Six of the best Slimming World blogs to give you inspiration

Stuffed yourself over lock down and need to lose a few pounds? Here are some of the best Slimming World blogs to give you inspiration.

As a member of Slimming World, I find the extra access you can get to the SW website really useful. However, there are quite a few very good Slimming World blogs as well – written by people who are in the midst of their own personal Slimming World journeys – so I have been checking them out. It seems I am not alone in finding the Slimming World approach very helpful for losing weight. Here they are, in no particular order!

Six of the Best Slimming World Blogs

Twochubbycubs.combest Slimming World blogs

I really enjoyed reading twochubbycubs.com. It is so funny! The main writer, James, has clearly missed his vocation as a comedy writer.

As well as making me laugh all the way through (and who doesn’t need a laugh when they are on a diet?), there are over 500 delicious looking Slimming World friendly recipes too.

They also have a book available* if you prefer your recipes in paper form.

Pinch of Nom

Pinch of Nom is one of the best known and popular blogs for slimming inspiration. Someone seems to mention it almost every time I go to my SW meeting.

It’s all about the food, with recipes so popular they are now available in book form*. The feature I particularly liked was that you could search by type of food, occasion, dietary requirement, etc. They have a lot of dupes of well known junk food brands and takeaways.

What I didn’t like was the way the recipe pages are set out. You have to wade through so many links and photos that don’t relate to the recipe you want to make before you can get to the instructions.

The KFC Rice Box looks amazing, and I plan to make it. However, it is an illustration of what I mean about having to wade through so much stuff and I was wishing they would just get to the point!

Slimming Eats

Slimming Eats is run by a Londoner now living in Canada. They don’t have Slimming World clubs in Canada, but you can still join online, which is exactly what Siobhan did. She has turned the passion for cooking and food, which she says probably caused her to pile on the pounds in the first place, into a blog full of recipes, meal plans, advice and tips.

As regular readers will know, I always plan our meals as it saves time and money. So for me, the meal plans on Slimming Eats were particularly interesting.

Slimming World Survival

I really like the detail on slimmingworldsurvival.com. There is a lot of information and shopping lists on SW friendly foods and their syn values from UK supermarkets. Super helpful!

There are sections for vegetarians, vegans, lactose intolerant types such as myself and for those who need to eat gluten free.

For when you are out and about there is a big list of syn values of foods from places such as McDonald’s and Greggs, as well as information on low syn cakes and snacks.  The recipes look good too.

This is a really useful website run by Emma, who created the blog to keep herself on track whilst she lost 20 lb.

The Slimming World Foodie

It was the SW friendly slow cooker dishes section that first caught my attention on the Slimming World Foodie blog. I love just throwing food in the slow cooker in the morning and coming home to delicious smells wafting from the kitchen.

I will definitely be trying the slow cooker pulled pork and will let you know how it turns out.

Pip, who writes the blog, says she is primarily concerned with healthy eating, although all of her recipes are SW friendly.

Fat Girl Skinny

Another of best Slimming World blogs I found is Fat Girl Skinny, written by Kirsty. She has obviously experimented a bit as she also includes information about Weight Watchers and the 5:2 diet.

There are useful shopping lists for those sticking to SW, loads of recipes and a ton of useful posts offering advice and information, such as this one detailing top tips for weight loss success from both Kirsty and her readers.

Most of the site is updated regularly, and it is another useful resource.

I hope you enjoyed my list of the best Slimming World blogs to give you inspiration on your weight loss journey. Are there any I have missed?

    I ate, drank and was merry, and tomorrow I shall diet! 😀
    Well, ok, I’ll probably start in a week or so, once the leftovers have been eaten!

    There’s another Slimming World blog called Slimming World Secrets. As well as my personal journey to Target (and beyond) in the blog, there are features on things like the various awards, and Syn-Free Feasts, such as a Big Mac Meal and a Five-Cheese Cheeseboard – all for zero Syns.

    Love this roundup. I follow a couple of these already, and they really do help when you need new meal ideas or just a bit of motivation. I’ve also found some similer tips on the SheMed’s blogs, really handy for simple tips alongside Slimming World. sometimes it’s those small changes that make the biggest difference. Thanks for sharing these, I’ll be checking out the others too.

    Such a helpful list, thanks for sharing. I think it’s great seeing real people’s journeys and recipes. it makes sticking to Slimming World feel a lot less lonely. I sometimes look at SheMed’s blogs as well for extra health tips, and it ties in nicely with ideas from these blogs.
