Slimming World and Diabetes UK launch co-branded recipes
This Diabetes Week, as part of their strategic partnership, Slimming World and Diabetes UK are collaborating to share a range of Food Optimising friendly recipes for those living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as pre-diabetes.
For more than 50 years, Slimming World has supported thousands of members living with diabetes to lose weight and help manage their condition, with many members being able to reduce medication, and for some with type 2 diabetes, even put their condition into remission.
The recipes give a taste of how Food Optimising, Slimming World’s healthy eating plan, can fit the range of dietary recommendations for people living with diabetes and pre-diabetes, such as varying amounts of carbohydrates.The launch includes recipes which have proven popular with members and cover a range of cuisines and dietary preferences, such as a number of vegetarian dishes.
Carolyn Pallister, Dietitian and Slimming World's Head of Nutrition, Research and Health, says: “We’re so excited to be sharing Food Optimising recipes for those living with diabetes and pre-diabetes.
“We’ve selected the recipes to also fit a variety of lifestyles. For example, there will be quick and easy meals for those with busy routines, as well as recipes that help expand your skills in the kitchen and that the whole family will love. Rest assured though, these aren’t the only recipes members living with diabetes can enjoy and follow Slimming World’s healthy eating plan.
“Many of our recipes are suitable just as they are or can be easily adapted to meet different dietary requirements and needs.”
Food Optimising is a flexible, healthy balanced approach, and these recipes showcase the huge range of delicious food that can be enjoyed.
At least six recipes will be shared every 12 weeks to the Slimming World website, the exclusive member website, and on the Slimming World app.
