☀️ Wow, it is absolutely scorching out there today! ☀️
​On the first really hot day of the summer, the last thing anyone wants to do is stand over a hot stove. When the temperature skyrockets, it’s incredibly easy to feel like your healthy habits are melting away with it. You might be tempted by ice cream vans, sugary cocktails, or just grabbing whatever is quickest and coolest.
​But here is the best news: you can absolutely stay on track, Food Optimise, and keep losing weight while enjoying this gorgeous sunshine! Summer is actually the perfect time for Food Optimisation. Think about it:
​🍔 BBQs can be packed with lean meats, homemade burgers, and grilled veggie skewers.
​🥗 Speed Foods are at their absolute peak—crisp, refreshing salads, juicy tomatoes, and fresh berries.
​🍦 Low calorie/low Swip treats like flavored fat-free yogurts turned into lollies can completely satisfy that sweet craving.
​You don't have to choose between enjoying the heatwave and smashing your weight loss goals. You can do both!
​We’ve put together a massive guide packed with refreshing recipe ideas, BBQ hacks, and cool tips to keep you feeling light and motivated today.
​👉 [Check out our summer survival blog right here for tons of inspiration!] https://www.slimmingworld.co.uk/blog/eat-slimming-world-summer-recipes/
​Stay hydrated, grab your sun cream, and let's make this a slimmer summer together! 😎

Enjoy a taste of summer with scrumptious salads, perfect picnics, brilliant barbecues and irresistible ice creams

MYTH: to lose weight you must go hungry. BUSTED: the point of Free Food is that Slimming World members never have to go hungry! Free Food is food that is low in energy density (calories per gram) and/or high in appetite satisfaction. By filling your plate with Free Food - like fruit, vegetables, pulses, pasta, rice, eggs, fish and lean meat – you'll see the pounds drop off while feeling completely satisfied 🤩

An amazing achievement by a Slimmjng World member...!

In my 12 years as a Slimming World consultant, I've had so many incredible experiences, but I had a first last Tuesday and it filled my heart with serious pride. I had the immense privilege of awarding my VERY FIRST Club 50 award.

Emily joined after she found herself researching the cost of installing a stair lift at home, such was the pain she was in from carrying excess weight, she knew something had to change and that was when she walked through my doors.

96 weeks later and with a phenomenal weightloss of just under 10 stones, Emily has lost over 50% of her body weight and quite rightly has been awarded this hugely special accolade. Emily is a wonderful part of her group both supporting and being supported by other members.

For my part it has been a joy to see this lovely lady transform in front of my eyes each week, both physically and mentally. From researching stair lifts to finding a love of hiking, Emily has changed her life for the better.

Please wish Emily well in the comments and if you're sitting there wanting to change your own life, whether you want to lose 10lbs or 10 stone, you'll be welcomed in my group 😊

My daughters are big into ramen so I did a simple version for myself today : onion, carrot, celery with wholewheat noodles found in Aldi this week, with a pack of sliced cooked beef cut up, miso paste and soya sauce to taste and coriander on top. It was so quick to make and sooo good!! (I never fancy the hard boiled egg you often see in ramen dishes so I left it out). I'm not the most enthusiastic cook so I'm always chuffed when I manage to try something new 🤩
