Editors' Top Pick of 2012

Do we ever rate a diet pill positively? Yes. Although it's rare, there are a few diet pills that meet our strict recommendation requirements. Why don't we recommend Slim4Life? We're looking for clinically proven ingredients, money back guarantees and low prices. Apidexin is our favorite. You can read our review or go to the official site.

Slim4Life

Slim4Life is a weight loss center which has locations in Kansas and Missouri that offer individuals in the area weight loss consulting and diet plans and individuals who are not in those areas an online program that they can do at home.

Slim4Life works with you to design a weight loss program that’s specifically made to meet your needs and lifestyle.

The programs are designed around your specific needs and around food that you can purchase at the grocery store or foods you can even eat at restaurants.

Slim4Life Cost

The official website for Slim4Life does not offer pricing on their programs, but does provide a phone number and offers a free consultation so you can decide if it works for you.

Offering three different programs, Slim4Life believes they can help you lose up to 30 pounds in just 30 days for an affordable cost.

Slim4Life’s Programs are:

• Slim4Life Program
• Slim4Life Family Program
• Slim4Life Home Program

Slim4Life Pros

• Significant weight loss
• Accountability for diet schedule
• Plans designed specifically for you
• Plans that can be designed for your entire family
• Free consultation
• Not required to eat pre-packaged food

Slim4Life Cons

• May be an expensive way to lose weight
• Personal consultation only available in two states and a total of 10 cities
• No pricing information on their official website

Overall Impression

Slim4Life is not a program that offers a plan that is designed with both a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine in mind, but rather just a healthy diet.

If you’re an individual who’s looking for a program that encompasses both, Slim4Life probably isn’t the best option for you. Although Slim4Life will work with you to lose weight by only eating better, Slim4Life will not provide you with consultation on exercise.

As many people know, for most individuals, the best way to lose weight is to eat a healthy diet and participate in a regular exercise routine to both slim down and tone your body. If that’s something you’re looking for, a membership to a gym would probably be more beneficial along with seeing a nutritionist to help you with better eating choices.

However, if you’re an individual who solely needs assistance in meal plans that are healthy and will aid you in weight loss, Slim4Life is a good option because the plans will be specifically designed for your needs.

2012 Consumers' Choice

Why do consumers love Fenphedra? Because it really works. In fact, Fenphedra outperforms Apidexin in every category except safety and price. However, due to its powerful ingredients, Fenphedra is not for the average person looking to looking to lose a few pounds. Only consider it if you have 10, 20 or 30 plus pounds to lose.

I lost 8 lbs and 7 inches in 4 weeks. Only need to lose 20 more – but am happy with the first month. I love the supplements. Never hungry.

I am going to sign up for slim4life on Monday. I can’t stand the way I look and feel about myself. The real kicker was when I was weighed and I weigh more than my tall skinny husband.

i started a month ago -remote control- there isn’t an office within 3 hours. I started because of relative’s recommendation and success. I need to lose 100 lbs, so i’m willing to give it a go. I’ve lost 25 lbs the first month. Let’s see where it goes.

This program works and is a heck of a lot cheaper / better than lap band surgery. I have a friend who had lapband and literally can only eat soup on most day. GAK!! If you are desperate, like I was the expense is truly worth it. I cannot take the metabolizer because it gives me anxiety…However, I do take 9 EFA’s and 2 carb blockers each day. I do not take their vitamin but take a vitamin recommended by my doctor. I have lost a total of 35 lbs so far and want to lose 24 more. I have went from being morbidly obese to being within 4 lbs from overweight (according to the medical guidelines). Not to mention my cholesterol has went from a whooping 286 to 200 and my triglycerides have went from 160 to 144). I still have a little ways to go on getting them in normal range but have done all this in less than a year. Both of my doctors have been VERY impressed with my results and I feel like it is saving me from a lifetime of health problems. It is not an easy program because you cannot have a lot of sauces. It makes eating out a little bit of a challenge but I really feel like its worth it. I also order my “snacks” through dietdirect.com which saves me money.

I love most the counselors, I can vent my frustrations and cry on their shoulder and they always point me back to being healthier and doing it for the long haul… Being thin is a way of life, not just momentary. Plus, they let me know we all make mistakes but mistakes are not the end of the road.

Best Wishes to anyway who is looking to lose.

I, too, did the Slim4Life plan and became very ill. I kept telling the counselors that I was tired, holding a tremdous about of fluid and felt like I had swallowed a golf ball. I was told to drink more water and take more “Uraslim” (basically a water pill.) I found out that the main pill had Bitter orange as one of it’s main ingredient and that I am HIGHLY allergic to this herb. It took a few weeks to get this out of my system and I quit the program. I joined a gym, hired a dietian and a trainer and have lost more weight, inches and fat off my body than I have lost in the past. I feel wonderful and it has cost me only the membership of my local community center ($23.00 per month) this compared to the $2,657. it cost me at Slim4Life (for three months). I didn’t finish the program. thank GOD. I do have a lot of left over suppliments that I keep to show how stupid I was for believeing in this program!

