Slim down for the party season
TODAY: FABULOUS COMFORT FOOD
THERE are some winter days when only comfort food will do — and we find ourselves magnetically drawn to succulent and sustaining stews, risottos or pies after a long day at work. Yet these foods can also be laden with calories, so our enjoyment in eating them is often tempered with anxiety that they will find their way straight to our waistline or hips. But now, it’s possible to indulge in your winter favourites without guilt and still lose weight — as millions of members of Slimming World can happily testify. The Daily Mail has joined forces with Britain and Ireland’s favourite weight-loss organisation* to help you lose up to 7lb in two weeks in time for Christmas** so that you’ll be able to wear your party clothes with pride and have enough energy to see you through the festivities. Slimming World has 900,000 members and 19,000 weekly meetings — plus 50 years of experience in helping millions of slimmers worldwide lose weight, gain confidence and feel fitter than they have done for years. And the good news is that all your favourite comfort foods are very much on the menu! If you’ve been following the meal planners published in Saturday’s Weekend magazine and the Mail on Sunday, you could already be a pound or two lighter and on your way to losing half a stone and enjoying a healthier, happier Christmas. This week in the Mail, we’ve also been sharing the best-loved recipes of generations of Slimming World members who have learned how to shed unwanted pounds while savouring mouthwatering and satisfying meals. Today, in the final part of our exclusive series, we give you suggestions for warming and filling winter favourites such as creamy mushroom risotto, fish ’n’ chip pie and neeps and tatties for you to tuck into guilt-free. They’re just a taste of the delicious meals you could expect to enjoy all year round as a member of Slimming World.
Yes, this really is slimming!
* More people in the UK and Ireland choose to attend a Slimming World group each week than any other weight-loss group. ** Slimming World recommends a safe and steady weight loss of 1-2lb a week, but you may lose more in your first week.
