SlimShape completely transformed the way I approach weight loss. The plan was so easy to follow, and I loved all the meals!

Thembi K.
Lost 8kg

I’ve tried many diets, but this is the only one that felt like it was made for me. SlimShape kept me on track with meals I enjoyed! Even my weekly braai fitted right in.

Tarryn L.
Lost 6kg

The shopping list made things so simple, and I never had to worry about what to eat next. I’ve lost 10kg in 4 weeks! It’s been easier than dodging taxis in Joburg traffic.

Linda J.
Lost 10kg

SlimShape’s 4-week plan was exactly what I needed. My meals were delicious and I felt healthier and happier by the end of it! Now I can keep up with my kids at the park.

Vivienne F.
Lost 7kg

As a busy professional, I never thought I’d find time for a proper diet. SlimShape made it effortless! The meals are quick to prepare and absolutely delicious.

Emma R.
Lost 5kg

I was skeptical at first, but SlimShape proved me wrong. I’ve not only lost weight but also gained so much energy. I feel like I could climb Table Mountain every day!

About Joanne

Founder of SlimShape

I’ve been stuck between 65kg and 142kg more than eight times.

I’m Joanne — 29, a mom, a wife, and the person behind SlimShape. I’ve always struggled with my weight. Food is my comfort and my love language, and I’ve lost and gained the same kilos over and over again — roughly 65kg to 142kg, more than eight times.

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re “eating well” and still not see the scale move. I know the guilt after a long day. I know starting over in January… and again in March.

I’m not a dietitian. I’m not here to judge your plate or sell you a fantasy body. I build preference-based meal plans — by diet style, budget, and what you actually like — so food can still feel like home.

I want SlimShape to be a safe space: honest chat, real SA meals, no shame spiral. From 1 August we’ll also have a WhatsApp group where we can talk and share without the diet police.

Photo coming soon — real founder, no stock imagery.

Meal plans, keto & weight loss questions (SA)

Straight answers for Google, AI assistants, and real humans.

How does SlimShape work?

Choose a diet style (keto, low carb, balanced, vegan, etc.) and email us your food preferences, budget, and anything you want to avoid. We prepare a 4-week preference-based meal plan with recipes and a shopping list for South African shops, and send it to your inbox. Plans are based on preferences — not on weight, height, or medical assessment.

Do you offer keto meal plans in South Africa?

Yes. SlimShape offers a keto-style 4-week meal plan with SA-friendly ingredients, recipes, and a shopping list. Order by email at info@slimshape.co.za. It is a lifestyle meal plan based on diet style and preferences — not personalised clinical nutrition.

What meal plans do you offer for weight loss?

We offer preference-based 4-week meal plans in balanced, keto, low carb / Banting, vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian styles — designed for real South African kitchens (PnP, Woolies, braai-friendly options). Structured menus can support healthier eating; they are not a medical weight-loss programme.

Is this medical or dietitian advice?

No. SlimShape meal plans are general lifestyle products based on diet style and your preferences. They are not personalised clinical nutrition, not medical advice, and not a substitute for a registered dietitian or doctor. If you have a medical condition or need clinical care, please speak to a qualified professional.

Do you need my weight and height?

No. We never use weight, height, or BMI to create your meal plan. Those details only appear in our free educational weight-loss calculator, which is a separate tool and is not used to build plans.

What do I get for the price?

For R149 (once-off) you get a 4-week meal plan matched to your chosen diet style and preferences, with recipes and a practical shopping list for SA shops.

How do I pay and order a meal plan in South Africa?

Our online shop and card checkout are coming soon. For now, email info@slimshape.co.za with the plan type you want (e.g. keto, low carb, vegan) and your preferences. We’ll reply with payment details in ZAR and delivery timing.

What’s the WhatsApp group?

A private community space launching 1 August 2026 — to share wins, slip-ups, recipes, and “why isn’t this moving?” days without shame. Email us to get on the list before launch.

Can I customise the food?

Yes — within your plan style. Tell us what you love, what you hate, allergies to avoid, budget, and how many meals a day you prefer. That’s the customisation we offer.

Where are you based?

SlimShape is a South African brand. Plans are written for SA food shops and everyday cooking. Support is by email at info@slimshape.co.za.

Are recipe books available?

Recipe ebooks are coming soon in the shop. Meal plans are available to order by email now.
