Slimming World
The UK's most successful weight loss program.
BACKGROUND
Slimming World is a weight loss program that promotes itself as the weight loss plan without hunger. Slimming World is the most advanced weight loss organization in the UK. The program was founded in 1969 by Margaret Miles-Bramwell. During the past 35 years more than five million people have lost more than 60 million pounds so Slimming World is obviously effective.
Slimming World offers more than 5,500 groups meeting on a weekly basis nationwide in the UK and has 2,500 trained Slimming World consultants. Slimming World also launched a magazine in 1998, which is now the leading diet magazine in the UK.

DIET and NUTRITION
The Slimming World program focuses heavily on what types of food to eat so that you are full and don’t feel deprived while losing weight. You can choose from a vegetarian program, or one that incorporates meat.
EXERCISE
Exercise is recommended for faster weight loss. However, the Slimming World program claims that you don’t have to exercise because of the efficiency of their Food Optimising component. Slimming World does encourage moderate exercise if you want to exercise.
CONCLUSION
The Slimming World plan could very well be a great plan, but it is not available to those outside of the UK. Slimming World also has no plans to offer the plan outside of the UK due to not being able to train the consultants that work at the centers. If you are within the UK or plan on moving there, this plan could be a great help if you want to lose weight. The Slimming World plan seems to be successful and one of the most popular plans nationwide around the UK.
