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!

Reply from Slimpod

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.

Honest review

Honest review:
I had access for 10 days so of course I wasn't expecting results in that time.
For me the pod recordings are poor quality, poorly cut together (which is distracting), they're VERY short (8 mins) and it's suggested you fall asleep to them each night but then the recording ends with a countdown from 5 to wake you up 🙄
I can't review whether it works or not, but the issues with the pod recordings put me off (considering that's the main part).
I have found lots of free sleep weight loss hypnosis on Spotify which are much better quality than slimpod.

Hi there Victoria, thanks for sharing your Slimpod experience so far. There are no cuts or breaks in the pods at all, so we'd love to email you to chat about this further.
The pods are deeply relaxing, so can help lots of people to fall asleep, but you don't have to fall asleep to them, or even listen at night. You can listen at any time of day except while operating heavy machinery.
As I've mentioned, we'd love to speak further about your review so please email our tea as customerservices@thinkingslimmer.com.

I have been a Slimpodder for 7 weeks now and hand on heart , slimpod has changed my life. I call it a "thawing out" process. Ive been holding on too alot of deep emotional moments from my past and since using slimpod, my heart has softened and ive finally come to feel safe within myself and reclaim parts of me i had buried deep in my subconcious. My emotional eating has ceased, my inner banter is changing and i truly feel whole. Nga mihi Janine N ( NZ)

Might work if you are very overweight

This program might work well if you’re significantly overweight and new to nutrition, especially if your diet is heavy on ultra-processed foods. The app is full of success stories from people in that situation.

But if you already eat well—like I do, with whole foods 80% of the time and the occasional biscuit, cake, glass of wine etc - it’s probably not for you.

Even when I asked for personalized advice, all I got were generic tips: “eat whole foods,” “move more,” and “stop when full.” For someone who already knows the basics, this feels condescending, especially if you’ve studied NLP, taken personal development courses, or used visualization techniques before.

I followed the program strictly for nearly a year, with zero weight loss. Instead, I wasted a huge amount of time (yes, it’s VERY time consuming) and money, and it took a real toll on my mood—especially since I’d recently had knee surgery and couldn’t exercise as usual. The constant effort with no results left me feeling depressed, which is unlike me. I wish I’d quit sooner.

When I finally cancelled, I suggested they clarify that the program may not be effective for those with just a few kilos to lose. It would be more honest.

UPDATE: I asked to cancel and requested no further contact, but they still emailed me the same tired advice. Despite explaining that I’d followed everything for a year with no success, their response was just more of the same: “Eat whole foods, exercise, listen to the recordings, watch the videos.” "Email customer service for help". You can see from their response they aren't listening. It’s frustrating and starts to feel a little like brainwashing to be asked to keep engaging when they clearly aren’t listening and keep repeating the same thing. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Do not weigh yourself and you will succeed

There are so many facets to Slimpod which will appeal to many people. The one thing that really helped me was telling me not to weigh myself. This came as a shock as I have always done that and, if the weight went up, I would go into a bit of a downward spiral and often got disheartened and gave up with the diet. The other thing is that you can do the program at your own pace and are told not to feel guilty if you miss out a day or two. This has really suited me. The calming audio pod player is a wonderful way to get to sleep and does seem to change my thinking about food. I only wish I had done this years ago. Feeling so good about myself and have so much more energy since starting.

I signed up for the 10 day free trial

I signed up for the 10 day free trial. I found the app clunky and cheap and difficult to get set up. In this day and age downloading an app from app store would be easier, I asume it's less expensive for them this way, thats how it feels. The production level was like something I'd put together in my bedroom. When one is used to high quality apps these days, this was poor and didnt inspire confidence. There are 2 pods to listen to and says the next ones will be released in week 7 ........... I canceled it after I signed up. They offered a 20% discount if I stayed which I declined and it then went onto cancel with no issue. The marketing on Instagram was what made me investigate more which was good, they need to have a more polished product in my opinion.

Hi there John, I'm sorry to hear how you've felt about our 10 day free trial. Our app is designed to be as inclusive as possible, so the greatest number of devices can access Slimpod as possible. All of the audio and video content in our programme has been created in professional studios, and we're sorry to hear that didn't come across for you.Our pods are a clinically proven weight loss tool and although you've cancelled your free trial, you can still listen to those for the remainder of that trial, if you'd like to find out if Slimpod can transform your eating and relationship with food so you can lose weight sustainably, and keep it off for good.

I came across Slimpod after having failed at yet another diet .
I was skeptical but their 30 day money back guarantee and their many positive reviews convinced me to give it a try.
I am so glad I did.
After just a few days of listening to the recorded message I felt a change in my eating behavior.
While before cake and chocolate would have been irresistible, all of a sudden I was as able to just forget about them. I was able to say No - without effort.
I'm on week seven and can fit into clothes that I haven't been able to wear in a while. I feel really good.
I enjoy listening to the Slimpod every night and love how it makes me fall asleep.
I watch the coaching videos and write down my three wins every day. I have also watched a couple of the zoom meetings.
What I love the most about Slimpod? The constant thinking about food has disappeared and with that comes a new freedom.
After 40 years of yo yo dieting it means the world to me .
Thank you to Sandra and her team!
