Quick Weight Loss Centers is an in-person weight loss program that has locations in both Florida and Texas. This program is said to use a typical approach to weight loss through a low-fat, low-carb, low-sodium diet. Members of this program may be required to purchase products promoted by the company, in addition to paying for the cost of the program itself. We suspect the high expense of the program may explain why these Quick Weight Loss Centers have received such low scores on some consumer review websites.

Nuphedrine® -- Burn 500 More Calories per Day
Nuphedrine® is simply a crowd pleaser. They say that you will burn at least 500 more calories per day – and the customers back this up. Check out their positive blog ratings. Nuphedrine®’s formula contains only three primary ingredients: Real South African 20X Strength Hoodia, Advantra-Z® (30X Strength), and the patented appetite suppressant, Slimaluma®. This one is always neck and neck with Miracleburn® for customer satisfaction postings. The formulas are very similar, but Nuphedrine®’s is definitely stronger on the metabolism-boosting side. It uses a more potent form of the main ingredient, Advantra-Z®. This formula gives a powerful kick, and dieters will lose weight fast. Read a full Nuphedrine Review Here.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim10® - 10 Patented, Proven Ingredients - 1 Pill
Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it. Each of these effective ingredients is standardized so you always get a product you can count on, and they all have not just one, but several clinical studies backing their claims. The Slim 10® customers say it all—check out these enthusiastic postings on the blog. In fact, Slim 10® is on par with the best diet pills around like Nuphedrine, Miracleburn and HoodiaP57. Nuphedrine is definitely the strongest of the four pills on metabolism boosting, and HoodiaP57 is the best for just pure appetite suppression, but Slim 10® is the most balanced of all of them in terms of a variety of 100% clinically proven and patented ingredients. The truth is, it really just depends on what pill is best for the consumer—some will do better with Nuphedrine, others HoodiaP57, Miracleburn or last but definitely not least, Slim10®.

HoodiaBites
This product is just what it sounds like - chewable Hoodia pieces. The good news is that they actually use a superior quality form of Hoodia, and it works. In fact, this is probably the fastest way to feel Hoodia, because when you eat it, it digests so much quicker. In fact, most customers report that it works in about 5 minutes. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day. This is a good product to use by itself or in conjunction with another diet pill/program.

Flex Tricep Arms® -- Tighten and Tone the Backs of Your Arms
The Flex Tricep Arms® is a product designed for women that effectively and quickly tones up the back of their arms, also known as the triceps. For a lot of women this is a problem area that needs to be addressed, and it is also very hard for some ladies to work on this one because it generally would require weight training. What we love about the Flex Tricep Arms®, and all of the Flex® range of products for that matter, is that they do all the heavy lifting for you and you get all the benefits. That’s right – the Flex® products use FDA approved medical-grade electronic toning technology that it is clinically proven to work in just weeks for 100% of users!

MiracleBurn®
Miracleburn® is a pretty amazing phenomenon. It has consistently received one of the highest ‘Thumbs Up’ blog ratings on our site. The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available. The maker of Miracleburn® doesn’t spend tens of millions on advertising like alli®, Hydroxycut® or Curvelle to hype their product. They simply let their satisfied customers virtually do the marketing for them. We suggest reading through the postings. The formula consists of a quality form of Hoodia, combined with the patented metabolism booster, Advantra-Z®. It also has several other balancing secondary ingredients.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients.

Phycilla Gable: Quick Weight Loss Centers is a ripoff. They guaranteed I would lose 20 lbs in 7 weeks and I lost 3 3/4 lbs! Then they had the nerve to tell me that the reason I didn't lose was because I cheated! I stuck by the diet religiously for 7 weeks and then asked for my money back or at least the portion for maintenance and the year's follow up that I bought. They refused and technically called me a liar! Don't waste your money!

Lucinda: Well, when I joined the Quick Weight Loss Center I was very pleased at first. I found that the menus were catered to my personal preferences, which made it easier to stick to the diet. After the initial weight loss of about 12 pounds, I stuck with the program for another 3 months before giving up. It just stopped working for me.

