It’s entirely possible to follow Slimming World at home – you need to know how to do it. This guide will show you how to do Slimming World at home with our favourite tips and tricks.

Two simple rules

Eat more healthily, and be more active. Seems simple right? It can be tricky sticking to new habits, but there are some ways you can make it easier. The key is making sure your goals are realistic and well-defined. If you know what you want and how you’ll get there, it’s far easier for you to stay motivated. Here’s how

How to plan your meals

Meal planning can seem overwhelming, but it’s pretty simple. Start by deciding what you’ll eat for each meal, then go grocery shopping and stock up your pantry with those ingredients. If you shop once a week for all seven days’ worth of food and make one trip to pick everything up, you will save time and money—and be less likely to make impulse purchases.

Eat only what’s on your plate.

Don’t eat until you feel full; overeating means your body won’t burn any calories. If you have a plateful of food, pick off what you want and leave what you don’t like on your plate. Eat slowly and avoid distractions such as TV or people who might try to prompt you into eating more than you should. This gives your brain time to realize that your stomach is getting full, sending signals for your body to stop eating.

Get plenty of protein.

You’ve probably heard that eating protein helps you feel full longer. But even if it’s not your satiety hormones that are firing, getting enough protein—which is crucial for maintaining lean muscle mass—is still an essential part of any successful slim-down. Just be sure to keep portions in check: One study found that people who ate moderate amounts of protein and junk food gained just as much weight over three years as those who ate lots of junk with less protein.

Cut out sugar

Eating healthier is one of my biggest motivations for losing weight. My favourite method is simply cutting out sugar, particularly high-fructose corn syrup and white sugar. I’ve been doing a lot of research on how much harm these ingredients can cause our bodies, and I think it’s a good idea for everyone to at least try limiting their intake. For example, white sugar has no nutritional value; its only role in our diets is as an empty source of calories.

Drink more water

You may be drinking too much of something that isn’t good for you. If you are on a diet and exercise, or if you feel your body is certain craving types of foods more than it usually does, the chances are that your water intake could use some adjusting. The FDA recommends drinking half your body weight in ounces daily. So, if you weigh 200 pounds, drink 100 ounces of water each day—that’s just over 10 cups.

Don’t go hungry

Don’t restrict yourself from eating until you feel lightheaded or hungry. Instead, eat every few hours—even if you aren’t starving. It may take some time for your body to adjust and understand that your new way of eating isn’t starvation mode, but when it does, you won’t be so likely to overeat between meals.

Start now!

You can start doing Slimming World at home, and it’s as simple as going online and purchasing some plan packs for your family. Some people think that you have to do it face-to-face, but you don’t have to meet with other members or visit any meetings. You can sit on your sofa with a laptop in front of you and read through your plan packs and find out what foods are available, how many points they are per day, and everything else to know about what’s on offer.
