Slimquick (Slim Quick) Review

Slimquick BottleSlimquick (Slim Quick) is a weight loss diet pill geared specifically toward women (any time a product has the word ’slim’ in it, you can bet that it’s being targeted toward women). My take on Slimquick can be found in the review below. We’ll cover:

  • Slimquick’s ingredients
  • Slimquick’s marketing approach
  • My phone call with Slimquick, and how they didn’t care that I thought my wife was obese and kept mentioning it.

Slimquick’s Ingredient Profile

I’d like to be able to list the entire ingredient profile down for you and go through each one, talking about the weight loss benefits (especially for women remember!) of Slimquick. Unfortunately, their supplement facts aren’t listed anywhere on their website. I gave them a call and the girl started reading them to me from a sheet, but I had a hard time understanding her and cut her off (you can listen to the phone call below if you’d like).

One ingredient that Somnaslim makes sure to note as included is Hoodia — one of my least favorite diet pills. I reviewed Hoodia at length and found that the only research (that’s verifiable) surrounding it drew the conclusion that it would be virtually impossible for a person to ingest enough Hoodia to have the P57 (the active Hoodia appetite-suppressing ingredient) reach the brain and have its supposed effect.

So besides the fact that Slimquick doesn’t show you what’s included, what they do show you as included is a non-player as far as weight loss or appetite suppression are concerned.

Slimquick’s Marketing Approach

Slimquick has one of the nicer looking websites in the diet pill industry, though its actual usability leaves quite a bit to be desired. In their “How it Works” section they talk about how men have an easier time losing weight than women due to more lean muscle mass, testosterone, and the fact that they don’t ever deal with pregnancy. Slimquick claims that women now have the “advantage” over men with weight loss (if the woman takes Slimquick mind you…that’s the advantage).

You can purchase Slimquick directly online or at retailers like GNC and Wal-Mart. It’s on the higher side, especially considering it’s an ingredient blackhole for all intents and purposes. I should probably swing by Wal-Mart and write down all of the ingredients, but it really bugs me that Slimquick won’t take the time to publish them on their website. What do they have to hide?

The Slimquick program has four steps:

  1. Take Slimquick
  2. Eat Better
  3. Exercise More
  4. Keep Doing Steps 1-3

I always have to laugh when diet pill companies take this hollistic approach to weight loss. Not because it’s bad, but because the idea behind a diet pill is to see some weight loss (1) without having to do two and three. If you’re already doing two and three great, why do you need Slimquick? You don’t. But the diet pill companies know this, and they know that most people will definitely buy Slimquick and then their job is pretty much done.

In Slimquick’s tools section they show a nice calorie chart, which is a good reference, and they provide some great tips on general healthy eating. All good things (and please buy Slimquick!).

My Phonecall with Slimquick

I actually called Slimquick to see if I could get the ingredient profile, but as I mentioned above, it was hard to hear her, and it would have taken forever to get it all down. The “supervisor” tried to convince me to place an order. I told her I was buying some Slimquick for my obese wife (she really needs it, she’s very obese) and they never batted an eye. I was trying to draw some type of response from them the entire time, just for fun, and they stay focused on the sale. Admirable. I thought a 5′2″ wife weighing over 200 pounds would draw some type of reaction. Apparently Slimquick also thinks quick on its feet.

Slimquick Review Conclusion

I wish I could be more detailed about Slimquick, but I can’t. They won’t allow me to. By not showing their supplement facts online they’re basically saying, “We don’t want to show you what you’re putting your body.” Then I guess I can’t talk about it. The fact that they highlight Hoodia as included just scares me since Hoodia is an absolute waste of capsule space (and money). Their website, while nice in appearance, is lacking when it comes to really helpful content. The phonecall was just for fun. There are other alternatives to Slimquick that won’t leave you wondering what you’re getting — or why the weight still isn’t coming off.

    I want to loose about 10lbs of extra weight. I live an active lifestyle, work out a few times a week and eat fairly well, but I’ve just had a few pesky pounds that I’d like to get rid of. I normally drink 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day.

    I started Slimquick 4 days ago and I haven’t had any problems. I imagine that if you don’t normally consume a lot of caffeine, you might have some problems because it does have a lot of caffeine in it. Enough so that I drank half a cup of coffee in the morning and did not get any headaches all day (normally without coffee, I will have a massive headache by 10am).

    I’ve lost about 3 pounds, most of which I assume to be water weight. I doubt this product would work if you wanted to loose a lot of weight, but for people looking to just “tone up,” I think it’s great. It also seems to be fairly mild, which I like.
