With the busy summer holidays coming to a close, many of us are thinking about getting our weightloss goals back on track and setting new ones for the season ahead. We’ve teamed up with Slimming World to give you this seven-day healthy eating plan full of tasty, filling everyday meals and get you off to a great start. What’s more, you could lose up to 7lb and a dress size in just two weeks!*
HOW IT WORKS
1 Follow the menus: choose one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner every day. Repeat the days you enjoy!
2 Slimming World’s eating plan, Food Optimising, is based on the science of energy density (the calories per gram in food), of satiety (how filling a food is) and how easy a food is to overeat. It’s a simple way to cut calories without counting them and lose weight without going hungry.
3 Free Food is at the heart of the Slimming World plan. These are the foods you can enjoy without weighing, measuring or counting. There are more than 350 Free Foods to choose from, many of which are included in this plan.
4 On top of this, to ensure you’re getting a balanced and nutritious diet, you can enjoy measured amounts of foods that give you calcium, such as milk and cheese, as well as fibre and other essential minerals and nutrients. Lots of fibre is incorporated into the plan.
5 In addition, choose from two of the following each day: 350ml skimmed milk, 250ml semi-skimmed milk, 400ml plain unsweetened soya/almond milk with added calcium, 30g full-fat hard cheese or 40g reduced-fat hard cheese. Some days these have been included within your meal choices. Choose just one on these days.
6 Don’t forget to treat yourself! Enjoy up to two snacks every day from the list provided on page 49.
