Review
Summary |
One more “magic weight-loss approach” has entered the market now that Quick Weight Loss Centers are popping up in Southern Florida. With their advertising asking, “Do you want to feel better, improve your health, have more energy, increase your self-esteem and confidence, learn healthy eating habits and finally lose your weight?” it is easy to see why dieters feel a glimmer of hope that this program may finally be “the one” that will work. Add to that the detailed testimonials posted on the website and the promise that all this can be yours without exercise and you can see why people give Quick Weight Loss Centers
a try. With centers only located in Florida, and no on-line program, this program is obviously not for everyone. The fact that clients are expected to check in several times a week is time consuming and will also be very limiting in interest to most. |
| Concept At a Glance |
|
Quick Weight Loss Centers focus on teaching individuals how to make low calorie food choices. They combine this with one-on-one coaching to help individuals lose weight. They do not sell a food and state that all the food they help you learn to prepare is from a regular grocery store. They do have a line of products that they sell (salad dressings, soup mixes, puddings, and one supplement-100% pure Hoodia Extract for appetite suppression) but this is not a formal part of their weight loss plan.
The program begins with a free consultation, which is offered by trained individuals. During this meeting a nutritional plan and exercise regimen will be established. The eating plan is mostly limited to 1500 calories a day, but there are exceptions for clients who need more or less. Clients are expected to check in several times a week to the clinic to determine progress. They may receive individual counseling or go to a behavioral education class which teaches the skills necessary to live healthy and manage weight. Since each program is developed around the client, it is easy to consider different health conditions and any changes to the program they may demand.

| Cost |
|
We were unable to find any prices for the Quick Weight Loss Centers program. They do not offer this information on their website which we found very inconvenient. When we called the 800 number to get a price we were put on hold and after some time were disconnected.
|
| Website In Focus |
|
The Quick Weight Loss Center’s website is full of information, but unfortunately doesn’t tell you very much. There are no details about their food plans, their employees, what to you can expect from your appointment, and most important what it costs. There were several testimonials on the website with before and after pictures that were fairly realistic. There were sample recipes that we could look at without logging in as a member.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Quick Weight Loss Centers seem to offer some guidance in learning to eat foods with fewer calories but there doesn’t appear to be much more to the program. The website did not provide the basic information that consumers would want to know before signing up with a clinic. We are also concerned that the center promises long term weight loss but does not encourage or incorporate exercise. They proudly state that they can guarantee you will lose weight without having to exercise. This is unrealistic for long-term weight loss. Without more information it is impossible to know what to expect with the Quick Weight Loss Centers. If you live in Florida and want to try the center keep in mind that you will need to call to get a price for their services and that the company does not offer a money back guarantee on their website.
We certainly support healthy eating and behavior modification, and we recognize that some people need that extremely close one on one monitoring, but this program just seems incomplete somehow. We also have the feeling that the program is relatively costly when compared to a few other diet programs that offer community meetings and support for dieters, and we wonder about the value offered here. Exercise should be a part of any healthy plan and we can’t help but be concerned about a program that works overtime to let you know you don’t have to exercise to follow their diet. People interested will just have to weigh the value offered along side the cost. Any diet program can be enhanced by the use of a good diet supplement, however. Choose one that uses a two fold approach; an appetite suppressant to curb cravings, and a fat-burner to improve the metabolism.
