Hiya

I paid my $800 to Sure Slim a few years back and never really got stuck into the lifestyle.

Although diets are personalised, to a degree, these are the basics:

5 hours between all meals
No snacks
No eating after 8pm
Lowish Carb and Low GI plan

I found it a bit unsociable not eating after 8pm, waiting 5 hours and all the malarky! I also don't see how not snacking helps your metabolism, yet in saying that I'm friends with Rutene who is on the ads here in NZ and he's lost over 100kg! Awesome man.

My best friend also lost and has maintained the loss of 35kg - she lost this over 3 years ago now.

So, like all diet plans or changes in lifestyle it's about finding one that suits both your personality, wallet and lifestyle - I strongly believe they all work if you stick to 'the rules'.

...it's up to us in the big picture though whether those rules suit us :)

I've never tried Sureslim but i just want to say that it is terrible that so many people's program was the same but had different results in the blood tests. Gee, If they want you to take a blood test they could at least give you the right info.

hmm, guess ill never be tryin that one.

I haven't tried SureSlim myself, but EVERYONE I've spoken to about it has said that they were given exactly the same diet as their friends that did it when they were completely different body types etc.
I haven't heard of anyone that's had a slightly different diet, and that can't be a good sign. And $800 before you get any results... That's a bit rich! I've heard that it's because you're buying a way of living rather than actual product, but if that's the case and the diet works you'd think it'd cost less as more people would be inclined to do it *shrug*.

I know TF isn't an insta-loss diet for most people, but I'd prefer the slow and steady results that it provides without feeling like I'm living on a diet that I couldn't sustain.

hi, yes like the other posts I done SureSlim several years ago and

didnt like it one bit, it was too restrictive... Everything had to be

weighed to the last gram!! No bread, pasta, rice, potatos at all!!

Natural Yogurt with Flaxseeds for breakfast (YUK).....

I stuck to it as best I could and when I didnt lose what they expected

me to lose they told me I wasnt committed enough and so I told them where

to go and ended up getting half of my $800 back....

Then last year a friend done the SureSlim program and after having bloodtests,

we compared diet sheets and they were identical...

According to them I was allergic to Carbs and needed to avoid them completly!!:w00t:

I have since compared my results and my friends to two other peoples program and so far all the same!!

I wouldnt waste my money or time with SureSlim, it doesnt teach you anything about food!!

I was starving the whole time I was on the program!!

I would love to know if everyone receives an identical food plan as I suspect they do. I hope people will post theirs so we can compare. Thanks!

I agree with the other people that have posted. I also tried sureslim (only just finished paying it off!) and only managed to stick to it for a month. It was very strict and food had to be eaten 5-7 hours apart. This was terribly hard for me and I was always hungry until I ate a meal then it was hard to eat it all!

I did lose weight really quickly (on sureslim) but gained it all back in the first week of stopping as well as gaining an extra 5kgs in the week after!

Apart from a coffee lapse today I have found this program really flexible and easy to stick to. Its great being able to snack on salad and things all day long which sureslim doesnt allow you to do.

Hi Sumo,

I tried sureslim and hated it . I was in tears by the second day with the detox as the food you are allowed to eat is EXTREMELY LIMITED. You probably know that you have to have a blood test at first and they say this determines the foods you are allowed to consume. Breakfast you could have a yoghurt & piece of fruit (within reason) NO MORNING TEA as you had to wait 5 hours between meals lunch was either a salad or the only bread you could eat was mountain bread which was nice anyway, Then you had to wait another 5 hours until you consumed your dinner consisting of protein 150g salad or a very restrictive list of veges. Plus you had to have a variety of seeds eg. sesame, linseed ,pinenuts and pumpkin seeds as well as a spoonful of oil per day. IT WAS HORRIBLE !!!!!! I lost 7.9kg in the first week and could not keep going, It cost me $700 but I didn't care. It felt like Ethiopins got more to eat.

yeah i did it to and lost 15kgs but like most i put it all back on plus more i put on 10kg extra. i hated the seeds and stuff they were yuk. if people don't like the simply fibre then i don't recommend the stuff they say you should eat.

My ex Mother-inlaw went onto that programme.... She said it was the biggest waste of money she ever spent.

[font="Courier New"][color="#9932CC"]I did sureslim, but honestly, it was just too restrictive - way more restrictive than TF and way more of a pain to stick to. You have to measure everything to the gram - vegetables included - which becomes too cumbersome and I just couldn't live like that. Although I did lose 7kg in 3 weeks, it really wasn't worth it at all, especially for the money.[/color][/font]

[font="Courier New"][color="#9932CC"][b]Edit:[/b] Sorry, should have also said that yes, it is a low carb diet. No bread, pasta, grains etc. But you do have to have 4 different kinds of seeds each day and you are allowed cheese. And porridge for some weird reason....[/color][/font]

I started surslim begining of last year it locks u into a $800 plan and as said before only thing it offers is support and that was not often good. I agree that a friend of mine went on it too and we actually signed a clause saying you shouldnt share your "custom" diet with others...we go on lock me up my friend and i shared and there was not ONE thing diffrent

I found it really fiddly and time factor is big for me so the time it took was a challange I lost some weight on it but as soo as i stopped i put it plus 20kg!!!!! back in a year

I am finding grrrrrreat results with TF also pleasnt and not fiddly and def not the same expense as SS I think you made the right call with TF

Hi sumo, I did sure slim too and I lost 22 kilos, BUT, I would not recomend it to any one. The 5 basic rules of sure slim is no potato, pasta, rice, bread and alchol. Although I lost a lot of weight it came back really quickly with some more to boot. I was a little dubious of the diet when a woman I was working with had the exact same diet that I had even though we had different blood types and health conditions. Plus there was a communal recipe book in reception that anyone could take a copy of a recipe that they wanted, well, if everyone is on a specific diet for you analised by you blood work , how come we could all eat the same recipes. Anyway, I'm more than happy with this program, I'm loosing slower than other people becauseI like my glass of wine when I come home from work and I still have my occasional coffee, but , ive lost 11.5 kilos in 10 weeks so I'm on top of the world.

Hang in there

Micky:D

Hi Sumo, I have done sureslim, they set you your own diet after doing blood tests, It is very very expensive ( around $800) and you have to do your own food, the only thing they give you is support.

I did lose weight on this diet, but thought it was a waste of money, the clinic I went to the girls were not very helpfull, it was a basic low carb diet.

Stick with the TF diet, it is easier to follow and a lot less expensive.

Has anyone tried sureslim

Sumo — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 15:49:45 GMT

Just wondering if anyone doing the tfvlcd has tried the sureslim program?

I was going to do either sureslim or this and chose this as its easy to follow and I can do it on my own, but I am very interested in knowing the concept of sureslim, and what foods are eaten with their program.

Is it low carb also? Thanks. Sumo
