Are you on a mission to get your family eating better? Slimming World makes it easy! All of your gang’s favourites fit into our flexible Food Optimising plan – including big Sunday roasts, Friday night fakeaways and hearty midweek meals – so you can serve up delicious, nutritious dishes and make dinner times a grumble-free zone.
When you follow Food Optimising, you can rest assured that your family will be eating well while you’re losing weight. Studies show that our members, on average, improve their eating habits significantly and now eat better than the general population. They were found to…
- eat more fruit and vegetables (our Free Foods list is packed with plenty of colourful fruit and veg – so you can eat as much as you like!)
- eat more fibre than the general population, and are more likely to meet the daily recommendations
- on average, meet the recommended calcium intake (as a Slimming World member you’ll enjoy measured Healthy Extras every day, to ensure you’re getting the right amounts of these essential nutrients)
- cook from scratch more often, buy fewer takeaways and choose fast food less often (with more than 1,700 recipes in our online collection, including tasty fakeaways, it’s easy to find Food Optimising versions of your go-tos)
- drink fewer sugary drinks and cut down on alcohol, meeting the recommended guideline of 14 units per week or under (of course, you can still enjoy a tipple – our flexible Food Optimising plan just puts you in control!)
- consume less salt, sugar, fat and saturated fat
- eat more oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids (which can help lower the risk of heart disease and protect joints)
