Faddy diets are falling out of favour with the British public with sales of slimming products dropping by a third over the last five years, says a survey by Mintel. They say a higher proportion of consumers believe diets are hard to follow, confusing and may be harmful. We agree!  Our members frequently let us know about the faddy diets they’ve tried – and how they’ve lost weight initially but felt hungry, deprived and unsupported, forcing them back to their old eating habits... and additional weight gain.

They tell us that joining Slimming World and discovering the best weight loss plan has given them the tools and support to lose weight – for life!

Sarah Hanning, from Gosport in Hampshire now has heaps of energy to keep up with her toddler, thanks to losing a fantastic 5st 3½lbs! Her life-changing weight loss has led to health, happiness and no hunger!

“I’ve tried umpteen diets, including the cabbage soup diet and counting points but I always found myself very hungry and gave up after a matter of weeks.

“With Food Optimising I’m never hungry. It’s not a diet, it’s a healthy eating plan for life and easy to maintain. I can eat absolutely anything I want to! Cooking the healthy meals at home has led to my husband losing half a stone! My daughter also eats more healthily and my mother has even been inspired to lose weight.”
