Slimforce 7
 

Hi,

I too have been considering buying this product and now am finding my self a little discouraged by everyones post.
The one thing I noticed that is common amongst everyone who has tried it and got no results is, no one has mentioned if they have were drinking the 10-12 glasses of water a day required? which is what they say you have to do in order for the pill to work.
Are the people who are not seeing any results drinking the 10-12 glasses of water a day?

Thanks

chic - Most weight loss advice includes drinking plenty of water. Sometimes drinking 8 or more glasses per day of water alone can help people lose some weight.

I bought the slim force.
I have tried it for three weeks
I have gained 3 1/2 pounds.
I use to have a hard time losing but I was not gaining.
I ordered the 30 day supply but I ended up getting 60.
I feel bloated all the time and uncomfortable.
I weight in every week on Monday. I will weigh in again this Monday but then I think I will quit them.
I am interested to know other people's experience. I take one every morning and nothing else is different but the weight gain.

So like many of you I too ordrered the slimforce7 in hopes that I could lose weight fast without much effort. Now I think about it 1/2 lb in 8hrs, what was I thinking? It really is too good to be true. If a person could really lose a lb or 2 a day, I'm sure the stuff would cost thousands of $$. Like someone said earlier the packaging was a bit suspicious, didn't give a whole lot of info and frankly looked generic or homemade...not very professional! But the stubborn and desperate person that I am went ahead and tried them. I guess I still have some hope even though it doesn't look good. I'm on day three right now and no difference. I do feel a bit more peppy but I did notice that my hand was shaking when I held a piece of paper. We'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted on my progress or not...

Chalk up one more for SlimForce7
 

At 53, my metabolism seems to have up & left me! I was @ 150 & lookin' good for 13 yrs. after losing 50 pounds. Four years later & an ex-boyfriend I allowed to fatten me up, the prospect of doping it all over again is quite daunting. I also follow a work & school schedule. Here;s where SlimForce7 sounded good - I was hoping for a boost to my metabolism & energy to get my butt out there again. I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude about all of this - but I also hope that I'll be able to get the refund IF/WHEN I see no positive results. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this site! :dizzy:

Welp I'm on day 9 and guess what...you guessed it, no miracle weight loss!!! I don't know why I'm still taking them. Maybe I think that if I continue taking them that perhaps I'll lose a little weight. All they're doing is giving us false hopes and setting us up for even further dissapointment. I will say this, I do regular kickboxing about 3-4 times a week and with that I'm able to maintain. I'd lose weight doing this if I would just watch what I'd eat but I LOVE FOOD too much!!! That's why I gave slimforce7 a chance because the ad said I could still eat what I want and it would just burn off the fat. Well I guess I need to start counting calories and fat grams and watch my sugar intake...AWE MAN, this sucks!!! Gotta do what you gotta do to look good!!!

I emailed them asking why they charged my credit card $30 more than the ad said. I got the response that they would answer in 24 hours and they did. They told me it was in Euro Franks and was translated. First disappointment. I took this product for three weeks and gained three 1 /2 pounds. I was not gaining before just not losing.
I emailed them about it and got the response they would answer in 24 hours. No answer. Then I tried another week and emailed them again asking about the return policy. Again I got that response they will answer in 24 hours. and then nothing. Guess Igot ripped off.

Contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. There are protections which credit cards offer in terms of charges made on your card.

I got my slim force 7 . I had to wait for the two weeks and finally I got it , needless to say it was not quick and I paid for the quick way. I have taken it for one week and that is enough . I never lost a pound and now my chest feel very soar like a burning sensation everytime I eat or drink anything. I just sent it back today and I better get my money back.I found no more energy actually I was tired and now I have heartburn . I hope that goes away soon. My next door neighbor said that was all the acid from the pills.

I saw this Slimforce 7 ad on the local newspaper and wondered about it too. There wasn't much true info on their website and I did a search online and saw all of your posts/comments/feedbacks. Thank you all for sharing, it saves me money!! I almost fell into their trap.

So after all, there is no magic in weight loss, only hard works!

At 5'3" and 125lbs and a 26.5" waistline, I do 4-5 times 30 min intense cardios plus some resistance training per week. But whenever I ramp up my exercise intensity I grow more hungry afterwards and I can't overcome my body's scream for food and I can't skip carbs like my favorite steamed rice. So I end up eating around 1600 Kcal or even more a day. It's very difficult to shed off extra 10 lbs and achive my dream goal of a 18% body fat at this stage.