I think that several people have had some misunderstanding of the program. You are NOT required to purchase any of the supplements, only snacks (2 per week, $16/box). And let me tell you, 55 lbs and 26 weeks later, you don’t need those supplements to lose the weight. Just stick to the plan and the weight will come off.

As a natural heatlh physician, I personally can’t advocate any of the supplements that they recommend, aside from the EFA’s (which you can purchase cheaper at Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods). I always suggest that my patients take a quality multi-vitamin and EFA’s daily. These will support your health. But taking stimulants in the kind of concentration that they come in these supplements is not good for health, and can create many adverse reactions. Even though the program has worked well for me, I feel like I have an advantage by knowing what I know about supplement use. I realize that the general public doesn’t know alot about those supps and will just take them (and PAY for them!), thinking that they’re going to help them get where they want to be. Not true. If there was one thing about the program I could change, that would be it. I wish I could advocate for the many consumers who are purchasing those unhealthy, stimulant supplements.

I have been a slimgenics member for just over 3 months and have lost 34 pounds. The reviews online are TERRIBLE and I’m really happy I didnt read them before I joined. I love slimgenics. You go there to lose weight, if it were easy and non-time consuming everyone would be skinny… it’s not. You need to cook healthier, follow portion sizes, keep the right foods on hand. It’s a lifestyle. No, the “councelors” arent certified – but who said they were? Yes, the suppliments are expensive – I buy similar brands from other companies for a fraction of the cost and have since the bottom of my first bottle. Who ever thinks the councelors are pushy need to learn to push back. They ask if you need product at the end of your visit – thats it. They work on commission, of course they’re going to ask if you need anything! I’ll be sticking with the program and cannot say anything bad about it, except I cannot believe I hadnt heard of it before I joined… I could have been skinny years ago!

I Googled “Metabolizer” and “anxiety” because I am having major anxiety issues when taking the Slim4Life herb pills. It looks like the comment has been removed, I guess by the blog creator to further Slim4Life’s position, but I need to know about this. Has anyone else had this side-effect (other than the person whose comment got removed)? Please answer before this comment gets removed

I too signed up for SlimGenics. I am actually on my 2nd day of “prep phase”. I do feel it will be challenging but I did lose 1.5 lbs in one day. I am amazed. I am not hungry but cant wait until Prep Phase is over. I did find that the snacks and products are over priced. I am only going to buy what is required for the program and will buy the rest from DIRECTDIET.COM. It is the absolute same products but cheaper. Some almost 50%. But I think it will work for the most part. Though I am going to miss cheese. Good luck to all that are on the program. Love the Orange ThermoBoost!!

I just started The Slim4Life program and am finding it difficult unless you get the food in the house immediately. As for the supplements, I have thought about locating them else where. I looked on DIRECTDIET.COM but am not sure how to get to the right supplements. Can you advise?
Slocke

Where on DIRECTDIET.COM can you get the supplements?
Yamayabybay

What supplements did you buy, and did you find any good alternative protein snacks?
PV

@Becky- Did your friend even take it during the first month of the program at all. I just join and was thinking I wasn’t going to take any of the pill that they hae given me and just follow the food diet and workout along with just eating the bar that was part of the requirment.
PV

So how are you doing now? I am sure you are done by now. I just start the program and was thinking I wasn’t going to eat any of the pills and just stick to the diet and bar? Do you think that will work. Did you eat the pills throughout the programs at all.
Sue

Well, ya know what? It’s expensive. So what? You pay up front. Because of that, I don’t want to quit or screw up, because I paid so much for it. Weight Watchers was a good plan, but if I didn’t lose weight, I didn’t want to go. There was no incentive to go back. I need someone to tell me what I’m doing wrong. I thought I knew, I thought I knew alot about food, I thought I knew how to make good choices at restaurants. I don’t want to EVER go to a restaurant AGAIN! Their food is SALTED like crazy. Think you are making correct choices? Take Applebees under 550 meal. More salt than I need in a day. Frozen entrees — SALT, canned food SALT. Well, I’m losing weight, My husband is losing weight. It works. But you HAVE TO WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. My husband is getting off his BP and diabetes meds. YOU HAVE TO WANT IT.

I lost 40 Lbs with slim for life. After I reached my goal weight it was hard to stay their. But what makes you lose is the Metabolizer and Carb Blocker . Another thing is don’t stop drink water . Lemon, Minute maid juice in your water will also help you to lose. And use
Apple Cidar Vinigar in Salads.

that is exactly how i feel!!
Cassie Megan

I agree. I just started and have already lost more than I’ve been able to doing anything else. The people at the one I go to are great and very helpful. They keep me accountable. It is VERY expensive, but we are looking into cheaper alternatives for the supplements and still love it.
