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.
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.

5. Find a supportive community to spur you on

Whatever slimming challenges you face, we’re here to help you overcome any obstacles and celebrate your success. With personalised support and absolutely no judgement, you’ll never feel alone on your journey with Slimming World.
We’ll walk you through the group experience, with answers to all your burning questions.

Use compassion power. It's a myth that being hard on yourself is motivating. In fact, telling yourself things like 'you're hopeless' or 'you've got no willpower' just erodes your self-esteem. The people in your Slimming World group will genuinely care about your success and want you to do well.

To experience the best results on Slimming World, familiarise yourself with the “Free Foods” that form the plan's foundation. Incorporate these foods generously into your daily meals, allowing you to feel satisfied while still achieving weight loss.
Our Magic Mover award celebrates your very first moves into Body Magic – whether that's a short walk, getting off the bus a stop earlier, doing a five- or 10-minute activity video or something else. If you're not already active, you don't have to do a huge amount of exercise to make progress.
One of the best ways to lose body fat is through steady aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking. Work up to at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise most days of the week. Some people may need more exercise than this to lose weight and keep it off.
The foods that are least filling and are higher in calories, like biscuits, sweets and alcohol, count as Syns at Slimming World. Enjoying a little of what you fancy — like a piece of chocolate or a glass of wine — means you won't be tempted to go off track.
In the end, remember the three C's of weight loss: Be Consistent with your exercise, Change the movements and workouts (if not every session, at least every 6-8 weeks), and Control your eating habits.
While the Slimming World diet emphasizes low-fat foods, the carb-heavy approach doesn't work for everyone. The limited food options may leave you feeling restricted, hungry and deprived over time.
Drinking plenty of water (especially before a meal) and eating more fiber can lead to greater satiety (feeling full after eating) and may prevent overeating, which may contribute to weight loss over time.
Some of your fave fruits and veg come under Slimming Speed Foods. Btw, there are also super Speed Foods: think apples, blackberries, grapefruit and cherries — which are even lower in energy and higher in nutrients.

Food Optimising is Slimming World's healthy eating plan.

Slimming World's programme is built on a deep understanding of how people with a weight problem feel, coupled with a healthy eating plan based on the science of energy density and satiety – a powerful combination.