Weezy, Binghamton NY: Id seriously considered this....too bad the centers are only located in South Florida. As you can see, I live in New York State and thats not realistic for me.

Gabrielle L.: This program became just another chore, unfortunately. It was not the design of the program that was the problem or anything, it was just my schedule. I felt like I got to the point where I no longer needed to visit the center all the time, and just going there became a hassle.

Brianna: Oh, I loved this program! I was so sad when I moved to Alabama last year, where there are no Quick Weight Loss Centers. I wish they had an online program.

Michelle Faulton: I just didnt feel that I was getting a whole lot of guidance or encouragement except when i went to the center. When i was back home, at work, in my real life, there was nobody i could turn to. I wish i was strong enough to ot need that, but Im not. I think its important to know yourself...based on what I know about myself, I decided this just wasnt it.

Marcia D.: Yeah, I used to go to the Quick Weight Loss Center and lost about 17 pounds. I was happy with it. But then, wouldnt you know, I broke my hip, and even after the physical therapy, I still havent been able to get motivated to rejoin. Maybe I will again, I dont know just yet.

Henriett: Well, I just joined the Quick Weight Loss Center and I really hope I finally lose this weight.

Miranda: HI, first time writing in to this site. Heres my dilemma. I have decided to quit smoking finally, but i am TERRIFIED of the weight gain that everyone says happens. Is there a special trick, or a diet for people who are quitting smoking? Part of the reason i smoked was to stay thin.

Alice: This has not been too bad of a program, the Quick Weight Loss Center. But boy, my appetite can get out of control at times. I bought some Hoodia Bites last month, and I have lost even MORE weight since then. I just eat one when I feel hungry (between meals of course, Ive learned skipping meals is not good for me) and anyway, I can wait until lunch or dinner to eat again. I got them here http://www.hoodiabites.com/mags/. Nice little chewy things, I like em a lot.

Polly: i really like going to the center it is nice too have a sense of community. i dont really see to many people on a daily basis so its nice for me.

Dick: The QWLC helped me get on the right track, I thought. I was motivated in the very beginning, and lost some weight, plus I was eating healthier than I had been. I learned what I needed to, and stopped going to the center. Felt good for about a year afterwards, too, until the weight slowly started to come back. Im not sure what I should do now.

Stacey Racine Wisconsin: See, once again i hear everybody talking about controlling yourself, etc. My problem is different. My problem is, no matter what i do, i cant seem to lose that weight. My metabolism sucks. Growing up, my sister could eat anything she wanted and stay thin, while i was eating grapefruits and rice cakes and still being fat. Is there anybody that has this problem too? Everyone just assumes i am overeater, but i am so not.

Nancy: This woman in my neighborhood walks around with poles, like shes skiing or something. Do these help burn calories or something? It looks pretty silly, but maybe it works.

Joy: Quick Weight Loss can be fabulous as long as you have time to go to the center regularly. I got promoted at work last year & was spending longer hours at the office, and my diet sadly went down the drain. Maybe once I really get on top of this work situation ill have more time to go again.

Shel, Iowa: SOme kind of weight loss center like this would be perfect in my town. Theres NOTHING like that here. And trust me, if you looked around at the people, you would see that it is much needed. We could all use some quick weight loss.

Tori: hey folks, so which is worse for weight loss (in moderation of course) wine or beer? Ive heard beer being bashed because of the carbs, but one of my friends recently told me that wine has plenty of carbs too and more calories. Anyone know the answer to this?

Deena: Oh, I felt just awful when I was in this program. I would go and learn about what I needed to buy, how to cook, all of that, and walk out feeling really confident. Then, faced with the temptations at the grocery store, I would give in and buy a few treats for myself. Sometimes, I would be so tired, I would actually stop at the drive-thru on my way home! I feel so guilty.

Lotus_lily76: Im not into these programs where you have to check in and weigh in and discuss things with your counselor, etc. I considered this program for about 5 seconds until i heard about how often you have to go to the place. I think losing weight should be a simple matter of eating less and burning more calories, without the need for sob sessions or group hugs.

