At Slimming World, we’ve helped millions of people reach their dream weight without dieting. As experts in the science and psychology of slimming, we understand what works when it comes to sustainable weight loss.

Delve deeper into the five secrets of slimming success and discover the Slimming World difference…

1. Never feel hungry or restricted

Diets are unsustainable because they leave us feeling hungry or like we’re missing out on the food we enjoy. With Slimming World, you absolutely can eat the food you love and still lose weight. Family meals, fakeaways, desserts and drinks– they’re all still on the menu!

With filling Free Foods – including everyday staples like pasta, rice and potatoes – you’ll always feel satisfied. You can eat Free Foods in unlimited amounts, with no need to worry about weighing, measuring or counting.

We’ll also help you make your favourite dishes slimming-friendly – whether that’s a big burger and chips, a spicy curry or a celebratory slice of cake. With more than 2,000 recipes on the member app and website, plus lots of great ideas in group and on Slimming World Online, we make it deliciously easy to slim without hunger, restriction or guilt.

2. Follow a flexible plan that fits with your lifestyle

Making big changes to the way we live our lives oftenisn’t realistic – and it can make slimming down feel just too difficult. That’s why we’ve created a failsafe flexible plan that fits around you, with recipes, strategies and tools to overcome your individual challenges. Whether you want to eat well on a budget, find speedy recipes for busy days, dine out while slimming, or enjoy food as a family – or all of the above – we’ll help you lose weight in a way that works for you.

3. Increase activity – at your own pace

Being active has amazing benefits for your health and wellbeing and will help you to maintain your weight loss and feel fantastic. We know, though, that many of our members find the idea of exercise overwhelming. Slimming World’s Body Magic activity programme will help you overcome your exercise barriers and get active, step-by-step, from your personal starting point. It’s totally tailorable to your lifestyle and fitness level – with an expert toolkit and motivating awards to support you all the way to an active lifestyle you’ll love.

4. Change your mindset around food and drink

When we’re struggling with our weight, it can feel like everything is out of our control – from the foods we eat to the everyday challenges that steer us away from making slimming-friendly choices. This can lead to frustration and make it difficult to achieve the weight loss that we’re after.

As experts in the psychology of weight loss, Slimming World can help you to understand yourself as a slimmer and empower you to take back control. Together we work on building sustainable healthy habits, for lasting slimming success.