I am having hard time to look like those very slim and bony thin Asian girls, who would weigh like ~105 lbs at my height. That's how this Slimforce 7 thing caught my attention. After reading all your posts, it seems I just have to do what I am doing, only if I can eat less!

Thank you ladies. I was momentairly swept up by the ad hype, but I will not be making a purchase. I work out with a trainer 2 days a week and on my own 2 more and I was hoping for a little boost. Guess I'll just have to keep up the crazy hard work instead.

Can you believe I'm still taking the darn things? I guess it's because I already paid for them and it's way to late to get my money back, so I have all these pills and I figure well maybe one day I'll wake up and be 5 lbs lighter!!! lol. I'm even laughing at myself as I write this because it's been about 2 months and you guessed it again...not a change in weight, but I am getting a little bit more toned up from my kickboxing classes. I'm addicted to the idea of losing a miraculous amount of wait in no time. Someone help me I can't stop taking these evil pills!!!

naivegrl - Maybe you should consider that hydroxycut was pulled off the shelves due to liver damage and slim force 7 shares at least one ingredient with hydroxcut.

Slim Force 7 research
 

I work for a company that does consumer research strictly on a consultant basis.
Recently I was assigned Slim Force 7 and wanted to share my findings with you.
First off, it is usally not a good idea to buy anything in pill form that isn't FDA(Food and Drug Administration) approved. They don't have approval for a reason. So far, Slim Force 7 hasn't even applied for approval(RED FLAG).
All of my attempts to interview ANYONE that works for Slim Force 7 have been met with hostility or I've simply been ignored.
Advertising is a powerful tool. Slim Force 7 has it all with it's testimonial(notice how there is only 1 in the world and it's paid for by the company) and radical claims such as "Lose weight the easy natural way. No will power needed" and "Try the product that is all the rage in Europe." This last one is interesting because I have looked at dozens of European websites and medical journals and there is little to no mention of Slim Force 7 or the 6 fruits and 1 algae. I don't believe Europe even knows this product exists. Slim Force 7 is counting on Americans and Canadians to be ignorant of happenings outside of their own country. And you know how the ad says, no dieting or exercise required? Well in the fine print at the bottom it practically spells out that diet and exercise are essential for weight loss. Contradictions are another red flag.
My team also researched the medical aspect of one of the ingredients in Slim Force 7, Bitter Orange. Also known as Citrus Aurantium, Bitter Orange was once upon a time used as a sedative and tranquilizer. Don't we want to feel healthy and energized?
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE TACHYARRYTHMIA, HYPOTENSION, NARROW-ANGLE GLAUCOMA OR IF YOU ARE PREGNANT!!! In medical research Bitter Orange, especially in these patients, can cause adverse cardiac reactions including cariovascular toxicity and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
I have checked numerous sources that state Bitter Orange has not been medically proven to assist weight loss.

Next, I have found several bad consumer reports on Slim Force 7 including one on ripoffreport dot com (the website won't let me post links yet because I am a new user). Search for Slim Force 7 on there

All of these reports claim that, after being unsatisfied with the product, tried to return it for a refund but the company failed to do so. In their ad they say you can return the product for a FULL refund within 30 days.
Although my company has yet to make an official decision on the company and product, my personal belief is that Slim Force 7 is a scam. Unfortunately, scams like theirs are difficult to shut down and might take a long time to do so.
The truth is, if there is a perfect weightloss pill that is safe, it has not been created yet. Dieting is difficult, so is exercise, but don't forget about your personal safety when looking for weightloss solutions.
For those of you who have a hard time giving up yummy foods(like I do), I recently discovered a TV show on Lifetime called Cook Yourself Thin, that gives you low cal recipes and cooking concepts to help you lose weight. I have been using them for almost two weeks and the food is delicious. I love the lasagna they have on their show. The best part is I am down 2.5 pounds. I don't know if it's because I want it to work so badly or that it actually is the food, but I'm happy so far.

I'm sorry if this post is really long. Even though it is technically against my company's policy to share our findings with the public, I wanted to help you wonderful people protect your wallets, and your health. It is important that we all use caution when purchasing new products that have no good information about it out there other than it's own paid advertising.

I hope this has helped many of you. Even maybe if I only help 1 of you it will help ease my anxiety.

Good Luck and God Bless
Gretchen

Thank You All!
 

