New Flavours - New Forumula - New Packaging

WoodyB — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 13:38:05 GMT

Dear All,

I am delighted to announce the two NEW flavours additions to the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Menu which are Caramel & Chai Latte :w00t:

These flavours are currently only available on line and NOT at Terry White Chemists or Tony Ferguson Weightloss Centres.

Now, these two new flavours are made with our NEW forumula which includes extra FIBRE and OMEGA 3's and also come in lovely new packaging which is nice to look at and much easier to open.

Two of our existing flavours are also being released in the new forumula and packaging and they are the WILD BERRY and MOCHA flavours. These existing flavours are also still available in the original formula and original packaging and NO changes to formulation or packaing have been made to any other existing flavours.

Feel free to contact us here at the call centre if you have any questions with regard to the new flavours, formula's and packaging.

Enjoy!

What's your Inspiration

WoodyB — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:00:55 GMT

Hello again TF'ers

WHAT'S YOUR INSPIRATION?

Tony Ferguson Magazine would like to know what keeps you motivated? Losing weight can be a long, challenging process. Many people focus on a goal or have a specific inspiration that keeps them on track. Is it being able to play with your children? Fitting into an old pair of jeans? Or are you working up to a special event such as a wedding or a reunion? Whatever keeps you going, we want to hear from you! Please email us at editors@tonyferguson.com.

Making Room For New Exciting Flavours

RitaTF — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:26:16 GMT

Dear TF'ers

To keep the Tony Ferguson product range fresh and interesting, we are looking at adding exciting new flavours to the sachet range early next year.

To make room in the range for these great new additions, we will ‘rest’ other flavours and given that we feel all of our flavours are as delicious as each other, the decision of which flavours to rest is a difficult one.

The first flavour to be ‘rested’ will be Tropical Mango and stock of this flavour will run out within the next 3 – 4 weeks both in store and on line.

We apologise to everyone who loves their Tropical Mango shakes but we believe that when you taste the new flavours you will fall in love with them as quickly as you did with Tropical Mango.

Kind regards,

Rita TF

Terry White Chemist Geelong

Daniel - Tony Ferguson — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:25:37 GMT

Hello forum users,

As some have discussed on here, the Terry White Chemist in Geelong closed suddenly last week. At this time it isn't known if it will come back, however we're hopeful it will. It has left a number of customer stuck for a local source of the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program and we apologise for the impact this has.

While we're awaiting the outcome of the closure the best solution we have to continue on the Program is by ordering with our Customer Support Centre by phoning 1800 612 644. This centre is open 24 hours Monday-Friday and 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday at the moment, so you can contact them when you have some free time.

Please keep an eye on the Announcement section where we will update this once we have more details.

Sachet Ingredients Response

WoodyB — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:18:48 GMT

Dear All,

As a follow up to the post on Friday regarding changes to the formula of Tony Ferguson sachets, we have tried to again answer the questions raised throughout a number of posts over the past week. Again it needs to be pointed out that detailed information about our products and formulas is often sensitive commercial information. If at times we are unable to answer questions in as much detail as some forum users wish, it is not to deliberately keep information hidden, only to protect our business.

Protein; as previously posted, the change to the quantity of protein in the shakes has been made based on recommendations by our nutritional team. This change results from research into the roles of various proteins in weight loss.

Carbohydrate; as a result of the change in protein, the amount of carbohydrate in the formula needed to be increased to maintain the sachets energy content (which is required to be at least 850 kj). Importantly the change in protein and carbohydrate has resulted in no change to the energy content of the sachet and will not affect your ability to lose weight using the product. Our nutritional team has pointed out that natural variation in your diet through your daily choices of fruit, vegetable and protein containing foods while on the Tony Ferguson Program will result in larger changes in protein and carbohydrate levels.

Maltodextrin; there has been a very small change in the amount of Maltodextrin as a result of the small increase in carbohydrate in the sachet. Again the impact of this change is far smaller then potential variation in your diet while on the program.

