Unislim started when Agnes McCourt wanted to lose weight after
having her third baby. She gathered a few friends together and, over
the weeks, the group cheered and motivated each other towards success.
Word spread about Agnes’ slimming club, and so in 1972, together with
her late husband Brian, Unislim was established.
Unislim is Irelands longest running slimming and health organization
with hundreds of weekly meetings organized by a team of 180 class
leaders.
Still a family-run business, with Agnes daughter Fiona Gratzer at
the helm, the Unislim programme is based on a healthy, nutritious
eating plan combined with increased exercise. Members are encouraged to
make healthy lifestyle changes and are motivated and encouraged by our
leaders to achieve real results.
Our plan combines the best scientific know-how on the Glycaemic
Index (GI) with our unique units system, which measures foods in units
depending on their calories, fat and fibre content. This system is
simple to manage and effective, offering you a flexible slimming
programme to fit your lifestyle.
