loss while eating healthily.
