When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about Slim in 6 on DietBlogTalk.com

For an additional source, check out Slim in 6 on the very popular Sensational.com

Overview

Slim in 6® is promoted by BeachBody®; the focus of the program is a set of progressively intense workout DVDs. Slim in 6® also includes materials like a diet guide and progress calendar, however there is good reason to believe these are simply incentives rather than quality products. After all, the “bonuses” for this program are similar to those included with most BeachBody® DVDs. This may put the cost of Slim in 6® in some perspective—rather than receiving a weight loss kit (the way it is displayed on the website), customers are purchasing less than 160 minutes worth of workout instruction for over $60! 

The one consolation is that Debbie Siebers, the instructor, has a few decades of experience leading exercise routines and has gone down the path of weight loss herself. Yet one should remember that despite most of the BeachBody® fitness programs being designed by recognizable personalities there are still throngs of dissatisfied BeachBody® customers.

Program at a Glance

Slim in 6® is a set of workout DVDs designed for people trying to burn calories and lose weight in just 6 weeks.

Program in Focus

The Slim in 6® DVDs are comprised of 3 routines: 25 minute “Start It Up,” 48 minute “Ramp It Up,” and 60 minute “Burn It Up.” These workouts are supposed to burn calories, raise the metabolism, and tone the body. The Slim in 6® package also includes a weight loss guide, nutrition plan, calendar, tape measure, and 25 minutes worth of a bonus workout. Slim in 6® comes with a membership to an unspecified, online, weight loss community.

Positives

•    Combines exercise and a modified diet

Negatives

•    More expenses than similar workout series

•    Several complaints against distributor’s customer service practices

•    Does not include a supplementation program

Final Thoughts

Since Slim in 6® is far from the only weight loss program available, you will likely want to look elsewhere for a solution to excess weight. Exercise is only one part of losing weight—you should also plan to eat sensibly and take a quality supplements. Finding a diet aid made with natural ingredients that can boost metabolism and limit cravings—these characteristics make it easier to stay committed to a diet and exercise routine while also seeing faster results on the scale.

How do drinks like diet iced tea or the slenderize versions of Fuze compare to water when watching what you eat? These drinks have 0g of Fat, 0-5 Calories, no sugar, and no high fructose corn syrup. They seem like they would be just fine to drink as long as you drink plenty of water in addition to them. What do you say?

There are so many diets on the market at the moment that it becomes difficult to know which ones to give a go, which diets are easy to follow and which ones actually work. This article aims to give a basic run down of the types of diets that are available at the moment, and how they work.

Meal Replacement Diets

These diets include the likes of Tony Ferguson Weight Loss Program and Kate Morgan Weight Loss Program. These diets work by having a calorie controlled weight loss drink once of twice a day and then supplemented with a balanced diet. These diets have tended to result in significant weight loss in the short term. The problem with these diets is that it can be difficult to maintain. The drinks also don’t work in well with social habits in terms of eating out. Common side effects of these diets are constipation. These diets can definitely work, however make sure you also keep up with your recommend servings of fruit and vegetables.

Detox Diets

There are many detox diets out there on the market and the most common is the Lemon Detox Diet. These detox diets remove saturated fats from your diet, as well as refined sugars, however there is little evidence to show it actually removes ‘toxins’ from the body. These diets are extremely calorie restricted. For instance the Lemon Detox Diet would involve having 6 drinks a day, and nothing else. Each of these drinks only has 100 calories in them, so anyone who sticks to this will lose a substantial amount of weight. The problems is that the fast weight loss throws the body into starvation mode and the bodies metabolic rate slows down significantly. Once the diet is finished, weight will be put back and fat will replace what was once muscle. Dieters should be very careful before embarking on these diets and do so under doctors supervision.

Fad Diets

There are so many fad diets on the market that it is almost impossible to keep count. The cabbage diet or the grapefruit diet are two of these. Most fad diets can be identified by the promise of fast weight loss. The problem with any fad diet is that fast weight loss is almost never sustainable and will invariably lead to weight gain and the yo-yo weight effects that dieters experience from going on to many diets.

Healthy Balanced Diets

These are not the diets that people get excited about, however they have always had the best long term results. These will diets that include at least 5 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit a day, and a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Some good examples of these diets are Australian Lifestyle & Fitness, CSIRO and Low GI Diet. The focus is on moderating calorie intake but still achieving a balanced diet.
