Slimming World is a network of over 6,000 weekly groups. Slimming World offers an integrated approach combining expertise in the psychology of slimming, diet and physical activity, to provide an effective, well balanced and practical solution to members.

Slimming World's weight loss philosophy is based on an understanding of the psychological challenges faced by overweight people. Their healthy eating plan, Food Optimising, is based on nutritional principles and is designed to make losing weight easy and enjoyable with its generous and flexible approach.

The Company employs and works with a team of experts in nutrition and obesity research as well as psychologists, dieticians and exercise specialists, working to understand the issues behind obesity and so be in a better position to help those seeking to lose weight. An online programme for people not wishing to attend a group is also offered. The company has pioneered 'Slimming on Referral' enabling health professionals to refer patients to Slimming World groups, offering them free membership for 12 week periods.