I had a lumbar spinal fusion in February, making exercise almost impossible. Even walking is a strain on my lower back at this point. I just found the ad for Slim Force 7 in US Weekly magazine and was about to order it when I decided to research it some before I risked my money. Thank you for this thread.. Sounds like you all saved me alot of frustration and disappointment. I'd be open to suggestions. I try and be as active as possible, but have limited endurance for exercise at this point. I should be able to start PT soon though, YAY!! I'm a horrible eater and a really bad boredom eater.. even though I drink ALOT of water.. Here I was hoping this was "the one". Dang it! Thanks again to everybody's posts.

The fine printe
 

Here is a copy of the fine print, verbatim, misspellings and all:

“Rights reserved 2009 international foundation of healthy living – Important notice: regualr exercise and proper nutrition are essential for achieving your weight-loss goals.

From my research there is no "international" foundation of healthy living"

Thank you guys
 

I too, like Jenny75, have physical disabilities. I sometimes feel like my body is falling apart. I have a pinched nerve in my neck, lumbar back problems and problems in my hips which apparently is all caused by Degenerative Disk Disease, which I have. I use to lift weights with my husband and now I can hardly walk on a treadmill. My doctor and my physical therapist told me that I need to lose weight, if I want to feel better. I saw the Slim Force 7 ad in a new magazine and I thought I would check it out before ordering. Well girls, it looks like it is too good too be true. I guess the miracle weight loss pill really doesn't exist. When I was lifting weights and working out at the gym regularly, the only diet rule was eat right and exercise. It looks like ladies, that I'm just going to have find some way to just suck-it-up and just do it. Unless someone can come up with a magic wand that I can wave and miraculously drop the pounds. Good luck to all of you in losing weight, especially you Jenny75.

I had lumbar surgery in May! I'm through the PT phase and still not able to exercise like I want to. Any suggestions?

ash - You really need to work with your doctor/PT on exercise. Although really most weight loss is through diet as opposed to exercise. How are you doing calorie wise?

On my way to PT
 

I'm awaiting my physical therapy to begin, until then I have been watching what I eat. Limiting fats and sugars and trying to do more fruits, veggies and I started with only water when I became immobile last March. I bought Alli to try and got a bad rash over half my body. I just feel stuck and frustrated.. Best of luck to everyone.. and thank you Wieman351, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my frustration.

Boy I'm glad I found this site
 

I JUST read an article on this lose weight quick pill.... "slim force 7". I thought , to good to be true? As it turns out, yes! I am glad I read ALL of your posts and did NOT order it. Thank you!!

I think anyone who has struggled with their weight will always look for that quick fix but I have realized, it did not take a week to put all this weight on and it surely won't take just a week to get it off.

I started weight watchers a year ago this month (for the 3rd time). At first I wanted to lose weight so that my husband and I could start trying to have a baby.... I am now losing weight to feel good, get healthy and show my EX husband (now), just how hot I am! :D as of this saturdays weigh in I have now lost 51.6 lbs and even though I know that is great.... it just seems like it is taking FOREVER. I have so much more to lose and I am kind of at a stand still so I joined a gym finally. I go 6 days a week now (for the last 3 weeks).... I am just hoping I can keep motivated and keep loosing.

Ok, sorry to just ramble on... but I am glad to have found a site that has others that understand the frustration of dieting.... Have a good night!

Thank Heavens I found you all
 

Hi everyone -

My name is Kelly.

I was considering trying Slim Force 7,:devil: and I found this community. I cannot thank you all enough for saving me from being scammed, and for being here!

Everything DOES happens for a reason, as I am so excited to have found this community that after I read everything you all had posted concerning this issue, I have joined.

For those of you who had the "trial by fire" and ordered the scammy product, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to warn people about it.

I am grateful to you all, and am really excited about making new friends and sharing tips and support. :carrot:

Thanks,
Kelly

P.S.

Hi Strickland - seems like we were both about to pull out our credit cards at the same time, huh?

Talk about dodging a bullet with yet another diet scam.

Whew!

Slim Force... Almost...
 

Hello Everyone...
As I was getting my hair colored I came accross the Slim Force 7 add in a magazine. I tore the page out (I asked if I could :) - and put it in my pocketbook. I now have it on my desk and decided to research this as the add is VAGUE - and low and behold - here are all the posts from very dissatisfied customers - thank you for saving me some $$ - I've been working out long and hard and just can't get the last 10 to budge... but I guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way -... UGH. Thanks again for saving my money and probably my health :hug:

Crap!!!
 

