Slimming World Healthy Extras A and B

If you are already following the Slimming World diet you definitely know about their Healthy Extras. But, if you are planning to join the Slimming World, you should understand their concept of Healthy Extras.

Healthy Extras is the most important element of their Food Optimising theory after Free Foods. Unlike Free Foods which don't need to be measured, Healthy Extras must be measured and eaten in specified portion sizes. Slimming World has divided Health Extras into 2 categories - Healthy Extras A and Healthy Extras B.

Healthy Extras A adds vitamin and calcium to your diet and gives your everyday meal a touch of variety. Healthy Extras A includes dairy options and non-dairy options for Slimmers who are lactose-intolerant or vegans.
