Slimming World announces major change for 2026 as it says ‘goodbye’ to Syns
Popular weight loss plan makes major change
- Slimming World is implementing major changes to its diet plan, including the removal of the term 'Syns' and the formal integration of healthy fats.
- From January 2026, the word 'Syns' will be replaced by 'Slimming World Individual Picks' or ‘Swips’ for foods high in energy density.
- Healthy fats such as nuts, avocados, and seeds will be included as 'Healthy Extras', with members able to choose three portions daily.
- The update aims to make the plan more welcoming and align with current nutritional science, highlighting the health benefits of these fats.
- Managing Director Lisa Salmon explained that the changes address how language can be a barrier and ensure the plan remains effective for lasting weight loss.
