***Update 2022***
Completed a 30 day program in the Fall of 2021 and going to do one more before the summer. The support system is still there but through email, you now get more calories than you did several years ago and there's more food options which is great. Best new change is that now you can do cream instead of injections! And you still feel satisfied all day long. I find this program a good kickstart when your weight loss efforts are not giving you any results and you're feeling like giving up. :)
*************************************************************************
I'm just about to finish the 23 day program and I have nothing but good things to say. I was struggling to lose weight and I tried a few diets but couldn't get past a hurdle. I would eventually get frustrated and go back to old eating habits, ruin everything I worked so hard for and gain the weight back. Now, I finally got past that stubborn hurdle and I feel great! I lost 14 lbs in 21 days and have way more ambition to keep going. They've put me on a maintenance plan where I can eat way more food and have many more choices but will still slowly lose a bit more which I'm excited about. I don't have to pay anything further for maintenance and they still provide support if you need it. They said I could call or text anytime.
For sure, this diet might not be for everyone. Be prepared to inject yourself every day. It's not as bad as you would think and I'm a person who's petrified of needles. You do get used to it. Then you'll go through a detox. As I had developed some bad eating habits, my detox was gross. There was about three days where I wanted to die. But once it was over, I felt better than I had in years. I finally started sleeping properly again and my mood very much improved. The 500 calorie restricted diet is hard. I won't lie about that. I'm sick of certain veggies right now but the good part is I get more variety in a couple days. I will say that I didn't really crave anything though. I actually made my son a chocolate cake for his birthday and watched everyone else eat it. I just drank a Zevia pop to have something sweet with them but really wasn't bothered by it at all. Now that's a bonus!
I printed this saying from Pinterest for a reminder and it said "Dieting is hard. Being fat is hard. Pick your hard." I picked my hard and stuck to the Slim Well plan and don't regret it. If you're like me and just need a good initial boost, give them a try. The staff is friendly, honest and knowledgeable and you have access to their support daily.
And for me, my cravings are gone, I've moved past a stubborn hurdle and I'm out biking and running around with my kids again. Thanks guys!
