Eight-page Slimming World special!

If your new year’s resolution to shape up hasn’t fully kicked in yet – don’t panic! Follow Slimming World’s delicious meal plan full of tasty dinners and healthy treats to help you drop a dress size in a fortnight*

How it works 1 Pick one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner a day. Feel free to repeat meals you enjoy and you’ll find more ideas at Slimmingworld.co.uk or if you join your local Slimming World group.

2 Foods printed in bold are “Free Food” you can enjoy freely to satisfy your appetite with no weighing, counting or measuring. Base meals around Free Food, like meat, fish, meat substitutes including plain tofu, Quorn, vegan

Quorn fillets and seitan, pasta, rice, potatoes, eggs, pulses, fat-free dairy, fruit, vegetables and more. And if you feel hungry between meals, snack on these foods. For the best weight-loss reach for fresh fruit and veg first.

3 As well as Free Food, stock up on herbs, low-calorie cooking spray (one calorie per spray or less), oil-free tomato purée, seasoning, soy sauce, spices and stock cubes, which can be used freely to flavour meals.

4 To help support an overall healthy balanced diet, Slimming World encourages you to enjoy measured amounts of foods that provide calcium, like milk and cheese (two portions per day), and those providing fibre, other essential minerals and healthy oils, such as wholemeal bread, high-fibre cereals, crispbreads, nuts and seeds (one portion per day). These can be enjoyed as part of your meals and where we’ve included them as such 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. Where you’re enjoying them separately in this plan: l Choose 350ml skimmed milk, 250ml semiskimmed milk or 400ml plain and unsweetened soya milk with added calcium, or opt for 30g fullfat hard cheese or 40g reduced-fat hard cheese. l Boost your fibre intake by enjoying two slices of wholemeal bread (from a small 400g loaf), a 60g wholemeal roll or pitta, 60g brown, highfibre white or multi-seed, gluten-free bread/roll, 40g plain porridge oats or 45g bran flakes.

5 Enjoy up to two treats a day from the list provided.
