I am blogging to share my Slimgenics story with others. If I can save just one person from joining and making the same mistake I have then this blog will be worth it. I'm guessing if your reading this you are trying to find information about Slimgenics in order to determine if it is right for you. Here is my experience. I have struggled with my wieght my whole life, I can't remember a time when I wasn't on a diet or watching what I ate. After having two kids I worked out joined Weight Watchers (WW) and was able to get the weight off. But then the summer ended and I was back to school. I could not find the time to workout with a full class schedule, working part-time and 2 kids. I gained 25 pounds. I of course felt horrible about myself and the way I looked that I considered going back to WW but with my busy schedule its hard to find the time for measuring and keeping track of points. So I heard the commercials on the radio advertising Slimgenics. I made my free consultation and the rest has been nothing but agony. When I went in for my consultation I advised the counsler that the reason I wasn't returning to WW was because my schedule was extremely busy and I didnt have time to measure and record everything I ate. I was told that I didn't need to worry about that with Slimgenics. Guess what I spend most of my day doing? That's right measuring food and recording it. But with Slimgenics not only do you have to record what your eating but you have to record the number of suppliments you are taking, the amount of water you are drinking, your salt intake, and even if you had a bowel movement. So what I think they should of said was "Don't worry thats nothing compared to what you have to record here." I was shocked at the price ($459.46) to lose only 25 pounds but I thought ok I'll give it a try. But that was just the start I then was told that I had to purchase their snacks or they won't guarentee my weight loss. But I was not to worry the boxes ranged from $10.50 to $16 a box and I needed two boxes a week. Come to find out that in order to get the snacks at $10.50 I needed to buy 100 boxes. Who has $1050 laying around to buy 100 boxes of snacks? Certainly not me. I ended up buying 20 boxes at $12.75 a box because they only give you one opportunity to buy in bulk or you have to pay $16 a box. Isn't that considerate of them. What sucks is that I had to choose all 20 boxes on the spot without starting the program, without knowing what I would like, and without knowing what would work with my schedule. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of boxes that I don't like but of course it's not their problem. I just need to buy more of what I like at $16 a box. Lovely. Now lets talk about the supplements. I hope you love to take lots of pills because if you do you'll be in heaven. Currently, I take 19 pills a day. Easy to remember. I'm almost out of one of the supplements and I was given the option to buy one months worth for $40 or three months for $120. Cause I haven't given them enough money. Can't wait to see how much it will cost when I have to buy the others. The program is so strict unlike WW that it is really hard to stick to the plan. They say that they introduce all foods back once you hit your goal but how long will that take. In the mean time plan on becoming accustomed to hunger pains. If you really want to learn how to eat right without taking a million pills a day and breaking the bank Weight Watchers is a much better program.
