Feel fabulous this season and still eat the foods you love
-
Christmas means endless social events and plenty of parties! If you’d like to lose weight and feel perfect plan for you. In fact, you could lose up to 7lb in two weeks*.
How it works
- Choose one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner every day. Feel free to repeat meals you enjoy, and you’ll find more ideas at slimmingworld.co.uk or slimming world.ie.
-
Slimming World’s eating plan, Food Optimising, is based on the scientific principles of appetite regulation, and helps members to reduce their energy intake and lose weight without ever feeling hungry or deprived. It’s based on an understanding of how a food’s nutrient content and energy density (its calories per gram) affect satiety (our sense of satisfaction and fullness).
-
Free Food is at the heart of Food Optimising. Foods that are Free include, fruit, veg, pasta, rice, potatoes, pulses, lean meat (and some plant-based proteins e.g. Quorn), fat-free dairy, fish and poultry. These are low in energy density and higher in protein and carbohydrate, which helps to satisfy the appetite and keep us feeling fuller for longer. Base your meals around Free Food (printed in bold) and, to make meals flavour some and tasty, stock your store cupboard with herbs, low-calorie cooking spray, oil-free tomato purée, seasoning, soy sauce, spices and stock cubes, most of which can be used freely to flavour meals.
