What is the Slim4Life Program?
The Slim4Life program is a balanced approach to weight loss with a 25-year track record of success. We offer comprehensive weight reduction programs, stabilization, and maintenance that are professionally supervised for safe, rapid results and are nutritionally designed to develop proper eating habits for long term success. We offer daily supervision, individual counseling, and behavioral education, all of which contribute to the safety and effectiveness of our program.


How does the Program Work?
At Slim4Life, individuals are put on an easy to follow nutritionally balanced weight loss program based on how much weight they need to lose, age, sex, activity level and medical condition. Your nutritional plan is completely flexible with room for individual choices of food selection. Best of all, the program utilizes regular grocery store food that can be prepared at home or ordered out at most restaurants. Your nutritional food plan is coupled with one-to-one personal counseling which offers you the structure and accountability needed for success and enables you to lose your weight consistently with fewer plateaus. This integrated approachto weight loss provides you with the tools needed to not only lose your weight, but most importantly the healthy habits and behaviors you need to stay thin for a life time.


What kind of foods do I eat?
While losing weight on the Slim4Life program, you will enjoy eating a properly balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, starches, dairy and fats. There are some foods and beverages that are restricted during your weight loss period, but all foods are gradually added back to your diet once you reach your goal weight. Slim4Life also has a vegetarian program for those who do not eat meat.



How fast can I lose my weight?
Your age, sex, medical condition, activity level and degree of obesity will determine the rate at which you lose your weight. Internal studies have shown that healthy clients who follow their personalized nutritional program, lose an average of 3.3 pounds per week. Most medical conditions will not slow down your weight loss. However, if you do have a pre-existing medical condition or take some medication that may slow down your weight loss, our staff will advise you of this at your consultation. Most clients who fall in this category will still see an average weight loss of 2 to 3 pounds per week.


Are there any group meetings?
One of the best features of the Slim4Life program is the personalized individual attention that you receive from our professional counselors. They will guide, support and encourage you throughout the weight loss process while supervising and monitoring your progress, most importantly, your counseling is always done on a one-to-one basis so you get results quickly.


Do I have only one assigned counselor?
The beauty of the Slim4Life program is that each center is staffed with professional and well-trained staff who are all committed to your success! All Slim4Life counselors go through an extensive training program before they see clients. Our counselors have varied professional backgrounds and include Registered Nurses, Registered Dieticians, Certified Nutritionists, Degreed Health Professionals, Cognitive Therapists, Degreed Counselors, Degreed Kinesiologists and Degreed experts in Physical Education. We also have several counselors who have walked a mile in your shoes . . .they were Slim4Life clients first and now want to share their success by helping others achieve their weight loss goal. Many of our counselors travel between centers so that clients get the benefit of this varied expertise. Our professional counselors provide a comprehensive resource pool for you to draw on for your individual needs if required.



Do I need an appointment to see a weight loss counselor?
All of Slim4Life’s clients are seen on a first-come, first-serve basis. No appointment is necessary, you come in at your own convenience when it is a good time for you!


Do I have to eat packaged meals?
The Slim4Life program uses regular grocery store food that you can prepare yourself at home or that can be ordered out at most restaurants. Our focus is on teaching you healthy eating habits and portion control, so we’re not going to make you dependent on expensive pre-packaged meals.


What about my medical condition?
The Slim4Life program takes your health history and current medical condition into consideration when determining your nutritional program. Your health and well-being are our primary concern and we monitor your blood pressure and chart your general wellness as a part of your counseling visit. We also have several Registered Nurses on staff available to work with your personal care provider if necessary. Some medical conditions require the co-management and supervision of your personal physician and we happily arrange that for you. Some common medical conditions we see on a daily basis are high-blood pressure, heart conditions, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis/joint pain, hypo-thyroid, fibromyalgia, MS and cancer survivors. Improving your nutritional regime will help to stabilize your blood sugar, lose weight and improve your overall health.


Do I have to exercise to lose weight?
You will lose weight on the Slim4Life program with or without exercising. Even though exercise is not required to lose weight, increasing your activity level is strongly encouraged as part of a healthy lifestyle. Most clients see an immediate increase in energy when they begin to lose weight and are encouraged to begin adding appropriate levels of activity to their daily regime based on their individual situation. Your physician should always be consulted before beginning an exercise program.
