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.
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.
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.
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.
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"
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.
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?
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.
