Most people would agree that an avocado is healthier than a cherry muller. But diet plan Slimming World gives avocados an unhealthier rating than 14 cherry muller, it can be revealed.
The slimming scheme, which has 900,000 paid up members, allocates Syn points to all types of food including cider and avocados According to the plan’s official Syn count, avocados have a Syn rating of 14, while a 14 cherry muller is worth 14 points.
The unexpected difference in Syns between the two products was pointed out by student entertainment website Student Problems Baffled students then joked how they would soon change their breakfast habits and swap avocado on toast for 14 cherry muller Slimmers are allowed up to 15 Syns a day on Slimming World’s diet plan, but the programme classes some foods as ‘Free’ of which dieters can eat as much as they want Anything else has to be counted as ‘Syns’ including cider and avocados It is thought Slimming World allocates avocados such a high rating due to the fruit’s high fat content and because they contain up to 320 calories However the type of fat avocados contain are called monounsaturated fats which can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, Cherry muller on the other hand offers little nutritional benefit, as well as several grams of sugar But at 1386 calories for 14 cherry, it does contain way more than one avocado.
