I just started this program and am on my first week. I am a little skeptic about the 3 lbs a week. I am looking to see where I can get supplements cheaper. Thank you to everyone who post info. It really helps the newbies.

I joined the Home Program last week, 1 - because I do not live in the area of any of the centers and 2 - after reading all the costs involved in joining the actual center. I was called by a rep and she started telling me all the bars, drinks, and supplements I needed to buy. I told her "a friend" had given me alot of the stuff already and she said great!! Then all you need are the Quick Boost drinks for now. No pressure and very nice, she emailed me the 3 day Program and the food list. I ordered all the bars, shakes and supplements from dietdirect.com after matching the ingredients from the website. I've only spent about 300.00 for a 8 weeks of food and supplements. I started the 3 day program on Monday so today is my last day for this then I start the regular diet. I guess if you don't need the one on one in your face instruction it is fairly easy to follow, it is just portion control and cutting out alot of sugar, fat, salt and bad carbs. One question though I did not buy the EFA-Essential fatty acids or the Carb Blocker, just seems like alot of pills to take on top of the Hoodia and the Multivitamins everyday, anyone else not buy them and see a difference?

justnotsure, your review was aimed directly at me! I joined last wed 6days ago and have until tomorrow to cancel the contract. My concern is the finance charge on the Care Credit they offered. I consider myself to be shrewd negotiator but I was a blubering lump of tears when I went in for the "free consultation" and now I'm up at 5am hoping I have'nt been suckered into a bill that is going to have such a high finance charge, that I'll be stuck on paying it off for the next 5years!!!!

I am on my first week of this diet. So far I am very pleased with the results. I know $628 seems like a lot up front...but if you break it down.....a nutiritionist and /or psychotherapist is going to run you anywhere between 40-200 bucks per session....and idieally you would go once a week...plus you are saving money one the food you are eating. If you add up the cost of a nutritionist alone, that would come out to 10 weeks of sessions at a conservative $65. It seems a bit shady that they require you to be on "their" supplements...and I am sure if you did the nutirional research you could dose yourself accordingly without throwing out the extra money. Try for various vitmans and supplements at great prices. Once my starter pack runs out I'll probably tell them to kiss my because I am sure I can get the supplements cheaper. I'll post again once I have finished the program to give my overall opinion.

I joined on July 15, 2008. I was an emotional wreck when i went in, so i kind of feel i was suckered into the whole program. Walking in as a FREE consultation....has never before cost me 700$ anywhere else, but if i wanted to start with a "DISCOUNTED" price, i had to drop that first bit of money that night. Although the program has worked for me for the most part...I feel that i have reached a dollar amount point, that i am done giving them any more of my money. I may not reach my goal weight by the due date ( mine was to be 13 weeks) so yesterday they tell me they will have to charge me an additional 45$ a week until i reach that goal, or go straight into stabilization....well I don't want to stabilize when I am only 10 pounds shy of my goal. ( Went from 177 to 147 since 7/15) I have told them that i will not be buying anymore products, and that i appreciate the kick in the butt i got, but i Honestly think i can take it from here. My problem was drinking alcohol. I have had a few drinks here and there but only on a Sat evening then went straight into the water flush the next day. I will not completely stay true to the diet, as I still have a life to live, and there are so many things to enjoy. The program has taught me many things for which i am grateful for...and to be the smallest i have been in over 4 years is truly amazing. I love the diet change, of course i still crave the BAD stuff, don't we all? But i haven't been starving, and have become quite the creative one with the choices that i am allowed, so creative in fact , my husband waits to see what i am making myself for dinner before he decides on what he was going to have, because he knows, mine will probably be much tastier, and healthier then what was on his mind.

My point is.....every single cost, should be revealed up front to potential weight loss clients. Don't try and pressure them into "applying for a care credit card" ( i already had one, so was pressured to use it) If a person needs 24 to 48 hours to digest the information during the FREE consultation, then they should hold that "PROMOTIONAL RATE" that they offer that first night.

Although they are happy for the clients as they are losing the weight, they are just as happy to take your money, but what should we expect, their first job is as a salesperson, not a nutritionist. The goal is to make the company loads of moolah! Look at the board for weekly weight loss achievers, there is usually about 30 people up on it....If i have spent 2,000 so far, and you guestimate they all have done the same...well....you can do the math...

I do have friends that want to know how i am eating, and how often and so forth, and i will share that information freely with them. Then it's like my money is spread out a little further..LOL

If there is anyone that would like to pen'/pal and update each other of the others progress. ( of course mine being w/o any more of their products) just let me know.

