Anyone tried the Sure Slim diet program (think it is only Canadian but not sure) How expensive was it etc??

Question

How did you find the costs? the food you ate? Were you successful?

Answer 1

I lost 30 pounds on Sure Slim when I lived in London.  The diet is available in the UK, Western Canada, Australia, NZ, etc., but NOT in the US as far as I know.  I think the upfront cost in Canada is about $800.  This gets you a personalized plan, based on the results of a blood test.  It is really only slightly "personalized"; the basic diet is a low-fat, low-carb program tailored somewhat to your lifestyle, blood test, etc.  Your upfront fee also pays for a personal weekly weigh-in and brief counseling session (no group stuff like WW), which for me was the best part.  (I had a really good counselor) There is only the one blood test; not weekly.

I LOVED this program.  My eating habits have changed FOR GOOD for the better, and although I have put some weight back on due to some stresses, whenever it gets out of control I just pull out the Sure Slim plan and go right back at it.  The program requires that one meal every day have a foundation of the "free" veggies (lettuce, cucumbers, etc) which means basically one meal each day will be a salad.  I have eaten a salad for lunch almost every day since then; I love to try different combinations of veggies and different protiens.

The other thing I will say is that I started to feel more energetic, healthier, and happier within a week or two of starting the program.  This makes it really easy to keep going.  I did have some headaches during the first week (can you say "detox"?), but Ibuprofen took care of those and they were gone in 2-3 days.

Absolutely the hardest part for me was NO ALCOHOL during the quick-loss phase.  But in the end this also resulted in a good lifestyle change for me.  I still drink a bit (mostly red wine) on special occasions, etc., but my heavy boozing days are gone for good and I'm sure I'm better for it.
