This happened several years ago & I fought Slim 4 life & they did nothing & I lost over $500 & left w/ an unbelievable amount of nasty snacks I was forced to purchase & then never allowed to eat. This is just a warning to never do this diet, all I wanted to do was lose 20 lbs & get down to 120. I eventually lost weight but on my own, not by Slim 4 Life. They are a big rip off -
I wanted to lose 20 lbs & they kept bragging how easy it was with Slim 4 Life so I went in. The tv ad was not what I paid after I went into Gladstone Office.
To lose 20 lbs, they told me it would cost me $500 + I had to purchase all the snacks to guarantee the weightloss. It would only take max 2 month if I was serious about my weightloss.
I went in for weight check a couple days of the week & wasn't losing any weight, my ankles swelled up & I gained weight. They immediately cut the snacks they told me I had to buy & reduced my calories & still no weight loss. They kept cutting my calories, still no weight loss. I was weak, not sleeping & hungry.
Suddenly I was coming into the office almost everyday & nothing. It was 4 weeks, I was starving to death, with horrible headaches all the time. I was hungry all the time & couldn't sleep. I had met w/ every single one of those hourly wage girls up there & they had no idea what to do w/ me. They'd measure me, weigh me & look at my ankles. I hurt, ached & was starving. Eating very small amounts of chicken & veggies.
At the sixth week I was miserable to be around, they had me down to like 900 calories & I weighed 140lbs when I went in & I still weighed the same. They even wanted me to wear the same clothes when I came in to be weighed so they could rule that out. But everytime my ankles were swelled up. I hurt.
I was crying & couldn't take it any longer & they told me to eat if I am hungry & I did. I went in & said I wanted my money back & they looked at my file & saw the red ink write ins I ate food not in the diet & they said I did not stick to the program & waived the warranty. Slim 4 life had starved me for over 7 weeks. They were not capable of providing a healthy weightloss program, lied to me & got away with it.
I quit the program at 138 lbs, swelled & in pain with severe headaches. I even spoke to a manager several time & they never gave me any of the guarantee money back. It didn't matter that they couldn't provide the program they advertised it was all my fault.
More than anything I am giving you an honest warning & those tv ads are lies or they were for me. I'm not over weight I just wanted to get rid of 20lbs & they never made it happen. Eat healthy watch your sodium, sugar & starches. It will make a difference & exercise.
Slim 4 Life risked my health over & over & lied to me. You can't live on 900+ calories a day without risk.
