Swapping late-night takeaways for homemade fakeaways helped Whitley lose 4st 12lbs (30.8kg) and save more than £100 a week 👀💖!

Before, Whitley was spending up to £500 a month on fast food, snacks and takeaways – and says they stopped feeling like a treat and made her unwell 💔. Now, thanks to Slimming World – and the support she found from her Consultant and fellow members – she’s discovered a love of home cooking and has drastically cut her food spending – all while eating food she actually enjoys 😋.

At his heaviest, Alex struggled with everyday activities – like walking, playing with his kids and being on his feet all day at work 💔. With his wife’s support, he joined his local Slimming World group and turned his life around 🙌!

Now 4st 3.5lbs (27kg) lighter, Alex has bags of energy for activity – which is lucky, as this month he’ll be running all 26.2 miles of the London Marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK 🤗.

This pasta dish is easy-peasy to make and full of fresh flavours ☀️. It’s perfect for those nights when you just want to be out enjoying the sun – and tastes just as good the next day 😉.

1️⃣ Over a medium heat, fry two thinly sliced leeks, 150g sliced shallots and two sliced garlic cloves until soft.
2️⃣ Grate in the zest of one unwaxed lemon, before adding in 150g frozen peas. At this stage you can add in any other veggies you fancy!
3️⃣ Once everything is soft, pop it in a blender with some mint and a little fresh pasta water and blitz it through.

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

Korean barbecue chicken

Korea’s cuisine has grown hugely in popularity in recent years... one bite of these gochujang-marinated, sesame-sprinkled chicken chunks will show you why!
This recipe is taken from our Ultimate Fakeaways cookbook, available exclusively to Slimming World members.

🤩Ingredients 🤩

⭐️2 level tbsp gochujang paste
⭐️2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
⭐️½ level tsp sugar
⭐️1cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
⭐️1 garlic clove, crushed
⭐️600g skinless and boneless chicken thighs, visible fat removed, each cut lengthways into 3 pieces
⭐️2 level tsp sesame seeds

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Put the gochujang paste, vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic and a little seasoning in a wide bowl and mix well. Add the chicken pieces, toss to coat and set aside to marinate – ideally 1 hour in the fridge, but even 10 minutes is worth it.

⭐️Heat your oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

⭐️Line a large baking tray with kitchen foil and arrange the chicken on the tray, spaced apart as much as possible. Scatter with the sesame seeds and roast for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

⭐️Transfer the chicken to a plate and serve with rice and lots of Speed vegetables or a crisp, finely chopped salad.
