How does slim.in work?

Weight loss groups
The norm in Western countries
In the West, where obesity has been a problem for much longer, weight loss groups are the norm. In a small country like UK, 19,000 groups meet every week!

Testimonials
“Slim.in has been an amazing learning experience. As I keep telling Navin, he should charge me twice since both my wife and I benefit from
lifelong learning this has given me. By learning mindful eating, I have actually started enjoying food even more. The session on nutrition labels was an amazing eye opener. That was all the more surprising given that one of my businesses does nutrition value testing for food products.

When I first saw the slim.in insert in the newspaper it intrigued me a lot but honestly had no idea how beneficial it would turn out. I’m really glad that I joined this group and the results are already showing, the best part is that I have been able to lose 3 kgs in approximately 3 months and with very simple but sustainable changes not only in how / what I eat but in my overall lifestyle!!

The group support within slim.in is really helpful. Watching and planning what to eat can be tiring. Attending slim.in gives me a plan for the next week along with energy to execute it. It helped me stick to my diet at a time when I am really busy with my child's exams. Normally my diet would be the first thing to go out of the window. The information given is spot on. And so is their understanding of what can go wrong and how to prevent/correct it

FAQs
You should start seeing results from week one. However, there is no end point to the intervention. You can be on slim.in for long as you wish. You can even leave after the free month if you feel confident that you can follow the diet plan without our help.
Given that you are trying to change behaviours that have been a part of your life for many, many years, it is recommended that you stay on for atleast 6 months to get sustainable results.
When we launch, we offer the first month for free. After that, we charge Rs. 2,500 per month.
We are currently focused on Mumbai. However, we do not need a lot of infrastructure to launch in a city. If you know a venue that can seat 20 people, please let us know. We will try our best to reach there soon. As we have said, the first month is free at launch.
Yes! We will cover the basics so you can be a part of the group. In fact, it is a great opportunity to learn from the “senior” members of the group. Just drop in. If the experience is not to your liking, you do not have to pay.
App coming soon!
Our app allows tracking of 15,000 Indian recipes and 150,000 food products (like KFC, McDonalds, Haldirams, etc). The recipes can be customised by changing the amounts of ingredients to match what you actually add along with the weight of each ingredient in grams.
