Get unbeatable support
Join your fellow members as part of the Slimming World community, in group and online. This is where the magic happens – share, shine, support others and be supported to reach your dream weight.
Eat the food you love
Slimming World shows you how to cut calories without counting them. The stroke of genius that makes Food Optimising so easy and so effective is Free Food – healthy, satisfying food you can enjoy in unlimited amounts whenever you’re hungry.
Eat the food you love – favourites like spag bol, curry, chicken and chips – and still lose weight. It’s food the whole family can enjoy together, so you’ll be taking care of their health as well as your own.

Body Magic, our unique physical activity programme, will help you develop a healthy active lifestyle which supports your weight loss and – once you reach your dream weight – helps you maintain it for life!
Get unbeatable support
To change the habits that have formed over years – sometimes decades – we know you need in-depth support and encouragement.
At Slimming World, we’re passionate about helping every member achieve their dreams. We promise you’ll be treated with warmth, respect and understanding, and you’ll have access to a support system like no other – that’s how Slimming World works.
At the heart of our groups is a powerfully motivating session we call IMAGE Therapy. IMAGE stands for Individual Motivation And Group Experience. Each week you’ll be inspired to form new, lasting healthy habits, and be given the techniques and confidence to manage your mindset.
Based on our unique group support, if you’re an online member you’ll enjoy a wealth of tools to raise awareness of where things could go wrong and develop strategies for lifelong success. And in our online Community you’ll share your experiences and get support from fellow slimmers.
Learn more about the science
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.
Our members achieve their weight loss dreams and transform their lives with motivating support to improve their self-esteem and overcome feelings of guilt about their weight. For more than 50 years, this understanding has been developed and refined in line with the latest research on nutrition, physical activity and the psychology of behaviour change.
