What is SureSlim?
SureSlim is a clinical rapid weight loss program, based on nutrition, metabolic processes, and hormone regulation. SureSlim corrects your metabolism so you lose weight rapidly, safely and permanently. Sureslim is an easy weight loss plan that gets your metabolism working for you.
How does SureSlim work?
The SureSlim weight loss program follows these steps...
1. You begin with a blood test at a professional pathology laboratory. (included in price)
2. A Canadian medical doctor screens your blood test results.
3. Results from your blood test are passed to SureSlim's program development staff.
4. You receive a weight loss program specifically designed for your goals and your lifestyle,
based on your metabolic profile.
Is it safe?
Absolutely. SureSlim is not a fad diet or a cult-like program.
No pills, injections or hypnosis sessions.
No shakes or expensive pre-packaged food.
No calculating calories or guesswork.
No starving, excessive exercise, yo-yo effect.
SureSlim is nutritional science that really works. You'll enjoy healthy nutrients and a customized program that accommodates your activity level and medical history. The blood test also alerts us to any pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes or high cholesterol.
Does SureSlim create a unique eating plan for everyone?
You receive a personalized eating plan based on your blood test results, food preferences, and weight-loss goals. The plan SureSlim develops for you is specific to your body's nutritional requirements, and supervised by a doctor.
Do I have to buy pre-packaged food?
No. Our meal planning is based on fresh nutritious foods available at your local grocery store. SureSlim involves no expensive, pre-packaged, diet meals.
Is SureSlim supplement-based?
No. There are no expensive herbal or artificial supplements involved in the SureSlim program. You will lose weight naturally.
Will I gain it back once I've lost the weight?
No. SureSlim's Lifestyle maintenance program provides you with all the knowledge and guidelines to keep the weight off for life.
Do I have to go to meetings?
Yes. The eating plan is only one component of the program. Your weight loss consultant is a key factor in your success. Your consultant...
- Acts as your own personal weight loss and wellness coach until you reach your weight
loss goal.
- Offers encouragement and advice.
- Monitors your weight loss progress.
Once you reach your goal weight, your SureSlim consultant will introduce the Lifestyle Program that will ensure you maintain your healthy weight loss forever.
How fast will I see results?
Most of our clients see a weight loss of 5 to 10 lbs, or more in the first week.
By satisfying the nutritional needs that are unique to your body, you'll be eating better and healthier. This will reduce cravings for "empty calories" and non-nutritious foods.
Why does SureSlim work?
Your body produces various hormones to turn food into energy. By getting a snapshot of your unique metabolism from the blood test, SureSlim tailors an eating plan to stimulate and balance these hormones, including HGH (burns fat, strengthens bones, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure), and Serotonin (reduces hunger cravings and stimulates alertness).
Why do I need a blood test?
1. To determine that you do not have a medical condition(for example diabetes, high
cholesterol, gout or other ailments) that may be affected by the intake of certain foods.
2. To determine that there is no other pre-existing condition, such as thyroid malfunction,
that may prevent weight loss or that may contribute to a weight problem.
3. The blood tests provide an evaluation of your glucose metabolism, which enables us to
prepare the correct eating plan for you to speed up your metabolism.
What happens if my blood test is abnormal?
If SureSlim finds anything of concern in your test results, we will recommend you discuss these with your physician immediately. Our doctor is available to speak to your doctor about any issues arising from your blood test.

Your SureSlim plan is unique to you, and is tailored to your goals and your lifestyle. So whether you're vegetarian, an athlete, pregnant, or kosher, your plan is always a reflection of your nutritional needs and choices. View our specialty programs
Can I follow someone else's eating plan?
No. This could be dangerous. Here are some of the reasons...
- You may not be getting critical nutrients your body needs in the amounts needed.
- You may be unaware of a medical condition that could be complicated by an eating plan
customized for someone else.
- It won't help you lose weight.
- Someone else's plan may contain elements already abundant in your own metabolism,
actually causing you to increase your weight.
Are there any negative side effects?
No. You may experience fatigue or headaches in the first few days due to natural detoxification.
If you're a particularly active sportsperson notify your SureSlim consultant and your eating plan may be adjusted to suit your activity level.
Your SureSlim consultant will ask you about any potentially dangerous conditions that might affect dramatic weight loss, such as severe kidney problems or a recent heart condition. Clients with severely impaired health issues should always follow the SureSlim eating plan under supervision of their doctor.

SureSlim meals are nutritious, satisfying and indulgently good. It's all about losing weight with fresh, nutrient-rich foods from your grocery store prepared in creative ways. Easy Recipes
