Good Points

There are more positives than negatives at Slimming World. The positives are that (depending on the dynamics of the group) weekly support from fellow members does actually help. Partly because as they have spent time investing their time in supporting you - the motivation is there to lose the weight to support the group in return, as a whole. The major good point for me is the lack of emphasis on counting calories and writing down all you eat as Slimming World is not a DIET but a long term sensible eating plan - which works for me as i do not think about food so much as when i was on Weight Watchers. It is not a quick fix for me but a gradual weight loss psychologically and physically.


Bad Points

As reviewer highlighted - Slimming World do not actually treat us as intelligent human beings. When asked how does this programme actually work - when you could in theory have 30 eggs a day and 10lbs rice a day - and unlimited salt and NO exercise. Leader explained 'We do not know how the engine works in a car - so we do not have to know how this programme actually works' Also often no talk of exercise.


General Comments

I have lost weight with Slimming World - roughly 1/2 lb a week which is not earth shattering but if I haven't had gone I would have either not lost the weight or put on weight. I actually look forward to going - have a great group - this is my second group - the first one was unbearable - very unprofessional leader who only gave any spark of life when Wine was mentioned by one of the members. Gave no encouragement and was a disgrace to Slimming World. But my present club is actually run by an encouraging person and the group members themselves are a pleasure to be with once a week. I am unsure as to why I have not as much weight as others as I exercise 5 days a week and follow the plan - but will stick with it as it is better than the alternative. Honest review - i Just think overall you were very unlucky with the group leader - they vary enormously - please try another group or even 2 to find the best leader - it is mostly about the personality of the leader.
