777 challenge- a week of 7 speed foods and 7 glasses of water (supposed to be 7 syns too, but meh!)

This is a challenge that I stumbled across on my beloved minimins.com.

The purpose of it is to speed up, or increase your weight loss in any one week. You cut your syns down to 7, drink 7 glasses of water and make sure to eat 7 speed foods.

Speed foods are highlighted by SW in the book as being low in density. Now I do not know what this means, but they supposedly speed your weightloss.

I am going to try and loosely follow this for a week, my main concern being to ensure I have 7 speed foods each day and highlighting them in my diary below:-

Day 1- 14/11/13

Breakfast:- (running late) had a banana and a cup of tea when I arrived at work (1/2 syn for the milk [red milk I might add])
Snack:- mango, kiwi, pineapple and blueberries
Lunch:- lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, boiled egg, boiled potatoes, salad cream (2 syns), mug shot (1 syn)

Snack:- edamame beans, clementines, apples
Dinner:- Quorn burger (1 syn) with 3 extra light laughing cow triangles (1/2 HeA) and mushrooms in wrap (HeB). Served with tomatoes and M&S Moroccan spiced butternut squash and couscous salad (including in very small quantities:- peppers, onion, spinach, chickpeas, raisins, pomegranate, dried apricots). DELICIOUS and only 7 syns (according to Slimming World calculator online).

Update 25/11/13: 
This challenge didn't end well. On the evening of the 6th day I went out and got hammered. I came home and stole a piece of my housemates Domino's pizza.
I put on half a pound.
I drank 3 times this week. I had the biscuit and haribo incident and the slice of pizza incident.
Maybe I'll try again another day.
I did like how I easily managed 7 or more speed foods each and every day 


UPDATE 24/4/14:
I've never actually let you guys know that I actually lost 2.5lbs the week after the 777 challenge- my biggest weekly loss to date. Thinking of trying another speedy week soon
