Quick Weight Loss Center

I purchased a membership for A LOT OF MONEY and complied with the program, meeting my goal and then going back on plan when I gained a few pounds. The supplements are EXPENSIVE and I had a lot of life changes — illness, death in the family and wasn’t able to go in. I’ve been to 3 different centers and I experienced the same rudeness, being chastised by staff and NO positive reinforcement for significant weight loss between visits. I am reporting them to the Attorney General’s office for «Bait and Switch» tactics and am probably going to get an attorney. I purchased a «platinum» program and have been repeatedly harassed and told I need to buy «more weeks» — when the original contract that I signed was for life long weight loss services. Please take my advice and do not give them any of your money. Try just eating less and exercising.

I was also ripped off by this place and got sucked in by the «lose 30 lbs for 30 dollars». I have spent so much money here its not funny. I am embarrassed to admit it. I lost a few pounds, but the supplements gave me an allergic reaction with a rash and hives! They are chock full of unhealthy ingredients like soy and fake sweeteners. How is this healthy? And there is no way you can get your money back. What a shame.

What an awful experience. A friend loved this program so I wanted to check it out
I walked in from the gym in workout clothes. Laurie leaned over the counter and stared me up and down to the point of making me squirm
I actually asked her what she was looking at
She proceeded to tell me I looked fit but she needed to make sure my BMI was high enough
Anyone that knows anything about body mass knows that’s a very invalid measure particularly someone with any muscle
That wasn’t the worst part
She proceeded to read from the flip chart insisting that their supplements were the only ones that worked even though I had my own at home
She then asked me if I had a husband
And «did he know I was here?»
I think what she wanted to know was if I had support in my environment to
Do a diet. Then ask me that!
I then asked her about a typical day and she told me eggs and toast for breakfast
I asked the price and she told me is was $ 599 at 50% off. I said you mean this program is $ 1200
To lose 10 lbs. she said yes
Here was the clincher
I asked her if I could have oil on my salad and she said no
When I said it was too expensive for me and started to leave she said and I quote
” good luck with the oil“
Please get someone in to train your staff how to communicate with customers
I can help with that if you are so inclined !
And what about the 30lbs for $ 30 ad online and no where to lodge a complaint.

I «wish» I had read the reviews on Unilocal before signing up as I have experienced the same thing as these 2 ladies and was suckered into the place by the $ 30 for 30 days ad they run and it is a giant joke!!! in 1 week I’ve spent over $ 1,000.00 and all the staff cares about is getting you to spend more and more money and I think a better ad campaign would be «Millionaires are Welcome as that’s what we really charge! Only the rich need come!!» They conveniently forget to tell you that they want you buy all this packaged foods that cost a fortune! Everything is super overpriced and the staff super rude, extremely unhelpful and the program is next to impossible to follow and mind you I run 2 companies and I consider myself pretty smart and even I can’t figure out the program! One has to go into this place nearly every day in the first phase and they are incredibly RUDE… they don’t offer any encouragement at all and act as if you are doing them a favor and obviously my $ 1K keeps them all employed and they are probably snickering…“there’s another sucker we got…”. I think they should be shutdown as it is total false advertisement and just the worst! Everything these 2 ladies said before me is soon true! It is the hardest weight loss program ever to follow and here my girlfriend signed up for Nutri-​System and she’s spending $ 400 bucks per month and all her food is shipped to her… she doesn’t spend 1 penny more a the grocery store! With this program not only have I spent $ 1K in 1 week… I’ve had to go to Publix nearly every other day to get the ingredients I’m missing oh and let’s not forget they want you eating all raw veggies the first phase! Has anyone ever tried to eat raw broccoli and zucchini… or eat salad without any oil on it? OMG! Worst program I’ve ever been involved in and here I travel for business and they are telling me I need to bring all this packaged food on the plane with me. SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY AND DO NOT… DO NOT GO INTO THIS PLACE! SUPER RUDE PEOPLE AND ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS RACKING UP AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY CAN GET!!!