I wish I had found this forum before I went and bought the most expensive treatment for Slim Force 7. The only good thing so far is the shipping. I place my order on 5/27/09 and got it in the mail on 6/1/09 so that was pretty fast. I took my first pill this morning and I weighed myself a little while ago and I've gone up 2lbs. ??? I'm not sure if I want to continue taking the pills if they aren't going to work. I found out about this last week in my TV Guide. The website didn't really tell me much but I believed it. I've tried so many things and the weight just keeps coming back. Not sure what else to do. I was so excited over this and nervous at the same time thinking I'm going to lose all this weight and it will be great for my sisters wedding coming up I wont be the biggest person in the bridal party. Maybe I'll continue for another week or 2 and see if anything happens. If not then all 5 bottles are being shipped back. Has anybody had any luck with these pills?

Buderfly - Have you tried counting calories? There are a lot of people that have used this website for support and weight loss. No one I've known has lost weight and kept it off with any form of diet pills.

I found that it didnot work at all and I sent it back . I am now waiting for a refund and it has been a month . I called and all I got was that It will be in the mail .I went to the Visa where I had put it on and they donot put It back on that . I had insured it with the post office and the tracking number is not working right also . I am getting them to check out where the parcel went . I am thinking maybe the people gave me a wrong address to send it back. If anyone else is having this problem please tell me. thanks

I'm not a calorie counter. I don't eat alot. Small lunch and small dinner with no snacking. My dad eats triple what I eat and he weighs 40lbs lighter than me and never gains a pound. Last year in February I lost 20lbs and kept it off for a year and then this February I got laid off and it all came back on. I dont see how it could - while I was working all I ate for lunch was fast food everyday and while I'm home I eat healthy. I don't get it. But I do have to say I weighed myself this morning and I'm 2lbs lighter from yesterday...

I think calorie counting can be useful just to see where you are at. Also, how much exercise do you get?

Not much - I do wii fit and dwts latin cardio everynight for about 1-2 hours and still nothing.

Thanks, I read about this diet in a magazine today. I was curious and decided to check it out before paying hard earned $$$ for a "miracle" pill. So glad I found your in put !
Blessings!

Thank you for saving me $$$$ on this scam. Someone asked about Weigth Watchers. I joined that in 2003 - their on line group - I did not go to meetings. I exercised daily and followed their program to the letter. I DID lose weight. I went from 158 to 115. It took about 4 months. BUT the minute I went off , I regained the weight. So be aware that this is a lifetime lifestyle and not something you can do and quit. This time around I am having a terrible time following their program. I am tired and always hungry. I am a carb-o-holic and losing those carbs has hit me hard this time. ( getting older has not helped either ). So , yes, WW does work. But you have to stay on their maintenance program religiously to keep it off. Hope this helps.

Slim 7
 

I was just about to order this product as well, however after reading all of the information i have opted not to. However Slim Force 7 did give me an idea.... they do give you the recipe the 6 fruits and algae, I am going to try adding the fruit to ever meal as well as go to my local GNC or any other store that would carry Algae tablets. I will keep you posted on my progress and hope they were on the right track, just my version is healthier....;)

I did buy Slim Force 7, received it in less than 10 days, and started it last Sunday. I have about given up on losing weight but decided on one more try. SF7 does give you a little energy boost, kind of like having an extra 2 cups of coffee in the morning. No other side effects yet. So far I have actually seen the scale drop 3 pound in 4 days. Maybe it's the placebo effect and the pill does nothing, time will tell.

I lost 2lbs actually the first day and maybe 1 more after that...but I stopped taking it - it stopped working and I've gained it back and a few extra pounds with it!!

Omg!!!
 

I am so glad I found this site! I was on the verge of buying this product. I recently got engaged and need to lose weight. I was reading "US weekly" last night and come across a 2 page ad. It seemed a little vague with kind of gave me a bad feeling but I tried to ignore it, the promises seemed so exciting. It totally sucked me in. I even double checked the website this morning before heading out the door. When I got to work I looked it up again..and again the vagueness was bugging me. I googled Slimforce7 and luckily this site came up! I found out not only not to trust this product but also about bitter orange...I would have never known.
Thank you for all the great info. It is only because of people like all of you that I saved myself some money, dissapointment and my health. I couldn't find any other info anywhere...should have been another sign. Again I am so glad I found this website.

Thank you and take care!

