There's changes afoot!

Slimming World has just posted its changes for 2026 - they are wide ranging and, I think, very positive.

The link above should be accessible for all but, just in case, in summary . . .

As and Bs are going - the terms are, I mean.  
We will still have healthy extra choices which will be

• calcium rich choices, e.g. milk and cheese
• fibre rich choices e.g. high fibre breads, etc
• and - something I am so pleased about - heart healthy fats and oils e.g. nut butters, seeds, avocado, olives and heart healthy oils

However, the devil's in the details and the actual amounts are not out yet.

The next change is that 'Syns' as a term is going - three cheers for that.
The alternative is a bit silly too - SWIPS - Slimming World's Individual Picks - but, hopefully, not as open to misinterpretation.  I wonder what YouTube captions will make of that.

What they actually are looks to remain the same apart from the healthy fats and oils.  

The third change is using a different language.

Food Optimising remains the same, as does SP (Speed/Protein) but Extra Easy is out as it's unnecessary.  So it will be Food Optimising or Food Optimising SP

Body Magic is going - thank goodness, such a silly term for exercise.  It's now becoming Slimming World's Active Lifestyle Programme.  A mouthful but avoids the dreaded E word that puts some people off.

Also gone is IMAGE Therapy, the name for the second half of each meeting.   It's now Slimming World's Support System.

I am sure all these will be abbreviated in time - I have no idea to what.

And there's a new logo . . . no idea what.

Everyone is getting a new Members' Book and magazine, website and App will start updating in December, ready for a January start.

I don't envy them that one little bit!!

So there we are.  Mostly very sensible, positive, and closer to current scientific understanding.  And the way I have been planning my meals for quite a while now.

(am I smug?)

But, as I said, the devil's in the detail and I'm looking forward to getting info about the detail.  

For now, I might change my planning to one A, one B and, for now, one C (the healthy fats) which I am assuming will be 120 calories' worth, like the As and Bs

And time will tell.
