Does what it says but be careful

By Paul , Bournemouth, England

I joined after watching the video presentation and was impressed. so paid the £37 lifetime fee. Then as you navigate your way to Checkout you are bombarded with multiple other offers and products, all of which I declined.

If you're smart and don't fall into the "special offer" nonsense, then this site is great. It shows me all my meals for the week and I like that the recipes ideas are great too.

I have nothing bad to say about it, for me it does exactly what I want and that's meals planned within calories and snacks taken care of too.

If you did get sucked in with the nonsense "Special Offers" then you only have yourself to blame. You have to click yes to buy and you did, so it was your choice. I chose not to and to be honest didn't even pay attention to what they were trying to sell me, as I had bought what I wanted anyway.

Bottom line, for 37 Quid for life it does me fine.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Think I've been had.

By Jan Carpenter, Hertford, UK, Verified Reviewer

Sat thru the presentation, decided to buy the basic package online. Screen then offered me a further package which I did not want, but screen would not allow me "no thanks". So I was billed for the second item. Contacted customer services to ask for an adjustment. I was away from home for 2 days, on my return, they had replied telling me a "ticket" had been opened for me and the next day followed up with "ticket closed, no money refunded". My goods have not yet arrived, but reading others' experiences, looks like the money back guarantee is a fairy story too. First time I've fallen for this - should've read reviews first.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not a scam

By Marggie , Flatwoods, KY

I paid a one time fee of $47. This includes the ability to create individualized menus, recipes, health and nutrition articles, exercise advice, and online support groups. You do not have to accept the up-sale emails. I kept that aspect of my email just in case there were products I was interested in. On this plan you eat real food that you like. It is designed to keep your blood sugar level so you are not hungry all the time. It has helped me. I recommend it for people who need to lose weight and those that need to control blood sugar.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lovely Plan

By Madeline Frances , Durango, Colorado

I signed up to the Trim Down Club plan 8 months ago, and I am proud to say that this organization is nothing but fabulous. I've lost 22 pounds, and I have been maintaining my weight for the last two months with their Menu Planner it helps me out, especially because of my diet restrictions.

When I first started in November I knew I found something special, so I went to my doctor to make sure this program matched up with my dietary needs. He approved it.

After 6 months I reached my goal. The support was always there from the forums to the dietician online.

I'm happy I found this club. I look forward to many more months of eating healthy and feeling better!

I recommend this program to everyone looking to change their lives for the better.

Trim Down Club Does Not Honor Its Guarantees

By Christine Runstedtler , Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

I found the formats of the Trim Down Club's information very confusing to access and follow. As well, there was little new information included. Nor was the advice tailored to the individual: as a 73-year-old woman, I was sent information on losing "belly fat" as I went through menopause. I enrolled on July 5, 2015; and sent my first request for a full refund on July 16, 2015. There was no response to that request or to the one made on September 23, 2015. As of today, Nov. 15, I am still trying to get Trim Down Club to honor its refund guarantee.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Christine, this is Adam Feldman, Director of Client Relations at the Trim Down Club. I am most grateful for your constructive review of our program. It’s because of people like you sharing their observations that allow us to improve. With that said, I checked our system and was happy to see that you were fully refunded. Although we have an extraordinary community of over 1 million members, we are far from perfect. That is what makes your review vital to me and everyone here at the Trim Down Club.

Thanks to the help of our members, we’ve successfully built a program that takes your specific dietary needs into consideration in order to provide you with a weekly menu that is based on your favorite foods. Losing weight can be a daunting task, but with a positive attitude, a helping hand, and the right tools, I have had the opportunity to see many people accomplish their weight loss goals.

Christine, if you need anything else whatsoever, I would be happy to help. Simply, write to my personal email adam.feldman@trimdownclub.com and I will get back to you ASAP!

Sincerely,

Adam Feldman

Director of Client Relations,

Trim Down Club

Has all you need to be on your way.

By Karin Lane , Creston, Iowa

Hi everyone, I got drawn to the Trim Down Club by their ad and got immediately curious about their diet.

I've already read a lot about dieting since at some point in my live I understood that its so important what we put into our body. Our body is building on these things that we put into it (you are what you eat, that sort of thing) and I think their approach is one of the best to that I have seen.

Basically it's about taking steps back from over processed foods to more natural foods. I could not agree more. There are a lot of good tools available and especially in the forum I also got help whenever I had a question.

So far I'm on my way and it's a good path.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

after 4 weeks

By Betty Brown , Texas

I have enjoyed the news about blood sugar control, not new to an R.N. The main problem that disappoints me after 4 weeks is that each article I listen to ends up with the sales pitch to buy some bottle of pills or a product, This I find totally not appropriate and I feel I have paid my $47, for nothing but a bunch of advertising, that my time is wasted and my money. I am being taken advantage of and this is only a forum for advertising.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not such a great deal

By Rosie , Scotland

Tried this for a couple weeks and put on six pounds! Far too much food and quite expensive. I don't eat dairy foods but not because I am lactose intolerant but because I don't like the taste so the dairy free diet was of no use to me at all. I spent my money foolishly and don't hold out much hope for a return so think it through carefully and be prepared to be continually asked to buy more "easy to use" diets.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Planning made easy

By Ariel Blaw ,

The menus are fabulous, including foods I like. The weight has been coming off and it is staying off this time. I've finally found my ideal plan, not a quick fix! I chose the foods I like and get weekly menus + shopping list. Cool.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don't join unless you have loads of time to read all the presentations and more money to buy at the end.

By Lynne Forshaw, UK, Verified Reviewer

I wish I had read your reviews last year when I joined. I tried to cancel within a couple of weeks of joining as I couldn't stand the constant bombardment of emails asking you to watch right to the end only to find another opportunity to get more money out of you.

When I emailed for a refund, I was told by Justin Anderson, the director of customer affairs, that I would have to call accounts via phone and this couldn't be done by email. As I live in UK and don't have a landline, this was impossible for me to do.

As it is, I have not accessed or used Trim Down Club and would advise anyone considering joining not to part with their money. They only want more and the 100% money back guarantee means nothing.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I'm all at sea

By Doreen Walters, Somerset, UK, Verified Reviewer

I recently joined Trim Down Club but don't really understand it. It is not clear when they give you a menu if you choose just one item or all of them. I am quite confused. Also, if I do want to ask for a refund where do I go? There seems to be no way of contacting them. This should be made easier to do.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Doreen,

My name is Isabella Gibson, the Director of Community Affairs at the Trim Down Club. I am sorry that you didn’t find what you were looking for. We strive hard to ensure that all our members get the support they deserve in order to reach their weight loss goals.

With this in mind, I see that you were in successful contact with our support team on several occasions over the past few weeks. This included correspondences on how to use the Menu Planner and details regarding your receipt of a full refund.

Having researched the events above, I am confused by your review. With that said, living a healthier lifestyle is no walk in the park. And, I wish you the best in health and success going forward regardless if it is with the Trim Down Club or not.

Yours truly,

Isabella Gibson

Director of Community Affairs,

Trim Down Club
