Slim & Save ceased trading in 2023, after around 15 years in business. The remaining stock was sold to New You Plan, but they no longer manufacture Slim & Save products. If you were on the Simplicity or Lifestyle plan, Shake That Weight offers the closest equivalents — the Total Plan and the Everyday Plan — plus over 50 products, free UK delivery over £65, and the same kind of online support you're used to.

Slim & Save closed in 2023, after around 15 years trading from Stockton-on-Tees. The company said Brexit was the first major blow — most EU countries list milk-based products among items that can't be shipped in from the UK, which cut off a large part of their customer base overnight. A spike in orders during Covid gave the business a temporary boost, but demand fell away once lockdowns ended, and rising costs for packaging, shipping, manufacturing and advertising made the business unsustainable through 2022 and into 2023.
There is no successor to Slim & Save. Nobody holds the brand today, and no company has taken on the diet plan itself. If you're looking for "the new Slim & Save," the honest answer is that there isn't one — but the type of plan you were on, a very low-calorie, total or partial food-replacement diet, is exactly what we specialise in.
Not from Slim & Save itself — the company no longer trades. When they closed, Slim & Save had more than 500,000 packs of stock still in their warehouse, which was sold off to a competitor, New You Plan. New You Plan no longer manufacture the Slim & Save branded products, having moved to their own brand, so any Slim & Save shakes, soups or bars you find for sale today are from that same batch of 2023 stock. Meal-replacement products carry a best-before date like any other food, so if you do come across old stock, check the date on the pack before you buy. For a current, in-date alternative, our shakes and meals are made and despatched to order.
MyJurnee is free with every plan — a dietitian-led habit course and daily tools to help the weight stay off for good.
If you're choosing a new plan after Slim & Save, a few things are worth checking before you commit.
Nutritional completeness matters most on a very low-calorie diet — look for products fortified with a full spread of vitamins and minerals, not just protein and fibre. Check the calorie band suits what you're trying to achieve: a stricter total food-replacement plan for a fast, structured reset, or a more flexible plan if you want room for a cooked meal each day. Product variety counts too — four meal replacements a day gets repetitive fast if there are only a handful of flavours to choose from.
Beyond the food itself, look for UK-based despatch, so you're not waiting on international shipping, straightforward delivery costs, and some form of community or support — a forum, Facebook group or tracker — since very low-calorie diets are easier to stick to with other people doing the same thing.
Shake That Weight covers all of this, and if you came to Slim & Save by way of another plan, we've compared ourselves to Lipotrim, Cambridge Weight Plan and Exante too.
Here's how the two plans most people remember from Slim & Save compare with their closest Shake That Weight equivalents. The Slim & Save figures below are from their own published plan documentation, not their closing-down sale pricing.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Calories | ~650 kcal | 800 kcal | ~650 kcal | 1,000 kcal |
| Vitamins & minerals | 25% RDA per pack | 30%+ RDA per meal | 25% RDA per pack | 30%+ RDA per meal |

The Total Plan is the closer match if you were on Simplicity — same all-in structure, slightly higher calories. If Lifestyle was more your pace, the next section covers how Everyday compares, and why it isn't quite a line-for-line swap.

If you were on Simplicity — four packs a day, no cooking — the Total Plan is a clean swap. Same idea: four meal replacements a day, nothing else to think about, just at a slightly higher 800 calories rather than Simplicity's roughly 650.
If you were on Lifestyle — three packs plus a low-carb meal you cooked yourself — it's worth being upfront that the Everyday Plan isn't an exact match. Everyday gives you two meal replacements, one cooked meal and a 200-calorie snack, at 1,000 calories a day. That's a more generous allowance than Lifestyle's roughly 650, which means steadier weight loss rather than the faster pace you may be used to. If you'd rather keep closer to Lifestyle's pace, staying on the Total Plan and swapping one meal replacement for a home-cooked meal gets you nearer to the structure you had, at a similar calorie level.
Either way, two things work in your favour. First, calories: our 800-calorie Total Plan is the figure behind NHS DiRECT-style type 2 diabetes remission protocols — a higher allowance than Simplicity's, backed by that same clinical evidence. Second, nutrition: every Shake That Weight meal is fortified to 30%+ of your daily vitamins and minerals, against the 25% per pack you'd have had before.

We stock over 50 products across shakes, soups, bars, meals and breakfasts — more variety than most meal-replacement plans, Slim & Save included. If you're used to rotating flavours to avoid diet fatigue, that range matters.
Start with our meal replacement shakes, which cover the same ground as Slim & Save's own shake range, in a wider choice of flavours. Our bars, soups and ready meals fill in the rest of your four meals a day, so you're not eating the same thing twice in a row unless you want to.
Over 20,530 Shake That Weight customers have left a review, and we're rated 4.51 out of 5 on average. Here's what some of them say — including people who, like you, switched over after their old plan stopped trading.
"Service is excellent. I love the cheese and bacon omelettes. However, I tried the Shepherd's Pie. It is absolutely horrid! Bought 10 sachets and had to throw them away!!! Tastes disgustingly chemical. Couldn't even swallow the stuff!"
"Great product, shakes mixes well, just wish there were more gluten free dairy free options"
"I’m loving the plan so far and really works!"
"Would be nice if orignal choice of ready meals was restored "
"Really nice flavours of soups , shakes and porridge. I’m really enjoying them . Thanks "
"Absolutely love the products I actually look forward to my shakes and bars more than my actual meals now. "
Total if you want the Simplicity-style reset, Everyday if you want more flexibility day to day.
Mix shakes, bars, soups and ready meals, or build your own box from scratch.
