Go to work on an egg!
The fabulously versatile egg is something often avoided by slimmers. Some restrictive diet plans and unhealthy eating regimes even instruct cutting out eggs altogether! It’s no yolk!
However, a new study has revealed that having eggs for breakfast helps keep us fuller for longer, keeping away those mid-morning hunger pangs. The US research has shown that it’s the protein quality in the egg that helps act as ‘nature’s appetite suppressant’.
It's something that our research with the Rowett Institute proved - almost 20 years ago - and that's why with Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan, eggs are a Free Food so can be eaten in unlimited quantities! They’re packed with health-giving nutrients such as protein, vitamins A, D, E, and B and the minerals iron, calcium and zinc. They’re the ultimate fast food, cheap and great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert!
For a taster of some of the fabulous egg recipes you can enjoy while losing weight, tuck into these delicious dishes:

Walk with the world on Nordic Walking Day
In case you didn’t know, the 20th May is World Nordic Walking Day, promoting health and physical activity around the globe!

It’s a sociable and relatively low-cost way to become more active, and it’s brilliant Body Magic too bringing you untold body benefits not to mention boosting your weight loss!
If you’d like to have a go – for Nordic Walking Day, or any day – you’ll find an instructor and more information here.
