When you sign up for the plan you are given a meal plan and a ton of very expensive supplements. Then you go into their center and weigh in several times a week. My first clue that the program probably wouldn’t work should have been the overweight “counselors” that were at the center I went to. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe the have once been even larger than they currently were and were in the process of losing weight on the Quick Weight Loss plan. One claimed to have lost weight using the plan (she was the smallest but still by no means thin by my standards) and another claimed she was on the plan but I saw her at Target recently (after about 9 months) and she is still as fat as always.

Anyway, like I said, you will lose weight if you follow the meal plan but it’s a plan that is impossible for anybody to stick with long term. They claim that once you reach your goal weight you can slowly add back in “normal” foods under their supervision but I don’t see how you would ever keep your weight off if you did that. Its not like once your body reaches some magic weight you are going to be able to eat the foods that would cause you gain weight when you went off plan when you were losing weight.

I think the goal of Quick Weight Loss is to keep you on their plan long term because one of the many products they sell is their “lifetime maintenance program.” Why would you need that if once you lost your weight you would have the ability to keep it off? After all they claim they are teaching you to “eat right.”

The biggest part of their plan and the biggest money makers for them are the pricey supplements they push on you. I only had 25 lbs to lose and my plan with supplements cost almost $2000. It seemed every time I went in (3 times a week) they were trying to sell me something which really irked me. The whole reason I even got on their plan in the first place was so I could get off RX diet pills (ie supplements.) Had I wanted to keep buying diet products I would have never tried Quick Weight Loss. I haven’t been into their office/store in almost 9 months and every single week one of their “counselors” will call me (I let it go to voicemail) with some special they are having on some supplement.

Before anybody pays for the Quick Weight Loss program I would recommend you just go to your family doctor and have a health assessment and ask for an RX of phentermine (your doctor is qualified to say if you are healthy enough to take it or not) and an eating plan. Then buy a good pair of walking shoes and hit the pavement. In the long run (no pun intended) you will save a ton of money and see real long term results.