Biff71Loman: hey im a single guy and i found the recipes to be a bit tough. I dont have the time or inclination to become a gourmet chef.

Edna G.: My husband and I joined this Weight Loss Center together and were pleased with it. But, hes since gotten quite sick, and I just do not have the time for it. Too much of my energy goes into my husbands care, not my own diet.

Jacy: Well, I liked Quick Weight Loss, I liked going to the center, and Im liking my results. So far I have kept the weight off for 2 weeks and am very proud of myself.

Buddy_338: This so-called Quick Weight Loss was not quick enough for me. Way too much work. I guess it teaches some good habits, but I just want to drop the weight.

jodie: wEll, I dunno whats so quick about this weight loss. i dont have the time to be shoppin and cookin all day logn, and driving round to this center is wastin even more of my time. i aint lost a pound yet.

Wendy: I think Quick Weight Loss is fine for certain types of people: people who like going to a weight loss center regularly, people who have time to make a diet the center of their universe, and people who live in select areas of South Florida.

Mia: Hi, Im looking for a weight training program that will make me look toned, but not like a manly bodybuilder. Can anyone point me to a good workout for that?

Devorah: The Atlanta area have quite a few QWL centers. I used the program 14 years ago and 70 pounds seemed to melt away. Sadly, life sometimes gets in the way while youre having fun and I find myself once again in need of a weight loss plan. Ive gone back to QWL (after trying Weight Watchers, Cambridge and Nutri Systems). I love the program and am back on track. The best motivator is being held accountable when you weigh in. Its all too easy to lie to ourselves - but when you have to weigh in several times a week in front of someone....well, thats a different story. I love the one-on-one

Lidia: Sorry this is overly expensive, and after 7 months, well not that effective or practical. I'm starting my search and just wanted to add my experience.

Linda: I have been on this program for 1 month. Until the past week and a half, I have enjoyed working with the staff. I felt comfortable and helped with whatever my needs were. NOW, I do not know what happened, but the staff do not smile, we are rushed out quickly and it seems staff changes have been made. NOT for the better. I tried to get the regional director Lynn Shuman Allen...but to no avail. Now that QWLC has my 1900.00 for 2 to join, and another 5000.00 for all the supplements for our program , it seems I and my partner no longer count as people. It seems the money was important to the administration. Something is very wrong with the Lake Worth branch. Staff need to have good moral. When moral is low...programs fail. I know I have been in charge of enough to know. What happened to the time to take with the client? I am writing here in hopes of hearing from the mystical Regional Director. Perhaps the Palm Beach Post would get her attention. I see above on the blog a woman who loved the one on one. We had that, now it's gone!

Sheka: It works(only if you don't cheat!) I've been on the program for 5 weeks now and lost a total of 16.4 pounds. If you do not lose any weight on this program its because you cheated!! The staff is wonderful, always helpful and encouraging.

beverly: am currently in my second week, have lost only one pound. the staff is fine, not really friendly but not rude. i would like some more encouragement because i thought i would have a lost a few more pounds by now. i paid a lot of money as well and am a little concerned now that perhaps i made a wrong decision joining this weight loss center.

Marian: does anyone know what the QuickBoost really does for you and if the Carb Blockers and Herbs are worth taking?

Meredith: Never tried the QuickBoost but I don't think any of the supplements from here are worth taking. They didn't do a thing for me, neither did the program as a whole. I think they sell the supplements only to make more money off us. I've been reading about other supplements that seem to work great without this whole program, I might try one of those instead, something with Hoodia maybe.

Mary Margaret: *QuickWeightLossCenters* Girls, take a look at this - the FTC fined them and apparently chased them out of Georgia and Texas. Joyce Allen Schuman either changed her name or is a relative of Lynn Allen Schuman operating the South Florida centers is mentioned as an officer of those companies and told Judge she sold her interests. Appears to be the same Lynn/Joyce Allen Schuman operating in South Florida ! Cited for false advertising and falsely stating they had licensed nutritional counselors ! Watch out. this is a scam according to the Federal Trade Commission.

