They are out to make money on their supplements (vitamins, bars, etc.). BUT, don't fall for it, most of the products are available at diet direct much cheaper. They push their fish oil, probiotics, vitamins - don't do theirs, go with something you can buy at the grocery store (and you can usually get a better quality product if you just read the labels and compare). If they tell you HAVE to buy theirs, tell them you bought the Q's version from the Q's website (they usually leave you alone as long as you stick to that). Same with the supplements - their website sells all of it, compare their products with diet direct - most of the stuff is just reboxed for the Q's label (I'd think most of it is made my the same company as Wonderslim). I paid for the whole package when I first began (years ago); I found the less expensive stuff as I surfed the internet. I never got to my goal weight, never got to maintenance (I gave up). I started back with them recently, but I'm not buying anything from them unless I want to just try a product before ordering in online.

I went from 275 to 240 in in 4 months in 2010. I Once I was at a comfortable weight I quit the program without using the aftercare program and over the next 8 years floated up to 302#.
In June of '18 I want from 302 to 266 in 8 weeks. It does work quickly, but you have to be hyper vigilant about following the plan. I find that going "off plan" for a day or 2 every 5-6 weeks reinvigorates the speed at which I loose weight.
Cons: No alcohol, No fat, No nuts, No cheating. I was weak at times, and it becomes tedious. However, being spoiled and self-indulgent got me fat to start with so the deprivation is a good discipline.
This time I'm going to use the maintenance program. 30# to go to get in size 36 slacks!

Expensive, maybe, but effective. If you follow the plan, go often and you truly believe in the program, it WORKS. 25 Pounds is 8 weeks, several dress sizes later, still on the program. The counselors are great, and the more often you go, the more they help with weight loss. Don't be deceived by people who don't lose, they are not following the plan. It is pretty simple to follow. The bars and other snacks taste wonderful too And I am not hungry at all. You need to know different between hunger and appetite. I have learned a lot and I read all the nutritional ingredients before eating anything anymore. For instance, I never knew a serving from a package of quinoa, brown rice and black beans was 50 carbs, and I thought that was healthy before!!

**Buyer Beware**Misleading weightloss program. They advertise $9.99 a week but in reality you're paying almost 1000.00 at once and then you're forced to eat their discusting food. If you don't purchase the products the guarentee is null and void. I wasn't told any of this prior to signing up. I even called the corporate office and told them how people shouldn't be forced to purchase the products. The women I spoke to in the corporate office was the secretary, she claimed it's hard to contact someone in the corporate office because people come and go which was a bunch of bs! She really didn't care. I expressed my dissatisfaction as a customer, which was a waste of time. I've experianced drama in one of their locations between the management party and employees. This company is one of the worst misleading drama filled weightloss facilities I've ever experianced!

I’m going to a lawyer to get my money back. I get sick after taking the pills and fiber and termogenjcs drink. Nausea, vomiting, dizziness. I too believe it’s not what they sa it is. They never told me the contract was non refundable. I got the contract after I signed on an iPad. Not working for me. Can’t even drink regular water or my propel after putting the fiber and the other stuff in the waters. They said they had lactose and gluten free food. Not true. So many fibs.

I have lost weight on this program and many of my friends have as well . The advantages of real food , natural products to support my system and a rapid results without starvation make this the best plan ever. I was never hungry and the staff is so helpful and caring !

I was exited to do this program. They are very expensive and the location I went to was not upfront with the cost. When you ask questions they tell you that is next week. Each person there tells you a different thing. They don’t know how to answer eating healthy questions and best times to eat. I paid almost $600 to start and they didn’t let me go home to think about it. It was a take it or leave it. I saw the red flags and gave them my money and signed up anyway. I should have listened to my gut.
I stopped going back and lost that money. I lost my excitement and trust with them. It was a very expensive lesson for me to learn.

I did not loose weight on this program. Too expensive. The Platinum pills did not make me loose my appetite as I was told. This is a very limited diet plan. It may be a quick weight loss program but not a diet for life. I travel for work so it did not work for me. I wanted my money back and they were not interested in my situation. I would not recommend this diet

I lost 92 lbs on QWL (wanted to lose 140) and put it back on. If you follow their plan it will work as you are only eating about 1100 calories. I am now trying the diet on my own, using met-rx for the shakes, bought a carb blocked from Puritan Pride and using a high quality krill oil. If anyone knows of a metabolism booster please email me.

I just started it three weeks ago and has lost 19 lbs. But today I weight in at 5:30 in the P.M and had gained 4 lbs back and I haven't done anything different other than I ate less of the required food because my stomach has been very sensitive over the last 2 days. The question is if you eat less of the required foods does make you gain weight. Is there anyone that been on it for awhile answer that question please. Than in advance

I did QWL about 10 yrs ago and yes it's expensive but it's very well worth it this program really does work as long as you follow the plan strictly. You must go into the center at least 3 times a week. This keeps you accountable for what you're eating and it really does help you stay on track. I lost 70lbs in a 5 month period and it was easy and I was never hungry.

Do Not Buy Any Supplement Without Knowing Side Effects.
There are many weight loss supplements, pills, products in the market. In general scene, every action has same opposite reaction! Weight loss supplements are not different from that. It has also a side effect. Even a small amount of kind of supplement can cause anxiety, insomnia, jitteriness, irritability, nausea, diarrhea and other symptoms! It may have harmful effects over the long term, potentially contributing to fatty liver, insulin resistance and increased inflammation!!So important thing is to know how fairly and badly does work on us, Is there any element what is responsible for our health damage! As we know “Health is Wealth” So, now the big question is Which Product Is Right for Our Personality? Go through the link to get a SECRET eBook.

