Slim4Life will make the owners Rich4Life. They have my $600, and I have nothing. My doctor pulled me out of the program after two weeks because of the supplements. Also, I unexpectedly had to have surgery. So I had two medical problems to interfere. They refused to refund any money at all for unused services. I’m sure they had me legally, but circumstances sometimes call for compassion. They offered to put me “on hold,” but I am not permitted to use the supplements which are key to the program. My doctor’s note meant nothing. I no longer have respect for the organization.

I joined Slim4Life just one week ago and have already lost 11 lbs! I look forward to continued success!

The plan requires you to purchase 2 boxes of Thermosnacks each week. Full cost of 1 box is $16.99 however they offer various discounts each week. Do not buy during the hard sell at the beginning. The discounted price is not better than the offers/coupons that you get throughout the plan. All of the snacks are available at proteinshop.com at a MUCH CHEAPER cost (like $7.99 a box!!)! Protein shop allows you to view each nutrition label. The Wonderslim and protidiet brands on protein shop are the same as what slimgenics sells. The worst part is slimgenics doesn’t even display boxes of what they sell. You are supposed to magicly know if you might want to buy something off the order form. Then if you spend the $16.99 and it tastes like sh** (the oatmeal), you are stuck with it. I do LOVE this program because it works. It is learning a new lifestyle and a new relationship with food. If you accept that and do it, you will have success.

I’m coming into week 3 of this program and have seen results. My goal was to lose 13 pounds and I have about 5 lbs. to go with my goal being 4 weeks total, so I’m right on track. There are good things and bad things about this diet.
Good: You eat food that you bought at the store, not food from boxes and not unbalanced in types of food, as you still eat meat, veggies, starches, and snacks. You eat at least 5 times a day so it helps get your metabolism back up. I would also recommend their cookbook as some of the recipes are really good regardless if you’re on a diet or not, and it’s generally pretty easy to find recipes that work fine for this diet.
Bad: When you start, you receive a starter pack of supplements and also buy a ton of snacks. The snacks are tagged as Thermogenic, but I’m not sure they are much better than some other lowfat/lowcal/low sodium snack you might buy from a store. It’s difficult for me to keep up with the supplements, as some are before meals and some are during meals, and there are a total of 19 pills/day. So if you have an aversion to taking pills, you should look at a similar diet without the pills and just focus on portion-size and limiting Sodium/Sugar/Starches. The pills are optional to continue taking, but you get some included when you first sign up.
The really good takeaway from this diet is you learn alot about what you should and shouldn’t eat just by repitition. So you become very good at recognizing options similar to the Eat This, not That books. I’d recommend this for anyone willing to stick to the plan very closely to burn the weight off as quickly as possible and get into the maintenance phase of the diet.

I have done the S4L plan two times now. I lost 60 pounds in 5 months the first time and 56 pounds in 5 1/2 month the second time.
If you stick to the diet and learn how to eat during the maintenance phase, it’s an easy plan to follow. (The first 14-21 days it’s hard because you’re learning new habit’s and letting go of the old ones that made you fat!)
Anyway, I’m a few days into the diet again. I bought my supplements from the center–but I’m not re-joining. Just doing it on my own this time.
It does work–but it takes a lot of self discipline to keep it off.
Maybe I’ll develop that self discipline this time around.

Slim 4 Life, or Slimgenics, absolutely works. I did the program 4 years ago and lost 60 pounds. I won’t say it was easy, but it works if you do the program as they say. Over the last 4 years I have gained nearly all of it back, but only because I got comfortable in my new body and starting eating and not exercising like I had a super fast metabolism or something! If I had that luxury, I wouldn’t have needed to diet in the first place! So I am about to begin again…I’m so excited because I know it works. I do plan to try and save a little money and buy the snacks online and skip out on some of the supplements. Hopefully I will have the same results. Bottom line, I very much recommend this program.

I joined S4L back in 2006 and lost 68 pounds in 6 months. I have since gained some (20 lbs) of the weight back because I don’t always follow what I was taught. I became comfortable with my new size and started back eating unhealthy, some days are better than others. All in all I think the program is good and it works if you stick with it. Although I have gain some of the weight back I am confident I can lose it again because of the knowledge I gained from being on the program.
It is expensive but I still think it was worth it.
