They are very hands on

They are very hands on. Nothing like most services these days. The focus on repetition with the slimpod works for me. I definitely am not easily ‘hypnotised’, this is more focussed on suggestions and reassurances such as this is not a diet it is changing your whole mindset. Well so far it’s worked for me which is amazing in itself. Sandra and her team are always there to help and there is a very string community for further support

A refreshing ,different approach to weight loss

A refreshing ,different approach to weight loss. Not a diet but lots of support to change mind set to want to eat healthier, move more. I feel so much more relaxed around eating after decades of dieting. I joined because I was curious and dreaded the weekly weigh in at slimming club and was totally fed up with diet plans. I haven’t weighed myself but notice clothes are looser and I am feeling really happy and positive.

Early days but promising so far.

Slimpod has a very good website with good customer service.
I'm enjoying 'not being on a diet', but taking a slower, psychological approach to control my eating (or not eating) . The science, through Sandra's coaching videos and her book is very interesting and helpful.
I'm tempted to give it 5 stars, but I'm only on week 7, so I need to see where it takes me.
I'm hoping I'll learn how to eat like 'normal' people who don't get fat!

I’ve been using SlimPod for the past two months...

I’ve been using SlimPod for the past two months and it’s honestly made such a positive difference to my relationship with food. One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is that I no longer pick at food in the evenings, which used to be a real habit for me.

I feel much calmer and more in control around food now. Without really forcing it, I’ve naturally started eating less and making healthier choices, which feels sustainable rather than restrictive.

What I really like about SlimPod is how gentle and mindset-focused it is — there’s no pressure, just gradual changes that actually stick. It’s been a really encouraging experience and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a more balanced and relaxed approach to food.

Feeling optimistic

I started using Slimpod with cautious optimism and it’s only been a few weeks but I certainly notice a difference in the amount of food noise in my day. It’s like eating has quietly taken a bit of a back seat and I now have more headspace for getting on with life.

I don’t feel as if I’m missing out, more like I am gaining a great freedom

Slimpod has really gently but meaningfully changed my thoughts about food and my cravings for food at times of stress. It has interrupted the unconscious hand to mouth eating and, most importantly to me, doesn’t make me feel as if I am missing out on anything. I feel like I can trust myself again around food to make the right choices for how I want to feel - have energy to be in my life without feeling overly full or heavy. I have lost weight but what I am enjoying is the freedom from wanting food. I’m excited about where it can take me next.

Signing up to Slimpod was a light bulb moment

Signing up to Slimpod was a light bulb moment. Being on various diets and eating regimes most of my adult life but never being able to sustain long term weight loss. Slimpod is ridiculously easy, I can’t tell you how it just makes sense and the support available is incredible. I only wish I discovered it sooner.

Not a “quick fix” but incredibly effective

If you are looking for a “quick fix” then this is probably not for you. I was incredibly sceptical but then decided to do the free trial and see how it goes. I have continued with the programme because, while I previously knew what I should be eating, it didn’t always work out. Now I find that I am instinctively choosing healthier options and eating smaller portions. I have only lost 8Kg so far (7 weeks in) but that is OK. I’m aware that changing the habits of a lifetime takes time. I’m feeling much fitter, moving more, eating healthily and my clothes are getting looser. Well worth it!

Great programme, tech is lacking.

I’m enjoying the programme (I think I’m about Week9) and have noticed real changes in the way I think about food and my sweet tooth has quietened down a lot. I do feel like my shape has changed, but I’m avoiding the scales as the programme recommends. The community is really supportive, and the coaching videos have some real lightbulb moments. The only thing letting this down is the site, and in particular the pod player. The whole success of the programme rests on listening to pods every night, yet the repeat/timer often fails, and it’s only if I’m still awake I realise. Technical support has been very poor - despite filling a form in I never heard from the tech team, and customer services never checked in again to see if it was resolved. I feel that with the numbers of podders, it is probably time to invest in a proper app. I also didn’t get a reply to an email I sent last week. So yes, programme is good and I feel it’s working, but customer services/tech support has been disappointing.

Slimpod is Life Changing!

Slimpod has been life changing for me! If I try to sum it up in one word - FREEDOM comes to mind, freedom from things and freedom to things. I love that it’s not about food or dieting - it’s about changing from within: mindset, healing past habits, self belief and positive outlook to name a few. The whole programme offers support and encouragement every step of the way. I’ve been on the programme for 8 weeks and I’m down a clothes size, doing some kind of movement every single day and becoming so much more confident around food. I love it and would encourage those of you thinking of joining to just do it - you won’t regret it 😊

Doesn't work for everyone - Very disappointing

I started this maybe about six months ago. Approached with a positive attitude. Watched all the videos, listened to the podcast religiously every night for months. A lot of what Sandra says makes sense. But I already know myself what my issues are that have led to weight gain. Illness and menopause. I am aware of what and why I eat. I didn't lose anything at all. I still felt like I am relying on will power and meal planning. Maybe I noticed more when I was full but that was it. If I ate when I wanted to as they suggested I would eat ridiculous amounts.

