Has anyone tried Slimquick to help loose weight? My girlfriend is useing it and said it has been a great aid. Not causing the weight loss just helping her along. She had asked her doctor and he said that he didn't know if it would work like promised and there was nothing in it that would hurt you, so if it helped to go for it. But I don't want to bother if it's not going to do anything for me. I just need to loose about 15 lbs but finding really difficult and thought if something would give me a little boost that would be great. Since the Slimquick says that it gives energy I thought that it might help with giving up my soda in the morning habit since that is one of my hardest areas to give up (and they are "real" sodas - I've tried diet and they don't do it for me). Thanks for your thoughts!

I tried it about 2 years ago and I actually got sick from it. I tried it one day as directed on the bottle and I felt sick that day. My stomach ached and I just wanted to lay down. I thought it may have been the Slimquick or the food I ate, but after a few days (I didn't want anything in my mouth for a few days) I tried the Slimquick again and felt the same pains so I threw the bottle in the garbage. I guess you could say it worked because I didn't want to eat anything, but I felt so terrible that it wasn't worth it. I hope you have better luck. Everyone's body reacts differently. If you could tolerate it, I bet it curves your appetite and has a stimulant like caffeine in it to help keep you from fatigue. Good luck.

Hi S.,
I've thought about trying Slim Quick but always chicken out. I need to lose around 15 lbs also and for several years have done Weight Watchers. I just got back on Sunday ,and so far I am doing great. It really works, if you do it:) It is so hard to diet but at least with WW, you can eat what you have at home.
I have 4 kids and have done WW after the last 3 kids. I gained at least 60 lbs or more with all 4! After I had my 3rd child, I kept off the weight with WW for 4 years. I have a 2 year old now and honestly havent lost all I want to and that is why Im back on again. The reason I haven't lost it all yet is because I haven't stuck with it.
Hope this helps:)

According to the ingredient list below, there is a ton of Caffeine (575mg).
Then if you look at the risks and side effects, I personally wouldn't risk it. But that is completely your choice.

Nutratherm Thermogenic Complex:
Micronized Green Tea Leaf Extract
Caffeine
Cocoa bean extract
Yerba mate extract
Clary Sage extract
575mg

I tried Slimquick a few years ago & didn't think anything of it, didn't see any difference one way or the other. A few months ago I was looking for something again & that was on special, so I decided to give it another shot. It HELPED ALOT. Money's tight or I would be buying it again. It's not a magic weight loss drug, but I would take it when I first got up in the morning & it gave me just enough energy to be productive before I went to work & with the energy it gave me I found myself drinking more water (which I do like anyways, but find myself turning away from) & less soda. It didn't make me jittery & I just felt more alert & energetic (like I did before I had my second :). good luck, those last 15 are always a pain!

The lady that recently cut my hair said she lost 65 pounds taking only Slim Quick. She told me that she took it to her doctor and he said it is safe. Like anything else though, it's not surprising that some people would be sensitive to it. I bought some. I just hate the flavor. I haven't used it. I might try again.
