Amateur chefs make a right meal out of Slimming World’s dishes… as these stomach-churning pictures reveal
Come Dine With Me winner Martyn Hakan Hett has rounded up the most hilarious diet food photos
ITS low-calorie recipes promise to help Brits fight the flab without compromising on flavour.
But a page called #StopSlimmingWorld2k16 appears to expose the reality of Slimming World meals created by those who aren't the world's best cooks – and it’s enough to put you off your dinner.
Soggy chips, anaemic-looking chicken, piles of brown mush and worn-out ham are all on the menu.
The bio of the profile, which was created by former Come Dine With Me winner Martyn Hakan Hett, from Manchester, reads: “An ongoing series featuring a collection of terrible Slimming World meals I have found on Instagram.”
The account has provoked much hilarity with one social media user commenting: “This makes me want to eat doughnuts so much.”
One particularly dismal meal shows a plate featuring a handful of pickled onions, wafer thin ham and a couple of crisps.
“Lovely serving idea,” joked one user, while another added: “Isn’t that one of those cat bowls you can put on a timer?”
Another dieter dished up four raw chicken drumsticks and two hard-boiled eggs, while someone else snapped their pile of peas and watery-looking mash.
One dish looked unappealing thanks to the mish-mash of a baked beans base, ham slice, mushrooms and melted cheese.
One disappointing meal featuring a mound of curry alongside a few token chips was compared to vomit.
Commentators compared the stew to “roasted cat s***” or “cat sick and chips”.
