BIG Slimming Meals – in Minutes!
If you’ve ever complained that you’re too busy to lose weight, you’re not alone. Research by the UK’s favourite slimming club Slimming World shows that more than half of people believe lack of time is the main reason for Britain’s obesity crisis. And a quarter of those questioned say they’d like to eat a healthier diet but are too busy to make eating well a priority.
But losing weight and eating delicious, healthy meals doesn’t have to be time-consuming. A new recipe book from Slimming World that claims to help slimmers save time and lose pounds shows just how quick and easy healthy eating can be.
Nowadays people lead extremely busy lives, juggling long working hours, families, friends, housework and other commitments. With so much going on it’s easy to let something slip, and for lots of people that’s cooking healthy meals because they think it’s easier to pop a ready meal in the microwave or order a takeaway.
In fact, cooking healthily doesn’t have to be a laborious task and Slimming World’s latest cookbook Extra Easy Meals in Minutes proves just that. It’s full of really simple and delicious recipes that you can have on the table in 30 minutes or less, so even after a busy day you’ll still have time to whip up something tasty. And best of all they’re all super-slimming and won’t cost the earth either.
The brand new recipe book contains more than 50 time-saving recipes that go from fridge to feast in just 30 minutes or less and are also kind to the waistline. From family suppers to speedy snacks and even dinner party dishes, the collection caters for all occasions so slimmers can too.
The easy-to-follow recipes, including linguine with creamy pesto, sticky 5-spice gammon and chick pea and chilli cakes, have all been created especially for Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan, a healthy eating programme for healthy appetites. Food Optimising encourages slimmers to cook delicious dishes for the whole family based around everyday satisfying foods like fruit and vegetables, rice, pasta, potatoes, fish and lean meat, so that they enjoy plenty of real food, never go hungry and still lose weight beautifully. When combined with the inspiration, motivation and friendly support that members get at a Slimming World group, that’s a powerful weight loss package that’s hard to beat.
Extra Easy Meals in Minutes is available in all 7,500 Slimming World groups nationwide at a price of £4.95. For more information or to find your nearest Slimming World group visit www.slimmingworld.com or call 0844 897 8000.
