To celebrate 40 years of providing easy, doable weight loss, we commissioned research to better understand our modern relationship with time - the results were surprising!
 
We’re living in a sped-up world. We complete tasks much faster than we did 40 years ago, with the help of technology and machines within the home and the rise of services and apps to help us get what we want, quicker. For example, following the SlimFast Plan can help you save an hour every day!

This builds evidence for the idea that we ‘bank time’ through a collection of moments, minutes, even hours that save over the average week. These moments make up a metaphorical “25th hour” – the time we gain through moving faster and completing tasks quicker.
 
This should be an amazing bonus of a faster-paced life.  Yet, so many of us still feel time-hurried and rushed - sound familiar?
 
The problem, according to experts is that we’re not using our precious, saved moments to do the things we really like doing. Instead we’re wasting them on mundane tasks and chores. The trick, our experts say, is to consciously decide to spend our ‘extra’ moments in the day doing the things we love best, like spending time with our families and catching up on some sleep!
 
So if you agree with the statement “ I often use technology, services and apps that help me complete tasks quicker throughout my day” - Why not think about how you currently spend any extra pockets of time you have throughout the day;

• Catching up on emails/working

• Household chores

• Repeatedly checking social media!

• Spending time with children/loved ones

• Drinks with friends

• Cooking/preparing meals

• Doing some exercise/being more active

• Sleeping

• Spending time with your other half

 
 …and then think about how you would actually most want to spend them?
 
Why not let 2017 be the year that you claim that extra hour and give yourself time to do those things you wish you had more time for?
 
The SlimFast 3.2.1. Plan can save you up to an hour every day, compared to average times spent preparing meals, so why not give it a go and see what you could achieve?