JAL: I am writing to communicate concerns regarding my experience as a client. I hope my post will help others before deciding to enroll in this program. 1. Center Hospitality: Upon arriving to the location, no one was at the front desk. I waited several minutes before anyone came up front. No one ever welcomed me nor did anyone introduce themselves. 2. Sales Pressure: I had questions regarding the vegetarian plan that the counselor did not know the answers to. When I asked if I could think it over I was told the quoted price was only valid immediately, even though I would not start the program until the following week. I went ahead and signed on feeling I really did not have any other options. 3. Counselors: The counselors are not professionals. Every time I arrived a different person

Orange: My experience was similar to JAL's. Way too much emphasis on the sale of program/supplements, got upset because I didn't want to buy things right away then applied the pressure. My advice would be to consider your options very, very carefully before you shell out a minimum of $1500. I consider this a very expensive lesson as I won't get my money back. I did not do my homework ahead of time. I followed the program to the letter, took the supplements, and never lost any weight during the time I was on the program.

Janet: I was on Quick Weight Loss for 22 weeks and lost 15 lbs. When I started they asked me what medications I was on which I told them. Being that I was on blood pressure medicine I should not have been told that I had to take the Metabolizer in order for the program which I was and I was told I had to take their vitamins even though I took vitamins daily. They push you to buy their products all up front because you can save so much money. Well after spending $1800. I did not save much money. I was told to go on a grapefruit diet in order to speed up my metabolizism. Because I am on bloodpressure I am not to eat grapefruit and I was told that, "this little bit won't hurt me" How do they know how much is to much when your on blood pressure medicine. They were not give you encouragement or praise when you lost a pound they wanted you to loose 2-3 a week. I would not recomment this program.

Lisa: I have been on this program for nearly 7 wks, I did lose approx 10 lbs but it has been up and down. Yes they push the supplements, and when the weight does not come off, they say you cheated, or ate the wrong fruit, or did not eat enough...even told me NOT to exercise...I am hungry all the time becuase they keep putting me on "plateau breakers" of less than 1000 cals a day...still not working. Am wondering if there is an underlying medical reason, as Atkins took off 70 lbs 6 yrs ago, and now need to drop the 20lbs I have slowly gained back, and Atkins didn't work this time, then went to QWLC as last ditch effort. I would rather have my money...at least I could use the $1500 to buy "fat" clothes....NOT a good prgram unless you have been a junk food eating couch potato, and are ready to change.

Anonymous: I lost 50 lbs on the qwl program over 3 yrs ago.I have gained 25 of it back. I keep going back and spending more money losing and gaining the same weight back and forth. This diet is hard to stay on. It is boring, no variety, only plain blah food. It is hard to stay on. I am currently going there now. Been going there around 10 weeks and I have not lost anything because I can't stay on the diet because it is gross. I'm tired of going to functions and can't eat anything because it's not on plan. It is not a realistic way of life. I like variety. Don't get me wrong, the plan really works if you stick to it, I lost 50 lbs in 6 mos., 3 yrs ago, but unless you eat this way all the time which gets boring and easily burns you out, it's hard to keep the weight off.

Mary Ann: My experience has been similar, I feel like I have been cheated out of my money since joining the Quick Weight Loss Center. I have had very minimal weight loss (3 lbs in 9 weeks) and have not been impressed with the staff, and don't like being told its my fault for cheating! I almost broke into tears on my last visit, I was so upset! The meals are boring, and I don't feel supported. And now I see that this is a scam??? No wonder! I wish I had read about this sooner. I had no idea I was being suckered into a program with uncertified counselors. I am quitting, I just don't know if there's a way to get my money back or if its a total loss.

Kathy S: Wish I had read these posts earlier today. I was at a social function last night and someone asked me when I was "due" - I'm NOT expecting. So I got up today and went and signed on with QWLC - $628 prepaid to lost 75 pounds in 26 weeks... They have my cash now, so I guess I'll ask you all to wish me luck!!