I paid extra for the follow on community but that was a waste of money. No one went on the paid for community. When I raised this I was told it was a technical issue at my end and there were lots of posts, not true. Yet the free community was busy.

They did offer me a free consultation but I would just be polite and still think this isn't working.

The upshot is it doesn't work for everyone.

Cancelled after 9 days

I had hoped for better adter reading the 5 starreviews and some of my own research.
I used the free 10 day trial. I had hoped for better in the second week. But no, you get Coaching videos and 'pods' to listen to. There were I think 5 'coaching videos' in week 2 which I had listened to in an hour! There were lots of, comments in the videos of 'slimod members find that...' and 'slim pod can help you to...' which i found annoying as though justifying themselves, without much substance. I also found the lady difficult to listen to as she grated on me.
Cerainly no Masssives insights here. It is simply how to eat well, not processed foods etc etc.

The 2 pods were short and not helpful lasting less than 10 mins each. With no new pods added in week 2. They tell you its best to listen before bed and its good if you fall asleep. But then they count to 5 to wake you up! The pods kept stopping half way through no matter what I did. I was hoping for better for £150 which by the way you have to pay the full amount to get life time access. Its £150 but split into 3 payments.

When i went to cancel my subscription I was asked did i really want to cancel, then again, did I want to stay for 20%off, then again was I sure! If I wasn't before Iam now after that pressure to stay!

This may be good if you have no idea of nutrition or what a healthy lifestyle looks like. But I could not see anything that would give real ground breaking insights into comfort eating that I did not already know. Basically its bad for you and eat more fruit,veg and fibre!

Hi there Willow, I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel that Slimpod is the right weight loss programme for you.
The Slimpod, which you get access to from the beginning of the free trial, is the pod that you need to listen to daily throughout your full journey to transform your relationship with food and lose weight. The other pods support this journey, and it's important that the Slimpod has some time to get to work before adding more pods into your playlist.
The pods aren't like podcasts that you listen to actively, but instead play in the background. They're deeply relaxing so we do suggest it can be helpful to listen while you fall asleep, but this isn't required. So, if listening before bed wasn't right for you, then you can absolutely listen at other times of day. The only times you can't listen to your pods are while operating heavy machinery like driving a car.
Slimpod doesn't give an eating plan, so is great for people who know what healthy eating looks like, but may struggle to maintain those healthy habits long term, and maintain weight loss long term. Slimpod nudges your subconscious towards those healthy habits, so you can do just that - maintain and sustain your habits and weight loss long term.
We'd be very happy to chat further, and if you'd like to, please email customerservices@thinkingslimmer.com.

Slimpod is truly unique

Slimpod is truly unique! It is helping me understand myself , why I over eat , why I emotionally eat, what is at the root of my weight issues. It is like starting a fully immersive course for life with thousands of amazing supporters rooting for you and supporting you. There are tonnes of excellent informative coaching videos, notes , tips , challenges and constant encouragement you have to use for life. No shame or guilt or scales . It feels like a personal positive psychology class. It’s very slow for me but it’s real so I know it will last . I have just started my seventh week and it has already become a big part of my life and I love it ❤️

I think Slimpod is a user friendly program and whilst I believe in its concept, at 8 weeks in, the results are minimal for me.
That said, I rarely eat between meals anymore and that alone makes me believe that this program is working at some level.

The best way ever!!!

Oh no! Another “Slim “thing to try was my initial thought. Something else I will get upset about not complying with. How wrong I was!!! This is about the science, unravelling your old thought patterns and making new ones. This is what I have been craving for years. I knew that diets do not work . I gave up dieting years ago . Slimpod is a fantastic way forward . To understand the process of how we have been processed by society is mind blowing. Listening to the Slimpod every night is the best thing I have ever done for my weight loss. Backed by science with years of experience and support I am looking forward to my new changed life.

A Five Star Experience……

I’ve been using Slimpod for the past eight weeks and it has genuinely changed the way I think about food. Instead of focusing on strict diets, calorie counting, or feeling guilty about what I eat, Slimpod has helped me develop a much calmer and more natural relationship with food. The daily pods are easy to fit into my routine and have helped shift my mindset in a really positive way. I’ve noticed that I’m making better choices without feeling like I’m forcing myself, which feels incredibly freeing compared to traditional dieting.

What I love most is how sustainable it feels. There’s no pressure or sense of failure if things aren’t perfect—just gradual, positive change that builds over time. After six weeks I already feel more in control, more aware of my habits, and much more confident that this approach will last long term. If you’re tired of restrictive diets and want something that supports real mindset change, I would absolutely recommend giving Slimpod a try. It’s been a five-star experience for me so far.
