Snacking can be a worry for many slimmers. When the urge to snack strikes, we know how tempting it can be to reach for biscuits, crisps, cakes and other common trigger foods that you’d rather swerve.
At Slimming World, we’ll give you strategies, support and lots of suggestions for Free and low-Syn snacks to help you stay in control of what you eat and when. You’ll also have access to our handy food search and barcode scanner tools to see how your favourite snacks fit into our flexible Food Optimising plan. Welcome to a way to lose weight that works for your real life!
Satisfy your appetite
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.
Of course, there are times when we just don’t fancy or have time for a big meal. Our Free Foods list includes plenty of choice for when you’re feeling snack-ish. We will help you swap unhealthy nibbles for snacks that you can enjoy freely without stalling your weight loss.
10 Free Food snack ideas:
- cooked chicken drumsticks with the skin removed
- corn on the cob
- cherry tomatoes
- seafood sticks
- hard-boiled eggs
- fresh or frozen fruit
- sliced peppers
- fat-free natural yogurt with fresh fruit
- carrot and celery batons
- speedy Slimming World houmous
Enjoy low-Syn snacks
No food is off-limits at Slimming World. The Food Optimising plan includes Healthy Extras and Syns to use as you wish.
At a Slimming World group you’ll learn how Syns work as part of a healthy balanced diet, how to plan your Syns into your daily menu and how to make them go further with our slimmed-down recipes, plus low-Syn snacks. With our help, you can use your choice power to snack while staying in control.
