Fill up on Free Food®

All our meals are based on

Slimming World Free Food –

nutritious, everyday foods that

fill you up for fewer calories,

meaning they’re great for weight

loss! Free Food includes lean

meat, poultry, fish, eggs, pasta,

rice, potatoes, pulses, fruit, veg

and more. And you can eat these

foods freely, making them perfect

for satisfying the biggest of

appetites. Some Free Foods have

the extra bonus of being Speed

Food – fruit and veg that are

super-low in calories and keep

you slimming beautifully. For the

best results, always reach for

Speed Food first in between

meals and include at least a third

of a plate of Speed Food at every

meal, where it makes sense.

Add in Healthy Extras ®

To help provide a good

balance of nutrients, enjoy

two measured portions of milk

or cheese each day – your

Healthy Extra ‘a’ choices. Options

include 350ml skimmed milk or

250ml semi-skimmed milk; 40g

reduced-fat or 30g full-fat hard

cheese; 50g mozzarella; 45g feta

or 35g Danish blue, which can be

eaten as part of a meal or snack.

Also have one portion of

wholemeal bread or breakfast

cereal each day – your Healthy

Extra ‘b’ choice. To keep things

simple we’ve built your Healthy

Extra ‘b’ choice into the menu

plan each day.

Choose your Syns®

Foods and drinks that might

pose a risk to your weight loss –

those high in fat or sugar, as

well as alcohol – can be enjoyed

as carefully counted Syns. We

recommend you plan between

5 and 15 Syns into your day (see

the bottom of the next page

for some ideas).

Make simple swaps

To help protect your weight

loss, choose the leanest meats

and trim off any visible fat –

cut the white bits off bacon

and remove skin from poultry.

Dry-fry or cook with low-calorie

cooking spray rather than

fat or oil, switch sugar for

sweetener, and swap cream

and crème fraîche for fat-free

natural yogurt or plain quark.

So that’s Food Optimising® in

a nutshell. You’ll find everything

you need to know about Free

Food, Healthy Extras and Syns

in your Food Optimising book,

available from group, and for

Slimming World Online members
