Slice of Slim is a blog about simple, exciting, vibrant food - packed with flavour, which I create using low-fat ingredients.
It contains my own recipes and inspirations, which will take you on an unexpected journey of discovery and happiness, as you realise you CAN eat amazing, healthy food without feeling like you are missing out in any way. When you taste my dishes, you won't even realise you are eating so virtuously!
The blog is aimed at people who follow the Weightwatchers plan, but hopefully won't alienate those of you who don't.

I adore food. Since losing loads of weight (4 1/2 stone or 62 pounds) - the majority of that with WeightWatchers, I am more obsessed with it than ever...I literally think about it and talk about it all day. I think that's part of the success though, as all the planning and effort pays off with consistent weightloss...and the confidence that the weight will stay off for good. (I have maintained my weight loss since October 2010).
*
I find so many of the T.V chefs I watch and love use SO MUCH BUTTER...AND CREAM...AND SALT! It is really not compulsory for creating fabulous food. This is another reason why all my recipes are low-fat and low-salt.

When you are losing weight, it's exhilarating because you can see your body transforming. People pay you compliments and it's an exciting process to become healthier and fitter. You have to buy new clothes as you shrink in size...Maintaining your weight loss is the tough part, because you have to do that for the rest of your life, and it can feel quite daunting.
Slice of Slim aims to retain the excitement of eating. It's written for people who love their food - but in a way that won't sabotage their weight loss or maintenance efforts. I do this by presenting low-fat dishes in new and inventive ways...and it's not all virtuous...there are plenty of treats built in and lots of fun along the way!

Slice of Slim is the weight loss buddy you want to talk to incessantly about food and the issues you face while on your journey, or trying to maintain your weight loss.
I have been there, and I understand.
I still deal with my natural greediness and lust for food every day, and will show you my methods of tackling these potential stumbling blocks. I'm honest though, and will get on my soapbox to make a point - especially if it's to quash excuse-making!

Slice of Slim contains gorgeous 'stage-by-stage' photographs I take of my own recipes, as I make them. This is the food I prepare on a daily basis for my own family and friends. All my recipes have pro-pointed ingredients for Weightwatchers members. I also estimate the calorie content, so if you are not a Weightwatchers member you won't miss out.
Alongside my 'RECIPE' section, you will find:
'USEFUL STUFF'- kitchen implements, gadgets and equipment to help you cook healthily
or more easily.
'CUPBOARD LOVE'- invaluable store cupboard ingredients, worth keeping in stock.
'SMASH AND GRAB'- fast ideas and quick recipes for sweet and savoury dishes that you will be eating within 5 minutes of walking in the door, (to save you from that packet of biscuits!).
Random bonus posts, such as 'PROBLEM SOLVED' will crop up from time to time, depending on my latest discovery or thought.