Jen: I joined QWLC about a week ago and have dropped 5 pounds so far, so I do think it is effective. BUT, I also feel like they were really sneaky. They don't tell you that you have to prepay for the entire diet on your first visit, $300-$700, or that you have to buy their "supplements" that are a necessary part of the diet. You need 2 supplements a day and you buy them in a box of 7 for $16 a box. The diet is basically a high protein, low sugar, low sodium diet. They encourage you to drink 80 ounces of water a day and you take their diet supplement which do contain caffine. I think you could maintain this diet on your own once you get the hang of it. I don't think their "nutritionists" are all truly trained dieticians they just know how to spit out the script. I won't be paying for more after my 6 weeks are over.

CHARLES: Just got back from my first visit. almost passed out when i found out how much it is going to cost. very high pressure. time will tell how successful it is but when you start out feeling "taken" its going to be difficult.

IVETTE: i know theres a lot of options out there but i chose qwlc because of the weight loss guarantee and with my hypertension and thyroid problems it's what i needed. they assured me that they have a program to fit my needs. then i found out after losing 1 pound every 2 weeks that the program i was on was the same for every one els, no special supplements, etc. after the 14thn week i was told my slow weight loss was due to my health conditions. besides giving me a guide book and sent home blindly, i thought the supplements they sell were triple the cost of otc's with the same ingredients. what did not work for me may work for someone els. so i gave a friend my guide book and passed on what i've learned in the program and i'm sure i saved her several hundred dollers.

connied: 2 yrs. ago i joined the qwl program in Georgia.I have to say that the people were very nice and were a great help.The first week i lost 8 lbs. i did the meals and did the vitamins drank alot of water & was on my way. The second week i lost 3 lbs. and kept on loosing. I lost a total of 22 lbs. my first month. I went for a check up and found out i had breast cancer and had to come off the program. The counselors were wonderful and since i was on a pay by the month program, and got sick i did not have to pay for the rest of my program. As soon as i am financially able I want to go back and start loosing again. Sorry to hear about alot your disappointments but all i can say is it worked for me. Blessings to you all.

Ruth: Wish I would've been smart and read the review on QWLC first. I also found the staff to be pushy, after the first couple of visits and the weihgt loss very slow. Too much money to pay for a program like this I feel taken advantage of for my willingness to trust them.

rascalfishy: I have gained and lost about a million pounds over the years. Now that I'm over 50, I'm losing the battle. I went to QWLC because I was desperate. I needed something really radical, short of lipo or stomach surgery! I think if I had 30 pounds or fewer to lose, maybe I wouldn't have needed this program, but I know myself and I know I needed a major kickstart. I feel this program has done that for me. I'm in my 4th week and have lost about 13 pounds. Not nearly what I need to lose, but it's a start, and I'm grateful. My experiences are different than some here -- I WAS told I needed to spend $20-30 weekly on their supplements, that wasn't kept from me. No, the weight isn't pouring off me like I wish it would, but frankly, I can't follow this diet to the letter, I find it entirely too restrictive. I do the best I can. The 3x weekly visits are a pain in the ass, no doubt, and it's embarrassing to have to weigh in and be held accountable, but you know what? They're right. We're there to lose weight, and they want to make sure it's working. I have found the staff to be courteous, helpful, altho clearly not nutrition experts. I think it is incumbent on everyone to ask questions before they sign on to something like this. Ask yourself first if you can handle a diet this restrictive. Slowly, I am getting into a rhythm with the food. I am adjusting. I disagree with the poster who said you can buy the supplements they sell cheaper in the grocery store. Their supplements are highly unusual -- not only are they remarkably low in calories, they are just as remarkably high in protein. I have taken the Nutrition Facts from the boxes of their supplements and compared them to grocery store products, and I can't find a single thing that matches. Their fruit drink, for example, has 15 grams of protein! Crystal Light doesn't have any, last I checked. Their supplements ARE different, so I'm willing to spend for them. Also, I was not forced to buy my entire supply of supplements at the start. I was given the CHOICE: if I bought them all at once, they'd be discounted, but I didn't have to, I could buy them as needed for the regular price ($15 each for a week's supply). I find the protein bars are super tasty and filling, and as a chocoholic, I am grateful this diet allows me to have one daily. I hope this is helpful information to everyone. I think if you commit to this program fully, mentally, get your head in the game, you will get results. Being overweight absolutely sucks. I don't think I have the stomach to stick with this program until the end (26 weeks), but it's helped me get started on the road to weight loss, and I think I can do it now.

