Product Features
Slim 4 Life is basically a weight loss program that’s geared toward men and women suffering from obesity. As opposed to incorporating diet pills and weight loss supplements, Slim 4 Life focuses on altering the individual’s way of eating permanently. Therefore the teaching of healthy eating habits, counseling, proper education and supervision are all part of the Slim 4 Life program. It is not stated on the official website how much Slim 4 Life costs. A free consultation is available via the website and a phone number is provided for new users to take Slim 4 Life up on this offer.
Advantages
- Slim 4 Life encourages “healthy” eating habits.
- Free nutrition consultation available over the phone for first-time users.
- Slim 4 Life is a weight reduction system offered to both women and men.
Disadvantages
- There are no appetite suppressants offered with the Slim 4 Life diet program.
- There is no stated price for the Slim 4 Life program on the official website.
- There doesn’t appear to be any substantial company background information offered on the website.
- The Slim 4 Life weight loss program would require a somewhat drastic lifestyle change, which may not be suitable for some individuals. (See reader comments.)
- There doesn’t appear to be any 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered on the Slim 4 Life website.
- Slim 4 Life only appears to have branches in only three areas, which are Denver Metro, Northern Colorado and Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Conclusion
On the bright side, the Slim 4 Life weight reduction program is unique in the sense that it doesn’t require users to remember to take pills. While this dieting system does encourage a specific way of eating/way of living, a few crucial aspects were left off of the official website. For example, often those looking to lose weight need extra help in the form of a appetite suppressant or a metabolic booster. It would certainly be nice to see some pricing for the Slim 4 Life program posted on the website, along with a 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee and some real background information on the company itself.
I may be different from all. My wife got in to slim for life three months ago weighing 153 LB. But now she is 116LB she really enjoys the food she is really energetic. So she loves it and she said it is worth paying the money. Because she tried south beach diet and all appetite suppresant pills which most of them deprive her sleep and reacting with medication which she used to take. So I may not agree with you in this matter.
But thank you for giving me the oppurtunity to express my opinion.

Wish I had read this page before I spent almost two thousand dollars on Slim 4 Life. I was on the program for aproximately three and a half weeks going to the store four times a week for weigh ins. I lost six pounds by drinking tons of water and taking there suplements which ending up making my heart race. I ended up in the Doctors office thinking I was having a heart attack. Believe me there is no money back guarantee. This turned out to be one big mistake…..

Slim 4 Life is a good program. They do teach you the essentials of eating healthy. However, the weight that you lose is great but, you may also be losing muscle since they do not incorporate working out into the program. You do take supplements such as a daily vitamin, essential fatty acids (fish oil) and an appetite suppressant they call the metabolizer not to mention the protein bars and shakes that run more than 10.00 a pop. I went from 158 to 135 in a short amount of time. Once, I hit 135 I plateaued miserably. I did all that they asked me to do and could not lose any more weight. I was basically told, they could not help me. I left Slim 4 Life and they still call me wanting me to come in. I work out now and still eat healthy but, I eat corn, carrots, and cheese. All of which is forbidden until you lose ALL the weight. I am happy and healthy and still am losing in a healthy way on my own..

I wish I had researched Slim4life more in depth than I did. I went by people raving about loosing weight rapidly, but they did not need to loose as much as I do. I went for one month and lost 11 pounds. Then I had a family member die and had to eat at the church. There was so much salt in the food that I gained. I did the “flush” and lost a pound. I then went on call at the hospital which totally blew my diet. (On call means that you respond ASAP and don’t always have time to prepare a meal. So you eat potluck.) When I returned to Slim4life office I was treated okay and they helped me get back on track. Then my doctor struck. He prescribed me a new medication and felt the herbs would be contraindicated with the med. When I told the center manager my doctor would not let me take the herbs any further, she responded with “You know if you don’t take all the herbs, you void the guarantee.” She was writing that the guarantee was voided as she was telling me the above statement. She was pushing away from the desk, stood up, and asked if there was anything further. I needed more bars, so as she was walking away from me, I tried to tell her I needed more. She turned around and said “What do you want.” I told and she left to get them.
I did not know I was going to insult her by relaying my doctor’s decision. However, my doctor knows more about drug interactions than she knows, so I have not returned. I have renewed my Weight Watchers membership.
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF SLIM4LIFE?
Thanks and to anyone considering Slim4life, hope you have a better result than I did.

I certainly do not agree with how you felt you were treated by the Slim for Life representative, as she should have maintained a professional attitude and responded to your needs with understanding,and explaniations, rather than insult. But on the other hand I would like you to know that most Dr’s will lead their patients away from natural herbal supplements, because then there would be no need for the prescriptions and Dr’s. The result would be that as people were leading a healthy lifestyle, taking care of their medical issues with herbals, the Drs industry would be negatively affected. I have used herbal supplements for many medical issues that I have encountered in my life with little to no side affects, I have been able to avoid the Dr Appointments and the prescriptions, with the long and distubing list of possible side affects that I may encounter which is longer and more damaging than the symptoms to the initial health issue I was encountering.
There are alternative solutions out there. I have several friends that have been very successful with the Slim 4 life plan as well as other plans that are availble. The internet is a great resource for research.

I would just like to know how the product work?Another thing is how much it cost to get started with the program?Is this something i could do without paying a large amount of money? What are the key elements to losing weight on this program? What makes this program different from the other programs out ?

I was on Weight Watchers for over a year and lost alot of weight but did not stick with it so I have gained half of it back. I just joined Slim 4 Life because you can talk to someone for support daily one on one instead of once a week in front of a large group. I have 80 pounds to loose adn it cost almost $700 for the weeks that I was told I would need to be on the program and the maintance. I will also need to spend about $250 a month on the other vits and bars that they suggest. While this is ALOT of money to me I feel that it beats paying it for percriptions for having high blood pressure, high colest, and heart problems later on if I don’t loose the weight now.
[Reply]
I’m thinking about joining Slimgenics. I have high blood pressure and high colest. Can you tell me what program they use for people with these conditions? I’m 54 yrs. old.

I started slim4life Dec. 31, 2008 – at that time I was 172 lbs and 5′8 1/2″ – before starting the program I was healthy (liver function test normal) – in this program which I stayed on for a full year I spent probably over $2000 with the initial amt of 550.00 and then the thermoboost powder that goes in the 80 oz of water I was drinking a day along with the thermosnacks that are required in this program. I did loose down to 133 lbs and really maintained at about 139 to 142 as the year finished out (2009) – however I began to show symptoms of something. Went to doctor and turns out that my liver has been affected and that something has brought this on – I do wonder if it was all of the thermoboost powder which I drank on a daily basis for the year along with the thermo snacks required during weight loss. If you have had a similar issue please respond back to me ASAP – I am unable to find out much since slim4life is now slimgenics and they no longer allow past participates to purchase product. I am interested in anything that might be similar to my situation.

I think that your liver not function normal may have something to do with the pills not the thermoboost. If you look in of the case it says not approved by FDA.
