How does Slimpod actually help you lose weight?
You probably already know what you should do to lose weight: eat a little less, snack less, choose healthier food and move more. The difficult part is doing those things consistently, because so much of what we do around food is driven by automatic habits, emotions and impulses. That’s the part Slimpod is designed to change.
Just nine minutes of listening a day uses Slimpod’s unique language system and subconscious priming to help healthier choices become more instinctive. As you begin to eat less, snack less and move more, your body can start using more of the energy it has stored as fat, turning changes in your mind into changes in your body and, ultimately, your weight.
How Slimpod works, step by step
1
Listen for just nine minutes a day
Each day, you listen to your Slimpod audio. Its unique language system combines carefully crafted wording, imagery and subconscious priming to help reshape the automatic patterns that influence how you think, feel and behave around food.
2
What you WANT to do begins to change
This is where you start to notice the difference. You may think about food less, feel satisfied with smaller portions, stop automatically reaching for snacks and find yourself naturally choosing healthier foods, or wanting to move more.
Instead of constantly trying to make yourself behave differently, healthier choices begin to feel more instinctive.
3
Your body responds, and the weight can start to come off
When you consistently eat a little less, snack less and move more, your body begins to use more of the energy it has stored as fat.
That’s how changes that begin in your mind can lead to changes in your body and, ultimately, your weight.
And because those everyday behaviours are becoming more natural rather than relying on willpower or rigid rules, they can be easier to sustain.

After three payments
Yours for life
Slimpod Gold is three monthly payments of £49. Once they’re made, the programme is yours to keep for life, with no ongoing subscription and nothing more to pay.
That's 40 days to see what Slimpod can do for you.
What people start to notice
As you keep listening, you might find that:
- you're not thinking about food nearly as much
- you don't automatically reach for a biscuit
- you feel satisfied with less on your plate
- you choose healthier food because you actually fancy it
- you even find yourself wanting to move more
Everyone’s different, and these changes build up gradually as you listen day by day.

Why Slimpod feels so different from dieting
If you’ve been on diet after diet, you’ll know how it goes. You follow the rules, the weight starts to drop, and then life gets busy or stressful and the old habits creep back in, bringing the weight with them. Please don’t blame yourself for that. Most weight-loss plans tell you what to do and then rely on willpower to make you do it, and willpower was never designed to last for months and years.
Slimpod works the other way round, by helping to change what you instinctively want to do. So you’re no longer fighting yourself at every meal, and the healthier choice starts to become the one you want to make.
That’s why I always say Slimpod isn’t a diet. There’s no calorie counting and no meal plan, and you won’t be handed a list of foods you’re never allowed to eat again.
And if your weight has crept up in midlife or around the menopause, when it can feel as though your body has changed all the rules, it’s worth knowing that Slimpod works on your eating habits, and those can change at any age.
★★★★★“After 25 years of yo-yo dieting I was in need of something different. I always lost the weight but eventually it would creep back on. This tackles your mind before your body which is the key to it all. 6 wks on I’ve lost a stone & more importantly for a woman in her early 50s in menopause my physical health has improved & my blood pressure is down ( an issue I’d had since menopause started). I’m sticking with it, although personally sticking makes it sound like a chore, when actually it’s a more like supportive buddy.”Sheila, Slimpod member, via Trustpilot

Tested in a clinical trial and tried by NHS staff
The clinical trial
The Slimpod audio has been tested in a small randomised controlled trial of 82 adults, carried out by a researcher at City University London. Over 24 weeks, people listening to Slimpod lost an average of 9.5lbs, compared with about 2.6lbs for a group who listened to a relaxation recording. The results were presented at the British Journal of General Practice research conference in 2020.
In the NHS
When Slimpod ran a three-month project with 100 staff at Tameside hospital in Manchester, 87% of them lost weight and 97% said they had stopped snacking. The project helped the hospital win an NHS Sustainability Award.
"The Slimpod weight loss method is both profound and life changing."
Created by Sandra Roycroft-Davis
I’ve spent more than 20 years working in behaviour change, helping people transform their relationship with food. I’m a Harley Street behavioural change specialist and the author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Weight’s Over, Take Back Control, and I created Slimpod because I’d seen so many wonderful people blame themselves for diets that were never going to last.
Since 2010, more than 350,000 people have used Slimpod, and I KNOW it can help you too!

Your questions answered
What will I pay, and when?
Nothing for the first 10 days. If you decide to carry on after your free trial, you’ll pay three monthly payments of £49, and then the Slimpod Gold programme is yours for life with nothing more to pay. We’ll email you before your trial ends, so you’re never charged without knowing.
What if Slimpod isn't right for me?
You have 40 days to decide. Cancel during your 10-day free trial and you won’t be charged at all. If you’ve already made a payment, you’re covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee, so cancel within 30 days of your trial ending and we’ll refund what you’ve paid. You can cancel from your account or by contacting our friendly team.
Do I keep Slimpod once I've paid?
Yes. Once you’ve made all three payments, the programme is yours for life, and you can listen to it as often as you like for as long as you like.
Is Slimpod a diet?
Not at all. There’s no meal plan and no calorie counting, and you won’t be told any food is off limits. Slimpod works on the habits and instincts that drive your eating, so the healthier choices start to feel like your own idea.
I've tried every diet going. Why would this be any different?
Diets ask you to rely on willpower, which naturally runs out over time, and that’s why so many of us end up back where we started. Slimpod works on the automatic habits behind your eating, so you’re not fighting yourself every day. If you’ve dieted for years, you’re exactly the kind of person Slimpod was created for.
Can Slimpod help with weight gain around the menopause?
Lots of women find their weight creeps up in midlife, even when they haven’t changed what they eat. Slimpod works on the eating habits that are within your control, such as snacking and eating past the point of feeling full, and those habits can change at any age.
Can I use Slimpod if I'm taking weight-loss injections?
Yes. Slimpod can be used on its own, or alongside medication your doctor or pharmacist has prescribed. It’s designed to help you build healthier habits around food that you can keep going for the long term.
When should I listen?
Each evening, at a time when you can sit or lie back and listen without being disturbed. It takes nine minutes.
Ready to feel back in control around food?
Free for 10 days, with a 30-day money-back guarantee after that. Three payments of £49 and it’s yours for life.
