DIET PLAN
Step into spring feeling healthier thanks to this eating plan from Slimming World. Choose from a selection of comforting meals and satisfying treats, and learn how to build healthy habits without feeling deprived. What’s more, if you follow this plan for two weeks, you could lose up to 7lbs*
How it works:
1. Follow the menu. Feel free to repeat any days you enjoy!
2. Slimming World’s eating plan, Food Optimising, is based on the science of energy density (the calories per gram in food), of satiety (how filling a food is) and how easy a food is to overeat. It’s a simple way to cut calories without counting them and lose weight without going hungry.
3. Free Food is at the heart of the Slimming World plan. These are the foods you can enjoy without weighing, measuring or counting. There are more than 350 Free Foods to choose from, many of which we have incorporated into this plan.
4. On top of this, to ensure you’re getting a balanced and nutritious diet, you can enjoy measured amounts of foods that provide calcium, like milk and cheese, as well as foods providing fibre and other essential minerals and nutrients. We’ve incorporated lots of fibre into this plan for you.
5. In addition, choose from two of the following each day: 350ml skimmed milk, 250ml semi-skimmed milk, 400ml plain unsweetened soya/almond milk with added calcium, 30g full-fat hard cheese or 40g reduced-fat hard cheese. Some days these have been included within your meal choices. Choose from one on these days.
6. Don’t forget to treat yourself! Enjoy up to two options from the snack list provided every day on page 35.
Top tips for success
● Stay hydrated: Aim to have between 6 and 8 drinks a day – choose water or sugar-free drinks.
● Don’t go it alone: Studies show Slimming World members eat more healthily than the general population, so the whole household can enjoy the same meals alongside you.
● For extra fibre, filling power and health benefits, try to include whole grains such as wholemeal pasta, brown rice and wholewheat couscous where you can.
