Ah, the weekend is approaching – that magical time of the week when the work’s done, the PJ’s are on, and the cravings kick in hard. For many of us, it’s practically a ritual: feet up, TV on, and a takeaway menu in hand. But if you’re following Slimming World or trying to keep your calorie count in check, that innocent ‘treat night’ can quickly derail your progress. Sound familiar?

Believe me, I’ve been there. One minute you’re “just browsing” your takeaway delivery app of choice, the next you’ve inhaled half a pizza, a side of cheesy chips, and three onion bhajis. It feels great in the moment—but the food guilt and bloating that follow? Not so great.

That’s where the magic of the fakeaway comes in. What’s a fakeaway, you ask? It’s your favourite takeaway-style dishes, recreated at home with healthier, slimming-friendly swaps—lower in calories, packed with flavour, and totally satisfying. No mystery oils, no sky-high syn values, and best of all? No regrets.

Over the years, I’ve experimented with loads of different fakeaway recipes, trying to capture all the comfort and indulgence of my favourite Chinese, Indian, and chippy classics without compromising on my Slimming World journey. And I promise—just because it’s homemade and low in syns doesn’t mean it’s boring or bland!

In this post, I’m sharing my Top 10 Friday Fakeaway Recipes—perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy that cosy weekend treat while sticking to their slimming goals. Whether you’re craving a spicy curry, or crispy fake-fried chicken strips, there’s something here to suit every craving.
