Crawley healthy eating expert says you can have a great Easter without giving up chocolate
Hayley Caliskan and her team of consultants, who run Slimming World groups in Crawley, Copthorne, Horley and East Grinstead, said: “Easter can be a tough time for slimmers because it feels as though temptation is everywhere.
"However, the key to long term weight loss is balance, so allowing yourself a little tempting treat can often stop you from over-indulging and undoing all of your hard work.

Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan allows slimmers to satisfy their appetite on filling foods that are low in energy density like pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit and vegetables, lean meat, poultry, fish and more – meaning they need never go hungry.
Hayley continues: “Plus because they can still enjoy small amounts of foods that many weight loss plans cut out – like chocolate, crisps and alcohol – they never feel deprived or unable to sustain their healthy eating habits.”
Try this quick and easy chocolate fix this Easter:
You’ll be in heaven with this wickedly creamy dessert. It’s so heavenly you’ll be tempted to have seconds (or thirds!) – and you can without damaging your weight loss.
