Tackle those triggers
If your little ones love to tuck into things you’d rather avoid, having your own slimming-friendly snacks to hand can save the day.
Slimming World’s list of Free Foods includes plenty of options for when you’re feeling peckish, including fresh fruit and veg, lean meat and hard-boiled eggs.
Plus, you’ll get ideas for nibbles and snacking strategies in group and on our member website and app.

Plan active days out
Day trips are great for making the most of the fine weather (while it lasts!), spending time with friends and family, taking some time out just for you – and adding in some brilliant Body Magic without breaking a sweat.
At Slimming World, we encourage you to get active in a way that fits in with your lifestyle – because it means you’re far more likely to enjoy it and want to keep doing it!

Be a self-catering swot
You can stay on plan, even when you’re staying away – and it’s especially easy if you’re self-catering.
Pack your favourite Slimming World recipe book (or bookmark your go-tos online – our members have access to more than 2,000 recipes on the website and app).
Then check out the nearest supermarket and fill your basket with Free Foods like fish, lean meat and piles of super-fresh fruit and veg.

Quench your thirst
While drinking water won’t boost weight loss, staying hydrated is great for our health and it can stop us from mistaking thirst for hunger. As well as water (and you can opt for still, sparkling or tap), sugar-free squash and diet fizzy drinks are Free.
