What are Free Foods on Slimming World?

Free Foods are foods you can build meals around on the plan. They’re intended to help you feel full and satisfied while still supporting weight loss.

Are all fruit and vegetables Free Foods?

Many are, but some foods can be treated differently depending on how they’re prepared or used. If you’re unsure, check the Slimming World app or ask your consultant.

Do Free Foods have Syns?

Free Foods don’t usually need Syns when eaten as intended on the plan, but some products and recipes can change Syn values (for example, if added fats or sugar are included).

Can I eat unlimited Free Foods?

The plan encourages satisfying portions, but it’s still worth keeping meals balanced and including Speed foods and Healthy Extras as recommended.

Yes — allowances can change. It’s best to double-check in the app or with your consultant if you’re relying on a specific product.
