  3. Do I have to buy pre-packaged foods?

    No. Our meal planning is based on fresh, nutritious foods available at your local supermarket which you prepare yourself.

  4. Is SureSlim supplement based?

    No. There are no drugs, "magic" weight loss pills, meal replacements or wonder shakes.

  5. Will I gain weight back once I've lost it?

    SureSlim's Lifestyle program provides you with all the knowledge and guidelines for you to be able to keep your weight under control for life.

  6. Do I have to go to meetings?

    No. SureSlim provides private, one-on-one consultations with a personal Weight Loss Consultant. SureSlim Weight Loss Consultants offer encouragement, advice and monitor your progress. When you have reached your goal weight, you receive your Lifestyle Program to maintain your weight loss forever.

  7. What if I travel or move away?

    SureSlim also offers remote consultations, should you move, travel or are unable to get to the clinic. You can phone in, or email your progress and send questions to your consultant. Some clients send pictures of their feet on the scale, or want telephone support as they weigh themselves.

  8. I would like to do some gentle exercise. How should I begin?

    Many of us would like to be more active. The best way to begin an exercise program is to start off slowly, and find sports and activities they really enjoy.

    Here are some tips from some of our clients:

    Start walking 15 - 20 mins each day - start off at a stroll,build up speed daily and lengthen the time of your walks. Keep your walks interesting: walk with a buddy, such as your partner, children, neighbour, coworker, friend, or dog. Try to walk in interesting places, and explore your area. Try the beach, local parks, or even around the shopping centre. Invest in some good quality shoes, and have them fitted professionally. Indulge yourself - wear headphones and listen to music that makes you feel energized.

    Go Dancing - Dancing is a great way to introduce exercise, and is great fun! Dance at home, in a local club, or even join a dancing class or group. Try Zumba, a combination of dance and exercise. Get a friend to go with you, and share a laugh while you're active.

    Water Workouts - Exercising in water is a very good way to introduce gentle exercise if you are recovering from an injury, or are unable to bear weight for long periods of time. Take yourself down to the local pool and paddle around.

  9. Is the SureSlim Eating Plan safe for Children to follow?

    Yes. SureSlim is a balanced Eating Plan. We have adapted our Quick Loss Eating Plan specifically for children, but they must be 6 years of age or over.

    Overweight children are a disturbing trend, causing physical and psychological problems. Higher incidences of adult type diabeteswith all its complications are being found increasingly in children of a younger age. Set a good example for the next generation with healthy eating habits and regular exercise.

  10. Any medical reason why I cannot use the Quick Loss Eating Plan?

    Yes, people with severe kidney problems. SureSlim screens your blood tests for kidney disease. Some clients have "borderline" kidney disease, so the Eating Plan is modified to lose the weight a little more slowly, to be safe. Blood tests are repeated at intervals to monitor health and progress.

    Clients are screened for severe heart disorders, as the plan's usual high fluid intakes must be modified, and SureSlim recommends that your physician supervisesyourEating Plan and progress. Excess weight can cause strain to the heart, so weight loss benefits clients with heart disorders immensely.

    Type 1 diabetics can not be on the quickloss program.

  11. How do I know if I fall into the overweight/obese category?

    The following are some of the symptoms of being overweight/obese:

    • Low blood sugar
    • Tiredness
    • Food obsessions
    • Feeling bloated
    • Water retention
    • Always on diet
  12. How much weight do I need to lose?

    To calculate your weight loss goals, we provide various tools to help you. The BMI (Body Mass Index) Chart is a guide, as well as the Body Fat Analyzer.Many factors are taken into consideration when working out your ideal weight. Your age, build and muscle tone can raise or lower this target.

    No one can dictate what ideal weight you should be. Your weight loss goal is your personal decision. If you need help, ask your consultant when setting your weight loss goals.

  13. Is it dangerous to use someone else's Quick Loss Program?

    Definitely. You may be unaware that you have a pre-existing medical condition, therefore following someone else's program could seriously affect your health. If you had to use someone else's SureSlim Eating Plan, you would not get the weight loss results as quickly as the person for whom the program was developed for, and you would not be able to reach your goal weight.

  14. How are my blood tests used?

    You blood tests provide an evaluation of your metabolism so that we can prepare the correct eating plan for you. The blood tests also determine the presence of conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, gout etc. which can be affected by certain foods. Our doctor is also alerted to more serious conditions which may need the client to be referred to their own doctor prior to starting the SureSlim program. (Such as thyroid malfunction or impaired kidneys)

  15. Does the person receiving my test results have any training?

    Yes, all test results are reviewed by Dr. Claude Morin, our resident physician.

  16. How do you customize my foods?

    Each person's program is customized using their blood test results, age, height, sex etc. which is entered into the SureSlim computer program at head office, and it formulates the best foods for you while ensuring your nutritional needs are met.

  17. What else does my blood test reveal?

    We often pick up conditions such as diabetes or high glucose, elevated cholesterol, high uric acid and so on. If these appear, we notify you to contact your family doctor for follow up tests
