What can you eat on SP days? ›

On an SP Day, the focus shifts towards boosting weight loss by prioritizing Speed Foods and Protein Foods. Speed Foods are fruits, vegetables, and certain other ingredients that are low in energy density and high in nutrients. Find out more about Speed Food here.

It's quite straightforward really and is centred around the principle that you fill your plate only with S and P foods (speed and protein). So that means no potatoes, rice, pasta, Muller Lights, or other regular free foods that you might have at meal times.

Slimming World Free Foods include:

eggs.

Healthy Extras. If you are doing an SP day or if not then you can still do these and they are healthy extras and on an extra easy SP day then you can choose: two healthy extra 'a' choices.

To do it super properly your B choice also has to be a. P food, so you could have alpen lite bars or hi fi lite bars, but not oats. You could have the occasional free food e.g. A banana, but if you have white carbs they must be syned, e.g. Spuds, pasta, couscous and on an sp day the Syns are high.

You can have baked beans though as they are a p food.

I've been on holiday so week off and feeling like I'll need to do some SP days. You can have ff yogurt but it will need to be a high protein 'P' version which is usually Greek Yogurt - I get mine from lidl but suggest you use the app and check as not all are (could t find a single P yogurt in Aldi).

You can make two choices a day from the Healthy Extras A choice and one choice a day from the Healthy Extra B choice. Again, you will find a full list of these choices in your food optimising book or the SW app. Healthy Extra A choices are dairy foods that are a good source of calcium.
