Being a solid foundation for healthy eat ing, WW Flex has more than 200 zero Points foods which can be eaten in portion sizes that suit you, without counting or tracking.

A diet including plenty of zero Points foods allows you to enjoy skinless chicken or turkey breast, fish, eggs, pulses and a huge variety of fruit and vegetables without making any dent in your SmartPoint­s budget.

So go ahead and tuck into a deliciousl­y sweet piece of fruit, everything from nutrient-packed berries to sweet pineapple and melon, bananas or crunchy apples carry zero Points. You can even enjoy a tangy tinned fruit dessert if it comes in natural juice (drained) or water.

It’s the same for vegetables. Hit the vegetable aisle at the supermarke­t and fill your basket with what you fancy. You can enjoy an extremely wide variety (apart from starchy vegetables) freely. Pile your plate with a huge mixed salad or a generous portion of steamed broccoli, cauliflowe­r or cabbage. Amazingly, even peas and sweetcorn will not dent your daily SmartPoint­s allowance. Tinned vegetables are acceptable, as long as they’ve been tinned without oil or sugar (check the labels before you buy them).

You can happily cut down on starchy veg like potatoes, sweet potatoes and parsnips by stirring in a can of zero SmartPoint­s butter beans, chickpeas, lentils or split peas into soups and summer stews.

Stock your kitchen with zero Points foods so you’re never more than a few minutes away from rustling up a delicious meal or snack. And take a look at the delicious 0 SmartPoint­s recipes overleaf for inspiratio­n.
