Grab a soup!

Soup is a beautiful way to eat in your healthy diet because it’s generally low in calories and can be enjoyed hot or cold. Good sources of fiber, like lentils and beans, also keep you full for longer. If you’re not a fan of making soup from scratch, plenty of canned varieties are just as healthy. Look for low-sodium options when buying canned soups; they often contain extra chemicals that may contribute to weight gain.

Avoid refined carbohydrates

You may have heard of a new fad diet that restricts your carbohydrate intake to only 20g per day (even less if you’re trying to lose weight quickly). While it might sound extreme, it’s one of the most effective ways to lose weight. It’s called ketogenic dieting, and it forces your body into a state of ketosis (where your body starts burning fat for energy). Follow these simple tips for how to create a keto diet.

Choose lean proteins

Beef, chicken, and fish are rich in protein and other essential nutrients. They’re also generally lower in calories than cheese, eggs, or carbs. Opt for leaner cuts of meat—like a skinless chicken breast or sirloin instead of a pork chop—and you’ll cut down on unnecessary fat and calories. With some fruits and veggies to round out your plate, you’ve got one tasty meal!

Add greens, lentils, and beans.

It’s easy to lose weight in Slimming World if you’re eating right. If you’re not sure what to eat, try adding some low-calorie leafy greens such as spinach or spring greens to meals – they taste great in frittatas and pasta dishes. Lentils and beans are also good choices; add them to salads, stews, or casseroles for a more filling meal.

Spice it up with herbs and spices

In place of high-fat dressings and sauces, incorporate herbs and spices lower in calories but still pack a punch when it comes to flavor. Herbs and spices like rosemary, cilantro, oregano, parsley, dill, peppermint, or thyme can be used to add taste without adding fat.

Don’t skimp on the dairy…

Dairy products are low in calories and high in protein, making them an intelligent weight-loss choice. For example, the right combination of dairy foods—1 cup of milk with 1 ounce of cheddar cheese, can make an excellent between-meals snack. Try soy products like yogurt or something fermented like tempeh if you can’t do dairy. And although plain yogurt has natural sugars, it’s much lower in calories than most dessert options.

…but don’t overdo it either!

However, limiting your daily intake of carbohydrates and focusing on protein is only part of Slimming World. The plan also dictates that you have at least three portions of fruits and vegetables every day; eating these with each meal will help you feel fuller for longer and ensure your body gets all its necessary vitamins and minerals to function correctly. If you’re unsure how to incorporate more fresh produce into your diet, there are dozens of low-carb recipes online with delicious ways to get a serving or two in. Remember not to overdo it either – if you feel hungry soon after lunch or dinner, try having another small portion instead of snacking between meals. It’s much better for weight loss than constantly grazing!
