Slimgenics weight loss program review Fort Collins Colorado 2017

SlimGenics is similar to  Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig in that it claims to be able to help you lose weight because they offer support which turns out to be a necessary component to weight loss. It’s one of those companies that blends several different elements together to include online support, clinics, and of course their own brand of products that they are happy to sell to you. So is this a good program ?

 

Support system

They do have an awesome online support system that people like. While family support on a weight loss program is important, if you do not have that having some other support can make you successful. Slimgenics succeeds with this.

 

Cost

There initial program only cost 79 dollars. What they do not tell you is the extra stuff you have to buy costs a lot more. Employee pay is commission based so you know they are trying to sell you every product under the sun , whether you need it or not. You can see employee opinions here at Glassdoor.  Slimgenics has customers sign a contract stating they will buy so much of a product every week. I have put some of the prices of products in the images below . 

 

229 dollars or 459 dollars for weight loss starter kits ? Really ? I once asked my son ” How can people lose weight ?”  He answered “Stop eating”  . Out of the mouths of babes.

Product Quality and Weight Loss

I did look at the ingredients of the some of their products. The snacks tend to be high carbohydrate, low fat, moderate protein. The basis of the program seems to be calorie reduction. 

 

I am a nurse practitioner and I have studied weight loss and have treated thousands of patients. Lets look at the top snack which has  90 calories. That is pretty good simply because it is not too many calories. On the other hand, a calorie is not just a calorie. I did a video in the past explaining this. You can check that out on another blog post. Basically your body is a two compartment storage system and as long as you have insulin around you will never burn fat. So  with 14 gm of carbohydrates you are getting an insulin spike which will cause you to store fat. Now if this was the only thing you were eating all day that would be ok. But with constantly snacking on foods like this  if you are carbohydrate intolerant you will not lose weight. Snacks numbers 5 and 7 are exactly the same. The other snacks have a higher protein content. I guess Slimgenics missed the part in anatomy and physiology class that taught them where gluconeogenesis will convert protein into carbs when the body needs it. Ideally  you want a low carb, moderate protein, high fat diet . That kind of diet is sustainable. 

I think you can lose weight on any diet program. Actually people do lose weight short term on just about any plan. The question is whether it is sustainable and the Slimgenics Weight Loss program is not sustainable in the long term. . I give  Slimgenics  a  grade of  C. I only give  them a C  because they  are limiting calories which will cause people to  lose weight in the short term. In the long run it is not sustainable . If we are talking about a healthy lifestyle your program gets an F.
