Be careful

This really wasn't for me. I found It difficult to engage with. The money had already come out by the time I got around to cancelling. Even when I said to customer service they just said pay for one more month!! I It was expensive and I've spent the best part of £100 with no refund.

Hi there Melanie, we offer a 30 day money back guarantee period, so if you cancelled during our 30 day money back guarantee period, we provide a refund automatically. If you were advised that you had one payment left to make, that means you cancelled outside of our refund period, so have been on the programme for more than 40 days. You can cancel at any time and don't need to make any further payments - you're not tied into any payment contract. I don't know your email address so can't check your order specifically. Can you please email customerservices@thinkingslimmer.com or respond to our request for information so we can provide help for specifically your order.

The slimpod experience is like nothing…

The slimpod experience is like nothing I have ever done before.
It is delivering as promised in so many areas. The support is amazing.
I am learning new things every day and enjoying the experience.
I have lost weight and am seeing mindset changes. At first it helped me to see the changes. Then has given me the tools to put change in place.

Hi there Sharon, thanks for sharing your Slimpod journey so far!

Happily shocked that it works!

Listening to the audio pods has really made a difference! At first I was skeptical since I’d tried so many different diets over the years and figured this one would disappoint me like the others and I wouldn’t stick to it, but what did I have to lose since it was a 10 day free trial. Well imagine my shock and happy surprise when it does work! Without even thinking about it I was eating less and making better choices! Not to mention sleeping 8-9 hours a night! It’s not a diet, not a lose it quick meal plan, but a new way of thinking about food (without really having to do much of anything). It works for me!

No change

I have been listening usually 2 times per day, mostly 5 days a week with no weight loss. I know that I think of weight, food constantly. I just still not making the right decisions I guess.

Finding it easy

I've really enjoyed listening to the pods and the food noise has got a lot quieter.

I love it all and it makes so much sense.
My only criticism is the format. I would prefer an app where it would be easier to find different segments instead of having to go through them all.

It works.

It works. I am much more aware of my hunger and full signal since I started slimpod but the most surprising thing for me is that I am finally moving more. I can hardly believe it. I had been wanting to go for walks for a while but never seemed to get around to it. Now I go out for a brisk walk around the park once or twice every day. Very happy!

Did not work for me

Did not work for me. I listened to the pods for weeks to no avail, despite other people reporting they got immediate results. The videos of the founder did not provide any new information. In my view, although they claim to not be diet-driven, they do not suggest anything different from any other weight loss application or program: eat fruit and veggies and exercise every day. The fact the woman appears in every video feels like the whole thing is more an exercise in self-promotion for her than actually providing a natural way to lose weight.

If you read the reply to my review, you will see all the same claims repeated and a tone that suggests I am too inept to understand how it is supposed to work or to follow the program properly. I stand by what I said: it did not work for me and it may or may not work for you, depending, I guess, on how open your subconscious is to repeated suggestions.

Hi there Hélène, I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling. Slimpod works by nudging your subconscious towards healthier choices and healthier habits naturally, so that you can develop lifelong habits. There is no food or exercise plan with Slimpod, and Slimpod isn't a diet, instead as I've mentioned above, the pods encourage healthier eating and habits. This may mean that you make changes to your eating which are like changes you've made before on traditional diets, but crucially these happen without willpower or feeling deprived. We'd love to offer you some support on your journey so please look out for an email for our team!

A great program so far, feeling very motivated

I have definitely noticed a difference in my food choices and exercise motivation.
I love the daily e-mails and weekly videos, they definitely motivate you and inform you so that you can make better choices. I also love how I don't feel like I want to give up if ( do decide to eat a packets of crisps or drink a bottle of wine. I just keep going, step by step.

Slimpod is grounded in science

Slimpod is grounded in science, but explained in everyday language that is easy to understand. Sandra is so warm and encouraging and the thing is it works! And that’s what makes it great !

If you want long term change-

I am looking at this as a long term project for me - and I think that the way this is constructed is very good for that.
I have found small changes already and will keep going until my eating patterns are working better for me and for my weight.