It's never going to be easy...
 

Well, I gave it two weeks. The SF7 seemed to work the first few days, than nothing. New it was to good to be true. Has anyone had any luck sending it back for refund?

I'm my mothers primary caregiver and am definitely and emotional eater. Add menopause to that and the weight just hangs on. I know all the rules and have all the diet books, just can't seen to find the right mind set to commit.

Expedited shipping
 

I noticed that this product ships from Canada! Expedited shipping is not an option. Although it is Canada it still has to clear customs in the USA. Your order can and will take up to 4 - 6 weeks. Overnight or 3-5 business days normally cost upwards of $50.00 or more. So unless you are willing to pay the outrageous FedEX or UPS fees (if they even offer it) expect to wait...

Hey everyone i'm new to the site, thank you all very much for the info. I was going to buy this product but **** no, i'm not going to anymore. So thank you!

Hi everyone!
I recently emailed consumerist.com, and I have been googling
this site at work, so I felt compelled to let you know!
Here is a copy of my email, please excuse my poor grammar
as I'm a bit angry
-------------

My name is Jimmy and I work for an inbound call-centre in Toronto, Ontario.
We have several clients that we work for be it real estate companies,
doctors offices,and lawyers' offices.
Our most prominent client is Slimforce7.
We handle all of their phone orders and customer service calls.

I've grown nearly fed up with "working" for Slimforce 7.

This product is advertised as a natural fat burning pill
to be taken once a day at breakfast.
It is advertised that you do not need to change your diet,
nor do you necessarily have to exercise.
The company recently ran strong campaigns through
TVGuide magazine, US Weekly, First Magazine and American Profile.
In about a day's work I probably get at least 25 orders of the product,
after sneaking a look at our report, in June alone they shipped out
about 6240 orders. The most popular product is the Maximum Strength treatment, for $109.

What's the problem?
The problem is our faulty advertising and complete disregard for customers.
Slimforce7 is said to be a natural product however it contains maltodextrin,
which is an additive in the similar vein to MSG.
Also it contains bitter orange (Citrus aurantium)
which has been linked to increasing risk of stroke, and agina.
It's said that all the ingredients are given GRAS status by the FDA,
but I really feel like that's not even true.
On the website it states that the product should not be taken by anyone
who is treated for high blood pressure, diabetes, depression,
thyroid or heart conditions, anyone under 18 or the elderly.
We have no protocol on asking these questions during our phone calls whatsoever,
even though majority of our callers are overweight
with probably blood pressure conditions,
and a large percentage of our callers are in fact seniors.
Most do not have access to the internet, and aren't aware of these conditions,
and unfortunately I'm one of the few order operators who check.

The company offers two methods of shipping,
normal shipping $6.00, and expedited for $11.00.
How long is shipping? ... I'm actually not too sure. None of us are.
It's changed from 1-2 weeks expedited/3-4 weeks normal,
to 4-5 weeks/6-7 weeks. Whatever you feel sounds best.
We have people who call in who have ordered from
February and have yet received the product.
Today a woman called me who only received 7 pills in her bottle
(you're supposed to receive 30).

Our refund process is that you have a full-money back guarantee,
but unfortunately (and we don't say this) this does not include the shipping.
If you look at the amount of people who buy this
(and pretty much everyone goes for the $11.00 shipping),
that's a lot of change going into Slimforce7's pockets.
And a lot of people just don't call back asking for their money.
I'm not sure why, perhaps they feel embarrassed that they've been swindled
once again by a product claiming to give them a great body.
The company takes their sweet time with refunds,
they stretch it out to months upon months of not giving money back.
And the sad part is that we're now sold out of product!

I feel really awful at the end of the night for the people that buy this,
I try my best to persuade them out of it,
either asking them to call their doctor first to ask if it's okay,
to trying to persuade them to try out the low-cost treatment first.
It's come to the point that I just hang up on the call when it comes,
and hope that my next call is for a real estate office.
At the call centre we're getting the crummy end of it,
because we deal with everyone who's irate,
we don't know where the money is going (as our company isn't paid much by Slimforce7),
and we don't know what to say to the customers most of the time.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would spread this to anyone you know.
There are a lot of people out there who do want to lose weight,
but really the best way is to seriously reflect on your diet
and get the right amount of exercise.
Please tell anyone you know who's considering Slimforce7 or has already
purchased the product to reconsider and demand a refund.

Thanks,

Jimmy