Sodium and Vitamins; as previously posted, these nutrients can vary based on the original milk product supplied. This information is updated each time a new label is prepared to reflect the latest information provided by our milk product supplier.

Flavour/Texture; when making a product such as this, there will always be very minor variations in flavour and texture from one batch to another. The changes made to the formula will not cause any greater change than would normally be expected.

Allergies; because there has been no new ingredients added to the formula, only small variations in ratios of current ingredients, there is no reason for customers to now suffer allergic reactions who were previously allergy free.

Communication; due to the minor nature of these changes, as a company we decided that it was unnecessary to make widespread announcements about the change. Clearly for a small number of customers this has caused some confusion and concern. This was certainly not our intention.

Finally a suggestion was made by one post that these changes were designed to lengthen the amount of time customers took to achieve their goal weight. This is categorically not the case. The success of our company is completely based on the success of our customers. To deliberately delay or risk the weight loss of our customers completely undermines the principles of Tony Ferguson and the ultimate success of Tony Ferguson Weightloss.

We hope that this will allow each of you using Tony Ferguson to continue your weight loss journey with confidence.

Healthy Eating Plan vs. Progress

GemTF — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:33:53 GMT

Dear Customers,

Please be aware the Tony Ferguson One Shake a Day Plan is now referred to as the Healthy Eating Plan. This Plan is only available to person’s under 16 years of age (after gaining medical consent).

To replace the Healthy Eating Plan, we offer an exciting new development to the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program called Progress.

Progress looks at the psychology behind eating and weightloss- and helps us to understand why eat the foods we eat. To develop this Program, Tony Ferguson teamed up with medical doctor and psychiatrist Dr George Blair-West who has had many years of experience working with weight loss clients and looking at the psychological aspects of eating.

On Progress you can eat the foods you love and still lose weight! Once registered on Progress our highly trained practitioners will design an individualised program to suit your needs and lifestyle.

Differences between the Weightloss and Progress Programs:

Food Option

Weightloss Program

Progress Program

Shakes or Soups

Replaces 2 main meals per day

(14 per week)

Replaces 1 main meal per day & a second main meal 3 – 4 times per week (10 – 14 per week).

Lean Meat or Meat Alternatives (Protein Serve)

Every day for the 3^rd meal. Note: clients with higher BMI’s will require additional.

Every day for the 3^rd Meal. Note: clients with higher BMI’s will require additional.

Vegetables

Minimum of 3 cups per day

Low GI Fruit

2 serves per day

Treats

2 serves per week from our Treats list

Most love foods replaces these

Breads or Cereals (low GI options)

3 – 4 days per week on days when 1 Shake or Soup is only consumed .

Most Loved Foods

Approximately 3 – 4 times per week *

Back Up Foods

Approximately 2 – 3 times per week as required **

Dairy Serve

Is already part of the Shakes & Soups

3 – 4 per week on days when 1 Shake or Soup is only consumed.

* Most Loved Foods are snacks or meals that you are missing the most and can’t imagine living without. These are discussed with a practitioner and prescribed as part of the Program.

** Back Up Foods are used as a safety net for hunger any time during the week when you are at risk of making bad food choices.

Things to note:

· Tony Ferguson supplements are still recommended on Progress.

· In most cases we prefer customers to register and try the Weightloss phase of our Program for 3 weeks before moving to Progress. This will provide an opportunity to learn about the Program, lose weight and determine if the Weightloss Program is suitable as well as determine which foods are being missed the most.

· Progress is available in most Tony Ferguson clinics and Terry White Chemists or Tony Ferguson Weightloss & Wellness Centres and through our Call Centre (phone 1800 612 644).

Costs

To register on Progress, it will cost just $ 9.95. This includes a Progress booklet which is full of valuable information on why we eat the foods we do and an individualised program designed just for you. Once you have registered on Progress, you can move between both Progress and our Weightloss Program as you wish!

