Weigh to go, guys!

While men may traditionally been be reluctant to join a weight loss class, Scottish Slimmers have recently seen an increase in men joining their weekly classes throughout Scotland. It would seem that men are at last, seeking the support of groups in the same way women have done for years. Over 1,000 men currently attend our mixed classes every week and enjoy great success.

It is true that men traditionally feel self conscious about joining classes but when they are finally convinced to do so, the motivation stays strong and they are determined to lose weight.  In fact, our recent results show that our men achieve even more positive results than the female members.

To encourage men to seek motivation and support with us, Scottish Slimmers have recently introduced Men Only classes into our network and created a plan specifically with men in mind - The Man Plan.

 In the Man Plan, we’ve increased portion sizes of some of our most popular meals (chilli, sausage and mash, full breakfast, roast dinner).  Members can choose from this plan alone or mix and match with other positive eating meals.  Alcohol in moderation won’t prevent weight loss, so  The Man Plan guides men towards healthier choices while still allowing treats such as beer, wine, chocolate and chips in moderation.  The Man Plan isn’t about eating “rabbit food”, it’s about small changes in eating habits that can have a big effect on weight.

About Scottish Slimmers

Scottish Slimmers was founded as a local slimming class in Aberdeen in 1980. Based in Aberdeen, the company now exists as a network of over 800 weekly slimming classes, offering highly specialised and quality services to promote long-term, healthy, weight loss through nutritional advice and small positive changes in lifestyle and behaviour.

Our approach takes care of the body and the mind! Good food, healthy eating, motivation, inspiration, total support and encouragement lead to positive results. The same positive approach and knowledge members gain with us will ensure they achieve the weight loss they’re aiming for and, most importantly, allow them to maintain the weight once they’ve achieved it.