Trudy: For the most part the staff was upfront with me about the cost & the expectations at first, & I knew it was up to me to be accountable. Still, after 3 months of going to QWLC, I was only down about 6 lbs. Far from the 24 lbs I'd hoped to lose by then. I was frustrated and at that point, felt alone, no one was helping me make the adjustments I needed to. I stuck it out for one final month, and never lost another lb. Very disappointed with this, I gave it my all & got very little in return.

Anonymous: KIM T.- WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR QWL IS WAS EXCITED. LOST SOME WEIGHT, BOUGHT ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS AND EXTRA FOODS, AFTER 2 MONTHS AND 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS LATER I WAS PUT IN THE HOSPITAL SEVERE PANCRETITIS, STAYED IN HOSPITAL IN AND OUT FOR 5 MONTHS. DUE TO THE 19 HERBS, EFA'S AND SUPPLEMENTS THIS OVERWELMED MY PANCREAS. WATCH OUT YOUR COUNSELORS IN WHITE LAB JACKETS HAVE ONLY TAKEN A 6--8 HOUR CLASS. IF YOU GET ON THIS DIET PLEASE SEE A REAL DOCTOR. I WAS NEVER REFUNDED ANY MONEY AND THEY STILL HAVE THE NERVE TO KEEP CALLING TO GET ME TO COME BACK.BBBB-EWARE

texasgal: rascalfishy - when did you start QWLC? I found my experience to be the same as yours and I also have 26 weeks to go.

Diane: OMG Kim T. that is awful...i do think that the supplements have some harmful ingredients, i felt dizzy and anxious when taking them. Yet they are VERY pushy about making you buy these supplements, it almost seems like that is the main idea of this diet, they push and push you to spend more money, and with very few results. I cannot BELIEVE that people are still trying to recommned this program after reading of your experience. Any diet that puts you in the HOSPITAL is a very bad diet!

MB: My husband and I are both on it and have already lost 13 lbs in 4 weeks. Yes, it is expensive. Check with your employer; they may have a program to pay for weight loss programs. I figure, by the end of it, will have paid around US$1000.00 or so...but you know what? It's worth it. I've already gone from a size 12 to an 10 and getting comfy into my 8's again. It is a hard diet, but effective when followed to the letter.

Angie: I cannot afford to be spending that kind of money (AND risking my health! i have a family history of type 2 diabetis and do NOT Want to overhwhelm my pancreas)! i cant believe you think $1,000 is reasonable when other diets are so much more affordable. I saw an ad for a program called theDietAwards.com , where you can do REASONABLE HEALTHY diets like Jillian Michaels, and if you lose weight, you get PAID $1,000 ! I think that's the better financial option!!

vicki: When I went to their office and told them that I was interested in the diet but without the suppliments, they tod me that without the suppliments they could not guarentee any loss.

anonymous: QWLC IS A TOTAL RIPOFF. the program is very expensive and the "COUNSELORS" who work there are not professionals. they have had one week of nutrition classes.. i dont trust anything they say and if u have a medical problem then please DO NOT put ur health into their hands.. they work on commission and pay 8. an hour to fight for your sales.. THIS PLACE IS THE BIGGEST JOKE.. I WARN YOU NOT TO GO AND IF UR STUCK AND U LIKE THE FOOD , U CAN BUY ONLINE FOR HALF PRICE.. BUT THE SLIMFAST BARS ARE JUST AS GOOD..SO JUST SO U KNOW THIS PLACE IS NOTHING BUT A MONEY SCAM AND TO PAY 700 and then ANOTHER 5-1800 IN THE NUTRITION CLASS IS WHERE THEY GET U... DO NOT DO THIS PROGRAM UNLESS U HAVE NOTHIN ELSE TO DO WITH UR MONEY.. AGAIN THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT NUTRITIONISTS NOR DO THEY KNOW ABOUT NUTRITION OTHER THAN A WEEK CLASS...

