As followers of the Slimming World diet plan will know, it can be a great way to lose weight - but you can end up spending a heck of a lot of time preparing meals to get the best results.
Unlike other diets, you don't have to calorie count on Slimming World, instead foods are divided into different categories including 'free' foods of which you can eat unlimited amounts, and daily measured portions of 'Healthy Extra A' (HEA) and 'Healthy Extra B' (HEB).
It has proved to be a popular plan for those who love their carbs, as among those 'free' foods are things like pasta, rice and noodles so you can eat unlimited amounts and still lose weight, although you need to make sure you're not adding any extras like fats and sugars which are limited to a number of 'syns' each day.
