January is traditionally the month when most diets begin as people start New Yar's Resolutions aimed at getting healthier and try to shift the extra pounds put on over Christmas. Most supermarkets now have their own range of diet ready meals, some linked to slimming organisations, and all suggesting they could help you lose weight as part of a balanced diet.
Dianne Bourne decided to try Aldi's SlimWell range, which has been expanding since it was first launched in 2017. She ate five of the meals - one each night - to see whether they tasted good, what the cost would be and, crucially, if she could lose weight.
Writing for the MEN, she said: "As I'm back on the dieting bandwagon for the new year, I thought I'd give the latest lunch pots, as well as two of the Aldi SlimWell main meals, a try over the course of a week's healthy eating."
