🥘 SLIM ON A BUDGET 💰

At Slimming World, we have a deep understanding of the psychology of slimming and our NHS-backed eating plan is based on more than 50 years of experience, expertise and science. If you’d like to slim on a budget, our top tips will help you develop healthier habits.

✅ Eat smart - Base your meals around staples like fruit and veg, pasta, rice and potatoes – they won’t break the bank and you can eat them freely when you’re Food Optimising.
✅ Shop savvy - Choose less expensive types of meat and poultry, like skinless chicken thighs and lean mince (5% fat or less), and frozen or canned veg instead of fresh.
✅ Understand your emotions - Does stress or life in general make you reach for high calorie food? Keep healthy options close to hand, ready for those occasions
The best source of tips, ideas and help is your local Slimming World group. There’s so much support each week.

🥳 FRIDAY FEELING 🥳

If nothing gives you that Friday feeling more than a trip to the chippy, you’ll want to dive into our slimming-friendly recipe. Ashleigh from our social media team has already put it at the top of her favourites list.

She says: “I loved how easy this was to make and it tasted so fresh 😍! If you don’t have any beer in the house – don’t worry, I think it would taste just as great without 😊. Plus, because it’s so low in Syns, it meant I was able to enjoy it with ketchup and mint sauce 💕.”

😍 TASTE SENSATION 😍

It’s hard to believe that a big bowl of penne or spaghetti can be Free on Slimming World – yet it’s true, pasta is one of the Free Foods that our members can enjoy to their hearts’ content, without any need to weigh, measure or count.
This delicious vegetarian dish is so easy, too. You could serve it with a big salad or your favourite veg for a tasty weeknight dinner (with leftovers for the next day’s lunch, if there are any!). We’ve jazzed up our baked feta pasta recipe with onion, garlic, thyme and fresh basil, but if you have the key ingredients of feta cheese, tomatoes and pasta, then you’re good to go…

Dig into a filling dish that’s packed with tangy cheese and sweet, juicy tomatoes – it’s a ‘couldn’t be simpler’ taste sensation!

⭐️ SNACK ATTACK ⭐️

Snacking can be a struggle for many slimmers. When the urge to snack strikes, it can be tempting to reach for biscuits, crisps, cakes and other common trigger foods that you’d prefer to swerve 💕

The Slimming World Food Optimising plan is packed full of filling foods that you can eat freely – including pasta and potatoes – meaning that mealtimes are more satisfying and you’re less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks 🥰

💕 BELIEVE IN YOU BECAUSE WE DO 💕

Slimming isn’t about becoming a ‘new you’ – the ‘old you’ is pretty fantastic for deciding to take positive action to feel happier and healthier! 🙌🏻

At Slimming World we recognise that being kind to ourselves, at all stages of our weight loss journeys, is key to success. So you’ll never find any judgement in our groups, and you’ll never feel like you’re being deprived of anything when you follow our plan 🥰

If you feel like anxiety around change is holding you back, looking at your core reasons could help. In group, we encourage members to think about those deeper reasons – which can boost motivation when it’s most needed 💪🏼
