HOW IT WORKS

✱ Choose one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner every day. Feel free to repeat meals you enjoy – you’ll find more ideas at slimmingworld.co.uk or slimmingworld.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. Choose from a huge range of Free Food including, , , , , , lean (and some plant-based proteins such as plain and),, and. These foods are relatively low in energy density (calories) and highly satiating, allowing you to satisfy your appetite and feel fuller for longer without having to count, weigh or measure. Base your meals around Free Food (printed in ) and, to make meals flavoursome and tasty, stock your store cupboard with herbs, low-calorie cooking spray, oil-free tomato puree, seasoning, soy sauce, spices and stock cubes, most of which can be used freely to flavour meals.
