Starting Slimming World can be scary or daunting. I have always found that the key to succeeding is in the preparation. I don't just mean prepping food in advance, I mean having all the tools to succeed before you get started.
Here's a list of food, and non food, things you need to buy to help reach Slimming success!
All meals should be served with Speed Food, at least 1/3 of your plate to be precise!

13 Things You Need to Buy Before Starting Slimming World
Stock cubes
They are syn free and are great to add to meals for flavour. They are super versatile and great to use as a base for sauces.
Passata or Chopped tomatoes
So many meals can be made from chopped or sieved tomatoes! If I have any less than 3 cartons of passata left in my cupboard, I start to panic!
Potatoes
They are so versatile, but best of all syn free! They can be used as an accompaniment to most meals.
Smoked Paprika
One of my favourite flavours this adds a beautiful smoky highlight and is great for helping make a syn free BBQ sauce (I use it in a LOT of things).
Dried Rice & Pasta
Perfect, syn free, accompaniment to meals

A wonderful flavour and used in so many dishes.

Foil containers

Tupperware Boxes
Again these are great for taking food in for lunches. There's no end to the food you can create, and the nicer the food is the more likely you are to eat it!
