HOW IT WORKS

1 Pick one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner every day. Feel free to repeat meals you enjoy. You’ll find more recipe ideas at www.slimmingworld.co.uk, or when you join your local Slimming World group.

2 Foods printed in bold are Free Food, which you can enjoy freely to satisfy your appetite, with no weighing, counting or measuring. Base meals around Free Food, like veg, pasta, lean meat, fish, rice, potatoes, fatfree dairy, eggs and more. If you feel hungry between meals, snack on fresh fruit, veg crudités and fat-free natural yoghurt.

3 As well as Free Food, stock up on fat-free salad dressings, stock, herbs, oil-free passata, tomato purée, soy sauce and spices, which can be used freely to flavour meals.

4 To make sure you’re enjoying a balanced diet, Slimming World encourages you to eat measured amounts of foods that are high in calcium, like milk and cheese, and full of fibre, such as wholemeal bread, nuts and crispbreads. These can be enjoyed as part of your meals, and where we’ve included them in this plan, we’ve given specific measurements. Alternatively, you may choose to use them in hot drinks, or on their own as a snack. Just remember to only stick to one portion of calcium and one portion of fibre each day. Where you’re enjoying them separately:

● Choose 350ml skimmed or 250ml semiskimmed milk, or 400ml of unsweetened plain soya milk, or 30g of full-fat hard cheese, or 40g reduced-fat hard cheese.

● Boost fibre intake by enjoying two slices of wholemeal bread or a 60g wholemeal roll.

5 Treat yourself. Enjoy up to two treats from the list provided every day.
