BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
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. The Slimming World program offers group support through meetings, healthy eating options, getting active tips and access to the Slimming World magazine.

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.

I am so excited to hear that the programme is now available here in the DFW metroplex. I only wish I had discovered this a week ago before I forked out $485 for a slim4life diet that is unworkable for me. I am British and attended SW in the UK back in 2004 (have a friend who swears by it) and it was the best programme I have ever been on. I am looking forward to joining a group in the next week or so.

This is the best plan I have ever tried. It works. I am never hungry. I eat more fruits and vegetables than ever before. I feel great and have much more energy. My cravings are pretty much gone. I have finally found a plan I can live with long term and I am enjoying the ride. I have been doing this as part of the Lewisville, Texas group since March, 2010 and have lost 38 1/2 lbs. LOVE IT!

I would just like to point out that slimming world does encourage exercise with their F.I.T. log and it is also available in the US!