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Call Centre on 1800 612 644.

Introduction

The purpose of the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program Forum is to support our members in their weight loss journey and to provide information on our products and Program. The Forum provides a community where members can share their experiences; seek the support and guidance of our staff and of other members who have shared the journey themselves.

Our Forum

This guide is designed to strike a balance between the main goal of our Forum providing support, and keeping the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for our members.

Tony Ferguson Weightloss cannot determine the accuracy of information that may be uploaded to the Forum therefore opinions, advice and all other information expressed by participants in discussions are those of the author. You rely on such information at your own risk. You are urged to seek professional advice for specific, individual situations and not rely solely on advice or opinions given in the discussions.

1. We require all posts to be positive, polite, constructive, and on topic. You may not make personal attacks on other members or staff members either in public Forums or private messages.

2. You may not copy to, upload to, post to or otherwise distribute on this web site anything protected by copyright or other proprietary rights unless the owner of the applicable copyright or proprietary right has given you express written authorisation for such copying, uploading, posting or distribution.

3. Any material for which permission has been granted to copy, upload, post or otherwise distribute must contain all requisite copyright management notices and language indicating that such material is being used by express permission of the owner thereof.

5. You are prohibited from copying to, uploading to, posting to or otherwise distributing on this web site any unlawful, threatening, obscene, improper, intimidating, libellous, defamatory or slanderous comments, jokes, images or content that are intended to or are likely to offend a reasonable person on the basis of his or her age, physical or mental disability, gender, race, religion, national origin, physical attributes, or any other classification that could produce any civil or criminal liability for either yourself or for Tony Ferguson, its shareholders, employees, agents, affiliates or any such similarly situated persons or entities.

10. Pictures may be posted as long as they are not explicit or offensive. If you plan to post more than one image, or the topic is based on graphics, please link the images rather than embedding them – this assists members on low speed links.

15. Violation of any of these rules will result in consequences determined on a case-by-case basis.

16. All posts must be written in English.

The same rules apply to private messages as apply in the Forum area. Do not abuse the Private Message system in any way. It is not there to provide an avenue for 'off the record' harassment. Complaints received about Private Messages will be dealt with in the same manner as complaints received from the general Forum.

Private Messages are called Private Messages because they are.... Private!

Please don't post other people's private messages to the public section of the board without their permission.

CHANGE OF FLAVOUR

Froggie — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 19:25:52 GMT

hi all

it hasn't happened to me yet but I have been reading that some ppl are experiencing some bad tasting flavours of shakes

my hubby had an idea if those that had a weird tasting shake could post here the flavour & batch number , the use by date and where u purchased from it might help others check theirs before they open them and they can be return for a fresh one

just an idea so we don't have to open weird tasting flavour :w00t:

Editing & Deleting Posts - Updated

RitaTF — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:41:30 GMT

Dear TF Customers,

Apologies, the original statement was not entirely correct.

Members of the forum can edit their own posts, as always. It is true that a small number of members have not been able to do this and the IT department has assisted in most cases.

What has changed is that members no longer have the ability to delete posts, their own or anyone else's. This should not be a big issue for anyone, and is in line with the members rights of most forums.

Should you double post, for example, you can notify a moderator who will delete the second entry.

If you have any further questions in regards to the above, please do not hesitate to send an email to enquiries@tonyferguson.com.

Kind regards,

Angela TF

Medical Detailing

Tony Ferguson — Thu, 11 May 2006 20:17:22 GMT

Hello to everyone,

Recently,I advised that Hilda would be our Medical Detailer--calling on GP's wherever there was a need for advice re our program.

Hilda has made several doctor visits and its sad to realise that our madicos are just not aware of the educational element in our program.

Furthermore,within their ranks there is no comprehensive understanding about KETOSIS and how it really works on releasing fat deposits in the body.