Can I give less than 1 star???
Anyone could lose weight if you have to live off their disgusting supplements which cost a fortune. And yes, anyone can loss weight when the ONLY THING you are allowed to eat for months is dry chicken or beef and some green vegetables. Would get better result stranded in the jungle living off bugs and plants. Then expected to pay $ 1000 — there is NO $ 7 deal like advertised to take advise from overweight consultants. They should start taking their own advice instead if people’s money.
TOTAL RIP OFF. NO GUARANTEES LIKE ADVERTISED. THEY SHOULD BE SHUT Down !!!
BEWARE!!! Never go to a place where the weight consultants weigh 50 lbs more than their clients.

I wish I had read ALL the reviews rather than the testimonials (one of which was from someone whose opinion I value) before signing up for QWL. The only positive fact was that person received a referral fee.
I am a life-​long dieter having weight the same at age 11 as I did when I got married 16 years later. I have likely lost +/​-​20 lbs enough times to have created a fully-​grown 6’4″ man. I used «Ayds» (product failed after «Aids»), Metrical for Lunch-​Bunch, original Jean Nidetch Weight Watchers (*more about this later), Stillman, Scarsdale, Atkins, Over-​Eaters Anonymous, SlimFast, newer Weight Watchers, Rotation, Suddenly Slim, calorie-​restrictive and the yet-​newer Weight Watchers diets. My most recent bout of dieting was to lose the «Florida 15» — sort of like «Freshman 10». A protein/​fruit shake for breakfast, plain Greek yogurt with fruit for lunch, small protein bar for snack and protein with vegetables and salad for dinner wasn’t working.
Everyone in my community who was successful said it was pricey, but worked. All I had to lose was $ 2,500 (most for supplements bought on discount** with their Platinum plan.) OK, I got sucked in to QWL. I started Thanksgiving week. I survived Thanksgiving, Corporate Holiday Party, Chanukah, pre– and post-​Christmas feeding frenzies, and now New Years Eve. To date, I have lost 7 lbs in 5 weeks, that is depending on what day and at what time I weigh in. You MUST weigh in 3x weekly. My question is, OR WHAT? Does it negate their NO MONEY BACK guarantee?
The diet is a f*cking pain. You cannot commingle proteins (no surf and turf, seafood combinations, no repeating limited items 2-​days in a row, heaven-​forbid eat something not on «Plan» (thought I was going to smack the counselor when she commented tilapia wasn’t on the plan… I asked what the nutritional difference was between it and red snapper or flounder which was… She said, «Tilapia is not a real fish!). Eating out is more than challenging. The «tilapia» was brought up when I mentioned the SADDEST meal I’ve ever order: baked tilapia without bread crumbs or added butter and steamed vegetables. It LOOKED worse than it sounded (very SAD) but it was 8:00 pm and I was hungry. Then, there are the friends who comment on the supplements — makes you feel REAL good about your choice.
When asked why I wasn’t losing weight more quickly, I was told it is likely because I don’t have as much to lose (only 17.8 lbs). They thought I could do this in 8 weeks. I will share the ONLY reason I continue is because of the financial investment. I will not be buying more of their supplements once I am finished with the pre-​paid batch.
*About comparing this diet to other programs, I believe it is a combination of the a lot of diets I been on: original Weight Watchers (2−4−6÷5−3−1 = 2−4−6 oz of protein at bkfst/​lunch/​dinner –5-​fish/​3-​beef/​1-​liver meals plus veg., etc.); the new Paleo (only what you can hunt and gather); throw in some garcinia cambogia and white bean extract (along with a few other appetite suppressants and carb blockers) and substituting «their essential fatty acids» for dietary fat… JUST DON’T COMMENT or you will be chastised.
As I am not losing as quickly as the counselor anticipated, it was suggested that I increase a suppressant, and decrease 1-​startch and 1-​fruit. I think they make this up as they go… Perhaps weighing once per week, at the same time in similar or the same clothing the manner Weight Watchers’ does? Oppps: slap my hand for comparing.
My BIGGEST challenge (aside from socializing and eating out): keeping a food journal. It may make one accountable, but it makes me too connected with food. All I can say: BUYER BE WARE!
