3 Tips for success
1 Stay hydrated: Aim to consume 6-8 drinks a day – choose water or sugar-free drinks.
2 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.
3 For extra fibre, filling power and health benefits, try to include wholegrains such as wholemeal pasta, brown rice and wholewheat couscous where you can.
How it works
✱ Follow the menu. Feel free to repeat any meals you enjoy!
✱ 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.
✱ Free Food is at the heart of the Slimming World plan. These are foods you can enjoy without weighing, measuring or counting. There are more than 350 to choose from, many of incorporated into this plan.
✱ 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.
✱ Also, choose two from this list 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 one on these days.
✱ Don’t forget to treat yourself! Enjoy up to two options from the snack list.
