  Diabetics affects one in three families in Ireland, so it’s no surprise that we have lots of Unislim members who either have the condition or are undiagnosed as having type 2 diabetes.  Evidence shows that moderate exercise and weight loss can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58% in groups of people who are in the high risk category.  This is really positive news as not only does our Unislim plan encourage moderate exercise and gradual weight loss, but our focus on Low-GI foods is also proven to have a positive effect on controlling the condition. Keeping blood sugar levels stable is very important for people with diabetes and the Unislim program encourages you…

In May 2012 Unislim celebrate our  40th anniversary as Ireland's leading slimming and health club. In 1972 my mother, Agnes McCourt took her very first Unislim class and she went on to create a successful Irish brand from her own weight loss journey and a dream to help as many people as possible become fitter, healthier and slimmer. Back then, we were all about the flared trousers, disco dancing, big hair and monster side-burns (and that was just the men!) and life's little luxuries we take for granted today didn't even exist. I remember popping over to our neighbours house and being mesmerized by their new colour television set and as for computers and mobile phones? Well, let's just say, life was very different! Having a 'working-mum' back then wasn't the norm, so in many ways my mother was a true pioneer of her day.  As kids we helped out LOTS and I remember weekends assisting my parents to post out 'weekly talks' to the leaders which were typed (painstakingly) by my mum without a typo or mistake and then duplicated by hand (we didn't even have a photocopier then!) and sent out to all our leaders around the country. Today of course, it's a quick email, a push of the button and hey presto, life is quicker and more efficient, thankfully. Now that we are celebrating our 40th birthday we have lots of great things for our members to look forward to.  First off, our new look and feel special 40th anniversary edition of our Unislim magazine will inspire you with success stories of 'Slimming through the decades!' To help with this bumper issue, we are on the lookout for Unislim members who joined a class and reached their Target Weight in the 70’s, 80’s 90’s 00’s & right up to today – if you fall in either of these decades we want to hear from you!  Or if you know of anyone else who does please pass this on. Simply email your before & after photo’s, with your name, contact number, class you attended, class leader and which decade you joined Unislim and we will select 5 lucky members to take part in this fabulous photoshoot and makeover. Please email us at info@unislim.com You must be available to come to Dublin for a photoshoot (dates to be confirmed) and you must be at your Target Weight! I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you then. In the meantime, keep healthy and be happy. Love Fiona xx PS. Here's a pic of me and my mum

Get your morning munch. I love my breakfast! Even during the school week when the house is manic getting the kids out, preparing packed lunches and feeding our cat while simultaneously checking facebook (don't we all do that!??) and thinking about what to wear, I still love the ritual of sitting down and enjoying the first meal of the day. And when it comes to the weekends, it's a lazy affair over a pot of coffee, the newspapers and lots of FREE Unislim goodies such as poached eggs with beans and mushrooms. Yummy.So when Nestle Cereals invited me along to a breakfast launch to celebrate their latest new breakfast cereal I naturally filled up on a bowl of hot porridge first and headed straight to the Residence on a full tank of fuel. Mind you, that didn't stop me from enjoying another small bowl of their delicious new FIBRE1 which promises to deliver  30% of my daily fibre needs in just one bowl (so that's 2 servings of carbs down so far!). Munching breakfast soon tuned to gossip and Nestle's latest survey findings where Brian O'Driscoll proved a popular choice as the most popular Irish celebrity people would most like to share a bowl of Fibre1 with. And no surprise here, George Clooney himself came out on top. My verdict: Fibre1 passed on taste with lots of crunchy goodness, a touch of honey and sliced almonds in a bowl. Plus sharing it with George Clooney ... ahem... need I say more!! And let's not forget it delivers a tasty, easy fibre boosting solution to our needs first thing in the morning.And you can grab your very own FREE FIBRE 1 full sized box by registering online before 9th March to claim your very own FREE box worth €3.69. So please register and Happy Munching! Fiona xx