Also, i found some similiar products on dietdirect.com, if you ask someone at the center about these, they will tell you they are not fresh and usually expired. I called dietdirect.com myself and was told they do not ship out anything that is expired. ...Thanks for listening. Have a great week, I will check back on MOnday!

So far I have been on the program for two weeks and have lost about a total of 8 lbs! I am soo happy! I have tried just about everthing even the real brazillian pills (which are awesome appetite supresants) but I know they are not a healthy way to loose weight. I have all the information on the diet and I am willing to share it with anyone. I have 31 LBS to go!

My wifemy daughter and I have been on it for 5 weeks and I have lost 30 lbs and the wife 12 and Daughter 10. The cost is a big factor for us and a Big incentive to keep going...The on on one is great..and if you can get better deals on the Supplements it makes it even Cheaper!! Does anyone know a cheap alternative but the same for the Quick Boost Energy Drinks they sell?

This program is great. My doctor told me I needed to loose weight. It has always been a struggle for me. My wife and I joined 7 weeks ago, To date I have lost 28 pounds, she 24. It works. Just follow the guidelines, and in fact, there is more food than I can eat. And you eat regular food. You can eat a 1/2 of a baked potatoe 3 times a week. You can eat beef too. The counselors are there to keep you on track. No they are not doctors, but they do know the plan. Expensive, maybe, but you can get their products on ebay if you watch closely for some savings. This plan works and I am on my way to reaching my goal. For those who say it is expensive, nothing is cheap, you get what you pay for. It is the most liberal diet plan I have seen and I am even cutting back on my diabetic medication. What a difference. I strongly suggest this program. It works when it is followed.

QWLC really is the fastest, safest way to lose weight. Their counselors are there for you every step of the way. I especially love how they help you through each and every plateau... plateaus are a nightmare when you're trying to lose weight, and the counselors always know how to break you through them!! The plan is really only expensive when you don't think about how much OTHER programs *actually* cost you. Most other programs require you to buy stuff too-- the difference is, QWLC lets you buy it all in BULK at the beginning and save money!! So yeah the price tag SEEMS high because most other diets add it on bit by bit as you go along, instead of letting you buy it all up front to reduce your cost. PLUS you lose weight so much faster... so you don't need to be on it as long and buy as many supplements as on other programs. Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, you're going to blow way more money on these AND you have to eat their nasty food AND you still have to buy 50% of your food for each day!! With QWLC you eat REAL food bought from the store and you can even eat at restaurants. The only program I can think of that really is cheaper is Weight Watchers... and that's because they don't have much to sell you! 50 calories = a point, eat these many points every day. If losing weight were really that easy we'd all be skinny. QWLC works on several levels, the reduced calories of course but then also the ratios of the foods you can have are scientifically designed to speed weight loss, plus the supplements which also speed the weight loss (and are really good too lol)... plus no one can deny that being accountable to someone else, seeing the counselors every week definitely helps you stay motivated!! Think about it, you have to pay each time you see a doctor or nutritionist, with this program you can come in to the center ANY TIME to talk to the counselor and get their help, its all included. And also, don't buy supplements on discount sites-- don't you wonder why they're so cheap? Its because they get the old, stale supplements and sell them at a discount. Gross! The supplements are more expensive because of the high quality ingredients and the fact they're so high in protein. Compare the bars to any protein bar you can find in the supermarket, you will see the calorie/carb/protein ratio can't be beat. Not to mention the taste. Oh and back to the program being expensive, I actually find I save money because I'm not eating takeout fatty greasy foods anymore, I am making good food desicions without feeling hungry and desperate any more. Plus my "skinny" clothes are starting to fit again, so I'm saving money by not having to buy more "fat" clothes! And anyway, can you really put a price tag on your health??

Just be aware when i joined the cost was $628,i then did the research and found out about the additional cost, (Should of done before). When i then cancelled before i did the so called nutritional class they only refunded $148. Apparently $270 for the vitamins etc which give you the shakes and the a $210 cancellation fee. so out of the $628 i am getting back $ 148 after three days. Be very aware of the cost before you sign or walk out of the building with anything.

I think that the program is very expensive when you have to buy the pills and the supplements, on the other handbut the counseling is not as expensive, however the counselors are not prepare at all, just try to think in a smart question about nutrition and you will see. They do not know what is a Carbohydrate or a Protein, they are poorly trained, the only think that they care is about the money they can take from you. Good Luck. But again a fad diet.
