Milk or cheese? It used to be a choice, but now with the two Healthy Extra As up for grabs - you can have both! But when it comes to calcium, how much impact does it have on our weight loss? And which options on the Slimming World plan are best when it comes to getting the most calcium? Clare and Anna share the top five choices for milk, cheese and ‘other’ sources according the 2019 book. And who knew that calcium is key for boosting your metabolism and burning fat - not just good for your bones and teeth! Presented by Anna Mangan and Clare Freeman.

Speed versus free food - how much difference does it really make when you pick the options with an ’S’ next to them in the book compared with the ones that don’t?

2: Clare's Story
The yo yo dieter. That’s how Clare describes herself. Now nudging a 4 stone weight loss since the beginning of 2018, she looks back with Anna over the ups and downs of the last few years, and explains why the Slimming World plan is working for her. From loneliness, boredom to heartbreak and a lack of routine - it seems there’s always an excuse to park the diet in every step of Clare’s journey. But, as she explains on another SW Food For Thought Podcast, there’s always an inspiration too - and this time with the help of Anna, Clare is determined to crack on and renose a new relationship with food once and for all.