On the other hand Hilda is finding some jewels in the crown--by this I mean that occasionally there is a medico who is onside and willing to refer patients to us for help.

Hilda is going to England because her husband is being offered an exciting job over there.

However we are intending to replace Hilda with hopefully someone close to her standard.

She will be back in 6 months and it will be all guns blazing in her role of converting doctors from writing bandaid scripts for appetite suppressants to referrals onto our program.

Bottom line to what I'm saying here is that medicos are not really up to speed in the control of obesity.

They receive almost zero training in the medical course at University--which is a mystery!

We will press on with this program to the doctors nevertheless because it is just so important that we help them to help us.

I'm just back from a training week in Qld for Terry White Chemists---if any of you live near a Terry White then don't hesitate to call on them ---they are wonderful people.

Best wishes

Tony Ferguson

PCOS

WoodyB — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:20:46 GMT

Dear All,

We are currently writing an article for the next quarterly TF Magazine about PCOS and how being on the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program can reduce the symptons associated with this.

If you are someone that has found your symptoms have been reduced since being on our program, we would love to hear from you.

Please forward your details including your contact telephone number and a convenient time to contact you to enquiries@tonyferguson.com

Thank you.

UPDATED INFORMATION REGARDING CAFFEINE

shorty — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:46:32 GMT

Dear Customers

Tony Ferguson has been cautious in our caffeine guidelines in the past as nutritional

information regarding caffeine has been conflicting. Some studies display a

detrimental affect whereas others suggest beneficial effects.

Our intentions have been to ensure you get the best weight loss and health

improvements possible. Feedback from our customers over time has shown that a

low caffeine intake has not affected their weight loss or health.

A recent look at some of the many studies conducted on caffeine appears that a

low caffeine intake is unlikely to have a huge effect on our weight or health in

general.

Health effects as a consequence of caffeine intake may differ from one person to

another depending on previous caffeine intakes, quantity consumed and health

status. If your doctor has advised you to limit or avoid caffeine for any health reason,

doctor’s advice should be followed.

We would like to take a more balanced view of the matter and have allowed a

limited amount of caffeine on the Program in the past through the allowance of 3

cups of regular tea or 5 cups of green tea. We recognise that having a morning or

afternoon cup of coffee is often a tradition that people find hard to give up and from

experience we feel that having one cup instead of the other caffeinated beverage

allowance if preferred should not affect your customer’s weight loss.

Here are the caffeinated beverage guidelines:

Limit caffeine:

· You may choose 1 cup of black coffee OR 3 cups of decaffeinated coffee

OR 3 cups of tea OR 5 cups of green tea.

· You may have as much herbal tea as desired.

· Soft drinks should be diet and caffeine free.

No Added Gluten Flavours

RitaTF — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:19:48 GMT

Dear Tfers

Some great news for Tfers that are on a no added gluten diet.

There are no new gluten free flavours as such, but some of our existing flavours have been classed as low gluten as there is no added gluten during their production.

As with the Banana and Wildberry we can not guarantee that they are 100% gluten free.

The no added gluten flavours are;

- Shakes - Banana, Chocolate and Wildberry.

- Soups - Creme of Chicken, Field Mushroom, Asian Curry and Mediterranean Tomato.

All these flavours should be suitable for Coeliac's to consume.

Share your experience with fellow TFer's

WoodyB — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:48:35 GMT

Dear All,,

We’d like to hear from you about your experience staying focused on your goal weight while following the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program.

Did you come to a weight loss plateau? How or why do you think the plateau came about? How did reaching a plateau make you feel? How did you overcome the plateau?

Most importantly, what kept you focused on your goals?

We get a lot of these types of questions from TFer's on the forum and we believe that they will benefit tremendously from your experiences and ultimately, your triumph over the more difficult times :hehe:

We look forward to reading your posts as I'm sure fellow TFer's will.

New book

Tracey68 — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:43:00 GMT

Haven't seen anything on the forum yet, so I thought I'd let everyone know I got the progress book yesterday.

