Our philosophy
Slimtrack will help you reach your ideal weight by providing you with effective online tools based on proven scientific principles. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, no harmful short-term diets.
Slimtrack is a collection of free online weight management tools especially set up for South African slimmers. Registration is QUICK and FREE, there are no hidden costs and you can start within minutes.
All these tools and functions are based on a fundamental principle: In order to lose weight, your body must consistently take in less energy (measured in kilojoules or calories) through eating and drinking than it burns up through physical activity.
This implies A NEW WAY OF LIFE that is healthy, scientifically sound and sustainable. To achieve this new way of living, Slimtrack offers you:
• The tools to create your own personalised weight-loss profile. This is based on factors including your current weight, your target weight and the rate at which it would be healthy for you to lose weight. From this, Slimtrack calculates a clear target on which your “body budget” should balance every day and over time. By regularly recording your weight in your profile, you can also see a graph of your progress as well as draw nutritional and other more advanced reports.
• An easy-to-keep online food diary. Once a day (or even after every meal or drink), simply search each consumed item or dish from our extensive list of South African foodstuffs and beverages. Every item you select is automatically added to your food diary, together with its nutritional information. All information is available every time you log in to Slimtrack, which means no paperwork and no hassle. Keeping such an accurate food diary has been proven to be crucial for sustained weight-loss success.
• An online exercise diary. This is as easy to use as the food diary. Choose from an extensive list of physical activities that varies from gym exercises to working in the garden or climbing a set of stairs. Every item you select is automatically added to your exercise diary for the day together with the duration of the exercise as well as how many kilojoules (or calories) your body has burned up in the process.
• Access to our Community Forum, where you can ask for advice or information and find inspiration or motivation from like-minded slimmers at any time of the day.
