HOW IT WORKS

1 Follow the menu. Feel free to repeat any days you enjoy.

2 Slimming World's eating plan, Funding Worlds eating plan, 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 we have incorporated into 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 provide calcium, such as milk and cheese, as well as foods providing fibre and other essential minerals and nutrients. Lots of fibre has been incorporated into this plan for you.

5 In addition, choose 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 one on these days.

6 Don't forget to treat yourself! Enjoy up to two options from the snack list provided every day on page 40.
