Guideline 1: enjoy your food

Guideline 2: eat a variety of different foods

Variety and choice are key to success. At Slimming World no food is banned, no food group is left out, and eating a wide range of different foods is actively encouraged. Don't believe it? Follow our healthy eating plan for just 3 months and try to prove us wrong!

Guideline 3: eat the right amount to be a healthy weight

Based on a scientific understanding of appetite and how to satisfy it, our healthy eating plan helps you learn to make healthy food choices, which naturally limit your calorie intake without counting a single calorie.

Guideline 4: eat plenty of foods rich in starch and fibre

Whichever Food Optimising choice you go for, there's a huge wealth of starchy, fibre-rich options to choose from including  pasta, potatoes, rice, pulses, cereals, bread, Food Optimising ensures that your body receives the recommended daily amount of fibre to keep your body healthy.

Guideline 5: don't eat too many foods that contain a lot of fat

Unlike other diets, at Slimming World those fatty foods that we crave so much are not banned when you’re healthy eating. Plan to make different choices – we’ll show you how in group, and by staying within your chosen allocation of Syns, you will naturally limit your intake of fatty foods and continue to lose weight.

Guideline 6: don't have sugary foods and drinks too often

Sugary foods and drinks are naturally limited by their designated Syn values. On our healthy eating plan, diet and low-cal drinks are Free! Also for a healthier chocolate fix, we even have nutritious, fibre-filled Hifi bars!

Guideline 7: look after the vitamins and minerals in your food

Our healthy eating plan positively encourages us to include foods high in essential vitamins and minerals, by choosing Free Foods and Healthy Extras.

Guideline 8: if you drink alcohol, drink within sensible limits

Simply include your drinks within your normal 5-15 Syns daily. That way you will naturally stay within the recommended intake levels.

Unlike faddy, short-term dieting, a healthy eating plan should be enjoyable, delicious and family-friendly, not to mention generous and flexible enough to follow for life-long success.
