Feel full get slim!

As the summer holiday season comes to an end, there’s no better time to re-establish healthy habits and get those weight-loss goals back on track. We’ve teamed up with Slimming World to bring you this exclusive healthy eating plan to get you off to a flying start without ever feeling deprived. What’s more, you could lose 7lb in your first two weeks.*

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 your calorie intake without any counting.

4 Free Food is at the heart of the plan. These are foods you can enjoy without weighing, measuring or counting. There are more than 350 to choose from, including fruit, veg, pasta, rice, potatoes, pulses, lean meat (and some plant-based proteins, eg 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