TF needs you!

Greg - Tony Ferguson — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 11:24:14 GMT

As you are aware, GST has been placed on our shakes, increasing the cost and in some cases making the program unaffordable for some participants. We are collating as much information as possible to argue our case to have the GST removed.

Please follow the link below to a form requesting information in regards to your experience on the program. We are especially interested in hearing about any medication reductions as a result of the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program.

UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAUCES AND DRESSINGS

shorty — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:00:53 GMT

Dear Customers,

We have recently received some updated information regarding the allowed sauces and dressings list. Previously you were allowed to use a product if the carbohydrates were 5g or less per 100g, you are now allowed to use an item from this list if the carbohydrates are 5g or less per serve.

There are Extra items that may be enjoyed EVERY DAY on the Tony Ferguson

Weightloss Program. When choosing these, follow our below guidelines.

Packaged Proteins

Less than 5g of carbohydrates per 100g

Sauces, Dressings & Gravies

These products can be used, in small amounts to flavour your meals. Ensure that they are:

Less than 5g of carbohydrates per SERVE

You have a maximum of 420kJ/100 Calories total from these products per DAY

As a general guideline, you may choose from one of the following each day:

Dressings: 1- 2 Tablespoons (20-40mL)

Sauces and Gravy: ¼ - ½ a cup (60-120mL)

Mayonnaise and Caesar dressing: 1 Tablespoon (20mL)

Sugar - free Lollies

These are allowed on a daily basis but it is important to keep to the suggested amounts as they contain extra calories and too many

will cause a laxative effect:

Hard lollies e.g. TF Butterscotch: Max 6 lollies per day

Soft Chewy lollies e.g. TF Strawberry Chews: Max 3 lollies per day

Sweetened Beverages

Some sweetened beverages can be enjoyed on the Program. Ensure they are:

Less than 1g of carbohydrate per 100mL

Soft drinks are sugar free and caffeine free

As a general guideline:

Diet cordial - small amounts to flavour your water

Diet, sugar-free soft drinks – maximum of 3 glasses per day

Shopping for Extras

When buying products the Total Carbohydrates must be:

Packaged protein: 5g or less per 100g

Sauces, Dressings or Gravy: 5g or less per serve

Diet cordial or soft drinks: 1g or less per 100mL

Sugar-free lollies: 1g or less per 100g

introducing Simply Diet-Jelly

Greg - Tony Ferguson — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 16:42:41 GMT

Simply Diet Jelly is the recommended diet jelly to be consumed while following the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program. It comes in a range of four delicious flavours including; raspberry, port wine, lime and strawberry and is allowed in unlimited quantities each day.

4 mouthwatering flavours - to excite the tastebuds

port wine – luscious raisin fruit flavour

lime – refreshing & zesty lime flavour

raspberry – supple, juicy raspberry fruit flavour

strawberry – sweet and delicious strawberry flavour

The benefits of Simply Diet Jelly are that it contains inulin, a form of soluble fibre, which can assist in helping relieve constipation especially when used in combination with Simply Fibre. The other advantage of this product is that it contains chromium, which helps relieve the cravings associated with low carbohydrate consumption and when combined with the jelly it makes a perfect snack for when those cravings do strike. Simply Diet Jelly is safe for use with both the Simply Balanced and Simply Chromium supplements.

TF Program Sachet Price Increase

WoodyB — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 08:56:02 GMT

Hello all TF'ers,

For some time now, Tony Ferguson has been absorbing the rising costs of raw materials that form part of the ingredients in the Tony Ferguson sachets. The impact of the rising costs now necessitates a price increase in some Tony Ferguson products.

Effective from today (10th September 2007), all Tony Ferguson shakes will increase to RRP $3.25, and the soups will rise to RRP $3.20.

If you should have any further enquiries, please contact the Tony Ferguson Call Centre on 1800 612 644.
