If you’ve kicked off the new year eating healthily and getting fit, and are looking for a boost to keep you going, then this is the plan for you. We’ve teamed up with Slimming World to bring you a healthy eating plan, with filling foods, sweet treats and even wine!
How it works
• Choose one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner per day, and repeat meals you enjoy. Find more ideas at slimmingworld.co.uk
• Foods printed in bold are ‘Free Food’, which you can enjoy freely without needing to weigh, measure or count at all. Base your meals around Free Food, like lean meat, plain tofu and Quorn, fish, pasta, rice, potatoes, eggs, pulses, fat-free dairy, fruit, vegetables and more. For the best weight loss, go for fruit or vegetables as snacks first.
• Stock up on fat-free dressings, 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.
• To support an overall healthy diet, enjoy measured amounts of foods that provide calcium, like milk and cheese (two per day), and those providing fibre, other essential minerals and healthy oils, such as wholemeal bread, high-fibre cereals, crisp breads, nuts and seeds (one 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. Or, you may choose to use them in hot drinks, or on their own as a snack. Where you’re enjoying these foods separately:
• Choose 350ml skimmed milk, 250ml semi-skimmed milk or 400ml plain and unsweetened soya milk with added calcium, or 30g full-fat hard cheese or 40g reducedfat hard cheese. Other varieties are also available. Find out more when you join.