Holland: I am not sure what to think just yet. I have signed up and I am on my 2nd week. I have lost a little over 5 pounds but I believe that is mostely water. I have a thyroid problem and take med. for it. I am approaching 50 this year and really need to lose about 30 pounds so I will be in better health.

Roy: SOunds to me like going to the Quick Weight Loss Centers is gonna do more harm than good, health wise, from what I am reading. I went in to discuss joining but when I saw the cost and the need for all the supplements, I said i'd think about. Very glad I held off & came home to do some research. I smelt a scam when I walked in, now I am convinced. Thx for the posts.

Lissa: I just signed up. This is my first day. So far so good. I know 5+ people who have lost weight on this program. Some kept it off - some didn't. That is not the program's fault. It is expensive, but so is junk food and buying fat clothes. I will be 50 next year and wanted to do something for myself. I look at this as a lifestyle change. I've lost weight before, only to go back to my old ways and regain the weight. I'm looking forward to the stabilization and maintenance part of the program. I feel that is more important than the weight loss itself. I'll keep everyone posted.

Staci: How I wish I would have saved my money! I had been on Weight Watchers, and at my Lifetime goal for about 7 years, and then my weight creeped up after I quit smoking. I tried and tried with Weight Watchers to get it back down to no avail. What a mistake thinking QWLC was the way to go. I'm always hungry, the diet is SO restrictive. It just sucks. (Oh, and don't believe the commercials that it'sless expensive than Weight Watchers!) They have my money so now I will just use my credits to buy the products I have coming to me, but I have learned a costly lesson. Quick Weight Loss blows. I did talk to one of the counselors about my issues, and she was of no help. I feel like such a sucker! SAVE YOURSELF THE $$ AND TRY SOME OTHER PROGRAM!

holland: I have been on the program a little over a month and have lost about 2 pounds a week. Right now I am at a stand still. You are right it is expensive so I am going to stick with it until my commitment is up. The diet is very restrictive so it will be interesting to see what will happen in maintance. I do not think I will lose the 30 pounds they promoise but I am losing so I will take what I can get. There are much cheaper ways to go.

allison k.: Well, it's interesting to learn that the "counselors" at quick weight loss have had only a week of nutritional training...that sounds about right. The counselors i dealt with were 1) ignorant, 2) apathetic and 3) unethical. I felt like I knew more about diet and exercise just as a longtime dieter than these people did as professionals. I was concerned about lowering my metabolism by going to low in calories, and the one woman actually told me tat INCREASES your metabolism! Well, that just goes against science. The foods were pretty averedge, and MUCH more expensive than say, slim fast or zone products. This is just a "quuck fix" and all they want is your money. I have been researching the Five Factor Diet and i think that's going to be my next move.

annie: I was never told to seek a doctor's approval first, which I later learned is supposed to be part of the program. After a "hard sell" and spending $1,000, I began taking the pills and supplements and began feeling weak, fatigued and nauseated. When I told the counselors about it, they told me that there was no reason why I should be feeling bad, (as though I was making it up or something.) When I asked if I could get a refund for the unopened bottles, they yelled at me saying that I was "taking advantage" of them, and that I was "acting the victim". And this was from the corporate office! I never lost any weight after the first 3 days, and spent so much money on products I won't even be using. I quit the program because I don't believe these people care about their customers and their health. It is all about the money and it is the biggest SCAM. Please do not waste your money on something that doesn't even work. I didn't lose, but 3 pounds and they kept telling me it was my own fault, even though I was following the program to the letter. Who's taking advantage of whom here? If anyone knows who we can go to to complain, please advise. They are not on the BBB and each store is owned separately. I will keep looking until we get resolution for this fraud.

