Speed Free Foods are even lower in\u00a0calories so they\u2019re the very best foods to eat when you want to lose weight. So if you swap one third or more of the slimming Free Food on your plate for super-slimming Speed Free Food, you\u2019re naturally reducing the calories \u2013 without weighing, measuring, counting or going hungry.<\/p>\n<p>You can find\u00a0the\u00a0fruit and vegetable lists that are just bursting with Speed Free Foods in your\u00a0Food Optimising book\u00a0\u2013 just look for the &#8216;S&#8217; symbol.