What I can say about this program…. I am in my 7th week out of 12 weeks, and I have lost 19 lbs. So I think it works, however… This is a business and as a business they want to sell sell sell…..
When I heard about this program on the radio they said 99 for 4 weeks and I said that is great…. But, it’s not true …. When I went for consultation the program went from over 2000 to 698. That 698 included the supplements for 6 weeks, 3 boxes of a protein shakes, 1 box of fiber and 3 boxes of energy boost, 12 weeks office visits and 4 more weeks of office visits after you are done with the program . I knew it was a lot of money buy I did it, I asked them before signing that if this was all I will have to pay and they yes, and in a very low voice just supplement that is all. I though vitamins and stuff not big deal…. After few days of prep I took a class and at the end and the class-video the real true of the program came through. They want to hit you with a ridiculous member ship that it will cost over 2000 and if you said no they keep trying to sell you anything and everything. The guy that it was trying to sell me all the stuff got very nasty when I refuse to buy anything. Then he show me graphs of numbers and numbers of savings if I get the member ship…. I still said no…..
After the class I got home and then this is when I got smart, I did my homework and with the supplements I got from them when I sing up I was able to see the manufacture for the pills and with a very little more research I found out you can buy everything online for a lot less money. Some items 50% less like the energy booster (QWL 39 – Online 20) (Metabolizer QWL 155 – Online 129) I though the energy bars where ridicules expensive $18 per 6 or 7 bars…. So that is when I said to myself let see if I can find something in the market close enough for a less money…. And unfortunately from them all the supplements, bars and more have all the nutrition fact in QWL website, then I learned what I need it to look for…. For example in the bars
Calories= less than 200
Sodium= Less tan 200mg
Protein= more than 10g
Sugars= Less than 10g
Total fat= less than 10g
Now, bars like this are not that easy to find and regular stores, so I went to Nutrition smart and whole foods, and I was able to find what I was looking for.
Then, I officially stared the program and within the first week they still trying to sell me their stuff, that is when I got upset and I told then I was able to find everything online….. They were very surprise when I knew the manufacture and the best part for me it was when they ask me to buy at least the protein bars, they instead that I have to take the protein bars to succeed ….and I told them I was taking them but a different ones…. They said I must to follow the program because and other bars may not be good for me, then I told them about my criteria selecting them …. I said I’m looking for less than 200 calories and the guy cut me off and said it’s not just about the calories, so I kept going with the sugar lees than 10g and he said that is way too much sugar… so I ask him do you know how many grams of sugar your bars have? And guess what? He did not know…. Then I said your QWL bars have from 6g to 14g of sugar… Then I finish with the rest of nutrition facts and he was very surprise…
Then he said if you do not take our products we cannot guaranty you lose the weight, I told him I had no choice because they were not honest to me about the cost and I will not buy anything from them. I told them 698 was a lot of money and I will not spend 150 to 200 a week in products I can buy for ½ of the price somewhere else. Then he made me singed a paper that they will no guarantee that I will lose the weight due to I’m using other products ….
However. I think besides the sell sell sell shit they give you, I think the program works. I cannot imagine not to be able to lose weight if you follow the diet…. It’s very hard diet but I’m sure if you do everything they tell you to do (except to buy their products) you will lose the weigh, May not be as quick as they claim but you will lose they weight quick.
After my 6th week my pills-supplements ended but I was able to find them online, and I did replace few of them like the FDS’s, Fiber, multivitamins and I stop taking the energy boost (amazing product by the way but a bit expensive for me, about 20 a week) I purchased online Metabolizer and carb blocker.
If you stick with it I believe you will lose the weight, I’m sure if you modified few things you will get results…. But the only thing I never modified was the diet…. If you are going to do the program do your homework….

It's interesting to read these accounts. Here is what I can tell you, I just started my 3rd (yes 3rd) time doing the QWLC diet. Why you might ask...because it works, but then as so many articles and so on have indicated, I boomeranged both other times. I now need to lose the weight again, and will be smarter to keep the weight off.

IF YOU want to get this diet to work for you, you MUST buy the additional supplements, they greatly increase your success rate with this program. With the supplements, I am not hungry between meals and lost 75 lbs in about 3.5 months. The starter pack is just that, a starter pack...so yes, you will need to buy more. Do you need to buy the entire 6 month supply they tell you to...heck NO! Buy a month or two at a time...its more expensive, but you will find the most well intentioned person forgets to take a pill here and there. PLUS, if you do NOT cheat, you WILL lose the weight fast and will not need the entire supply of supplements and snacks.

Now don't lie to yourself and to us, if you did not get the results promised, you did not strictly follow the diet plan, you did not take the supplements and you did not often visit the QWLC location where they can help you.. All these aspects are very key and the visits to the center are part of what you pay for. ANY cheating by eating non-diet foods in larger (or smaller quantities), yes ANY, can slow dramatically your weight loss.

So, if you already have the supplements, give it a chance...be STRONG!! But you MUST follow the diet exactly and taking the supplements how they ask you to take them will increase your chances of success greatly!