Yvonne: Well so I've been going to the Quick Weight Loss center for just about a month and am not sure what to think. I have also not felt fully supported but I like the food plans and that I am slowly losing weight without exercising. I came on the blog hoping to be reinspired but now I am getting discouraged. I;m glad no one has yelled at me but now i am afraid to try to speak up to my counselor about m,y slow progress. is there a way to get out of my commitment?

Norah: Yeah I went to the Quick Weight Loss Center in Houston for a while and got really fed up with the counselors there. I didn't think they were rude - some were actually quite nice - but, they just didnt' seem to really know what they were doing. I thought I would like the accountablity of going to the center but it really just made me more frustrated. I've had better success with the South Beach Diet online, those of you how are also fed up should get a free diet profile southbeachdiet.com/freeprofile It's really a lot more comprehensive and I'm surprised by how much support I get from the online community..more than I ever got at the center!

Chanel: Well I just started at QWLC and frankly I have mixed feelings about the program. I detoxed for 4 days and this is the first day of my weight loss regime. PROS: feel very supported with the one on one from the counselors who are very nice; Lost 5 lbs in the detox phase, just 3 days; Protein supplements are not bad tasting; Herb supplements,carb blocker and EFA's have no negative effect on me and actually make me feel more energized. CONS: Very expensive with hidden fees which are not disclosed during sign up; The products are also over priced; Skeptical as to the benefits of the supplements and wonder if I would be losing the weight without them because the diet is so restrictive; They say loss weight with no hunger, but I am hungry throughout the day and feel deprived after I have eaten my allowed portions and cannot eat anymore; Wonder how long it will take before I am sick of eating the protein bars and puddings, in other words is this realistic long term?;During my nutrition class they tried to force me into buying the products by saying I "had to make a purchase today" I wound up purchasing them anyway to save in the long run, but they didn't know that at first. I told them that this was never mentioned during my sign up and not to try to use that tactic on me again, they apologized; Skeptical about the lack of exercise needed, especially with weights (everyone knows that muscle burns more fat). Anyway I need more time to form a better opinion about the program. I will stick to it because I've already paid so much money. Let's see what happens within the next few weeks.

lisa: QUICK Weight Loss Centers (QWLC) revolves around some really STUPID misguided ideas! THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE, BS diet plan that really just wants you to buy their supplements that are WAY overpriced! red flag #1 they try to say you dont have to excercise! Well everyone knows you DO have to exercise for long term weight loss! #2 The SUpplements are ridiculous and you could get the equivalent any where and would work just as well this is just a self serving little tie in. They do not CARE about you, my counselors were pleasant enough but they knew next to nothing about weight loss! Even the name (Quick Weight Loss) shows you their lack of knowledge..i should have known better! Losing weight "fast" is not the way to keep it off. Sorry, but I have to give this an uniquivocal thumbs down, and i hahve nevver before written a bad review.

Lindsay: I didnt have much weight to lose when I joined. I dropped from 124 to 114 in 2 weeks! Then we got pregnant and I had to quit. After I had my baby I started up again and lost 8 lbs in the first 3 days! I plan on starting again tomorrow! (Just had our last baby)

Karyn: I joined QWL over a year ago. I stuck to the program and lost 41 lbs out of the 66 I needed to lose. If you stick to the program just as they tell you to, it works! I found the cost of the suppliments evened out with my previous grocery bill since I wasn't purchasing canned, prepackaged foods. My personal problem is that I got bored with the food before I lost the last 20 lbs. I don't really think the counsellors are nutrition experts at all, and for them to wear medical uniforms in very misleading. However, they are nice and very motivating. And, I do feel so much better since I lost the weight (I'd suffered from water retention, high cholestrol, and my blood pressure was beginning to rise prior to finding QWL). I've had two issues with the QWL Centers in the past year - 1) they don't necessarily hold weeks while your on vacation. 2) I had a huge problem with constitpation in the first few weeks, and no one ever said anything about their cleansing tea until several weeks went by of me feeling really miserable. Not much of a nutritionist who knows their products. 3) F
