If the colder weather has you seeking comfort and hearty meals, this healthy eating plan from Slimming World has just what you need to enjoy all your favourite autumnal eats without a fright on the scales. From seasonal breakfasts to filling dinners, there’s something for everyone. Follow the plan for two weeks and you could lose up to 7lb*.

HOW IT WORKS

1 Choose one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner every day. Feel free to repeat any meals you enjoy!

2 Slimming World’s eating plan, Food Optimising, is based on scientific evidence and is a simple way to cut calories without counting them and lose weight without going hungry.

3 It’s based on the science of energy density and satiety (how filling a food is) helping you limit calorie intake without any counting.

4 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, including, fruit, veg, pasta, rice, potatoes, pulses, lean meat (and some plant-based proteins e.g. Quorn), fat-free dairy, fish and poultry. Basing your meals around Free Food (printed in bold) will naturally limit your calorie intake and allow you to lose weight without feeling hungry.

5 To make meals extra tasty, stock your store cupboard with herbs, low-calorie cooking spray, tomato puree, seasoning, soy sauce, spices and stock cubes, most of which can be used freely to flavour meals.

6 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. Have two of the below every 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**.

7 Foods providing fibre and other essential minerals and nutrients are also included in the plan, so you can enjoy one portion of the following each day, too:

– 2 slices of wholemeal bread (from a small 400g loaf), a 60g wholemeal roll/pitta, 40g plain porridge oats, 2 wholewheat cereal biscuits, 20 whole/plain almonds or 2 level tbsp chia seeds**.

8 Aim to have between 6 and 8 drinks a day – choose water or sugar-free drinks to stay hydrated.
