I subscribed to the magazine after going to classes for 2 years and continuing the diet myself at home. The magazine itself is great. Great recipes; great stories and lots of helpful and supportive... more

    Advantages Advantages Loads of recipes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages True Life stories not so inspiring

    I joined Slimming World at the beginning of June this year, following an uncomfortable feeling about my growing weight. I was not classed as overweight but was on the higher end of where I should be medically and wanted to shift about a stone and a half. I had done the Slimming World diet before but never joined a group so was pleasantly surprised to learn that for members of Slimming World the magazine costs just £1.50 every month instead of the £2.45 price tag that non-members have to pay if they buy it from various stationers and supermarkets. Having been reading it for quite a while now I ... more

    Several months ago I joined slimming world (see separate review). Every month slimming world published its own magazine called surprisingly enough slimming world! Slimming world magazine is actually the UK's best selling slimming magazine. So what's inside and is it worth buying? Slimming world magazine is not only available from supermarkets and newsagents at the cover price of £2.45,but can be bought from slimming world meetings at the reduced price of £1.50. The magazine has roughly 120 pages and I really like the fact that there are not many adverts. Each month the magazine features ... more

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant Value, Inspiring, Plenty of variety

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Probably aimed for women more than men

    This op/review is based on the slimming world magazine not the principles of the diet itself – I have assumed that you have a basic knowledge of these. Slimming World publishes a magazine every two months of which you can buy in the shops or at your slimming world club at a reduced rate. The rate in the shop is £2.35 but it is £1.50 in the club so you certainly save yourself a few pence buying it that way. I have bought this magazine for a while now and have never had a problem seeing it stocked in the shops, Tescos, WHSmiths, small local newsagents etc although I buy it at the meeting now as ... more

The Magazine is split up into five main sections: 1) Real Life Success stories Here we read of Slimming World members who have successfully lost weight following the Slimming World plan. Typically there are 6 full length stories, each one covering three full pages of the magazine. Each story shows a before and after photograph and the slimmer reveals exactly ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages little over the top with the advertising

    I previously did a review on Slimming World complaining about how i felt cheated about the fact they had changed their Syns system. Well here is a review of the Magazine (not the diet), It comes out every 2 months and will put you back £2.25 - which is really quite good - they obviously dont want to rip us off every month like some slimming magazines - they wait and gather the revelavant info for their slimmers and deliver it when ready. A good quality mag which does unfortunately go a little over the top with the advertising and real life success stories. On the whole though an enjoyable read ... more
