Trim Down Club Reviews
The Trim Down Club, located at www.TrimDownClub.com, was established by professional, certified nutritionists and dietitians as a place anyone can come to get the necessary tools and information to lose weight and keep it off.
The Trim Down Club will teach you how to eliminate the “bad” stuff from your everyday diet and replace it with the good stuff, whether your goal is to lose weight, gain strength and energy, or just all around feel better.
The program and tools promoted on Trim Down Club are based on proven ways to lose weight, and not on fad diets or by starving yourself. The club is designed for regular people who are just looking for simple tools and support to lose the weight and keep it off.
Similar to BeyondDiet.com, the Trim Down Club does not emphasize calorie counting, but rather puts all the focus on portion control and eating whole fresh foods rather than highly processed foods and refined sugars.
You can begin the Trim Down Club program as soon as you get access to the Quick Guide, though the website says it is important that you take the necessary time to go through all the helpful tools to get the best possible benefits.
According to TrimDownClub.com, the typical results of this diet include seeing weight loss within one month, downsizing clothes within six months, and even help re-starting weight loss within a few weeks of the dreadful plateau that all diets reach.
To join Trim Down Club, you must pay a one time fee of $47 to get the Quick Start Guide, the Trim Down Main Program, the Trim Down Club Cookbook, the Guide to Food Shopping the Proper Way, and all the available online tools.
And since Trim Down Club is a Clickbank product, they offer a 60 Day Refund Policy if you are unhappy with what you receive.
I was thinking about asking for a refund because I was having Login problems. I emailed them and they helped me right away and got me back into the site. I didnt take the refund and I’m still with the club and happy I stayed :)
Hi everyone just like to say I am so enjoying the Community the club provides. Just reading everyone’s comments it’s really helping me stay focused .
I’ve been enjoying this food program and in 6 and 1/2 weeks I have lost 7 kg. I am happy with that and my healthier lifestyle.
Rebecca dito. I love the forums too. I haven't lost as much weight as you have, but I'm as motivated as ever. Thanks for the post :)
I started this diet 3 months ago, I feel so much better since I started to eat healthy foods.
The challenge has always been to get my husband on board. He suffers from diabetes so I know this will help him control his blood sugar.
Slowly but surely I’m convincing him this is the right thing to do. Hopefully he joins me.
You're absolutely right Sarah. I hope he has joined you.
Hi Sarah. Just a few words to your husband. I'm a Type 2 diabetic. I have tried other similar approaches before, with some success. What I really like about Trim Down is that it allows me to incorporate the foods I like, and skip the ones I don't, into a sensible plan. I find that I am not ravenously hungry at odd times of the day. I find myself WANTING to exercise portion control because I actually FEEL FULL throughout the day. Sometimes I do the designated snacking not because I'm famished, but because I know that my fat-burning metabolism works better on eating in 3-hour increments. Finally, even though I've been on metformin for some time, there were days when my blood sugar was over 160 because of poor food choices and poor meal timing. Now I stay under 120. With my blood sugar normalized, I feel better, and feel better about myself. I'm even starting to work out at the gym more, which in itself is of great benefit to Type 2's. I'm losing a pound a week. Tell your husband that eating good nutrition foods in small portions EVERY 3 HOURS is not only critical to success in this program, but is actually what makes it fun and enjoyable. Best of success to your family!
Researched Trim Down Club online....here's a link with interesting info:
http://www.dietspotlight.com/trim-down-club-review/
"Product Features
For the $47 fee, what exactly does Trim Down Club offer the dieter? The listed benefits/tools include a progress meter, personal menu planner, diet journal, menu history and a feeling lucky menu for when you’re bored of the same foods. None of these tools are unique to Trim Down Club. Websites like Sparkpeople and FitDay offer the same tools and many more for FREE. FitDay has more than 6 million users and Sparkpeople more than 15 million users. These sights are amazingly popular and they charge $0 for access to all the sites tools, including mobile apps.
After a little deeper digging, we found the company behind the website and dieters will not be too thrilled with what we found. The B2C Media Solutions company out of Israel is the media company making money on diet tools found free on other sites. From the looks of the site and the information we found about the company, Trim Down Club is nothing more than a brilliantly developed website of online tools and simple diet articles a media company is selling for $47 a member. To make matter worse, when we visited the Contact Us page there was a place for the ClickBank order number. ClickBank is an affiliate sales site partnering Internet marketers with digital products."
hope this helps
Thanks for the information. I had a bad vib about it when they didn't want my name and address before they wanted my card number. Thanks again.
Thank you appricate the info u providrd to me times is hard and we want to eat more healthy and if it could be for free why not.
Thank so much for saving me money on this site, what do they say--------if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Don't see that this info helped me out much. I just signed up the other night and seems legit to me. People say the meanest things... Who knows who's writing these bad reviews.
Thank you so much for the info. I'm tired of the people from over seas getting our money. I was just about to join, so glad i read you coment.
I have a question. On the Trimdown Club they offer you a personal program from a list of foods you like. Is there another program out there that does the same? I find most diests always has foods i do not like, mostly FISH! and some greens.
Hello all, I recently tried out the Trim Down Club and I was/am also a member of the one of the free sites mentioned above. Was just curious to see what the TD-club has to offer...
I got to say, that it's definitely a better structured homepage - which is probably because on the TD-club homepage there are not tons of commercials like on the free sites (thats how they earn their money - as a company you have to make money somehow...obviously).
So, I like to pay a small fee (take in relation - its only a one time payment and if i like it I might spend a lot of time there) and not have commercials on the page and have professional support.
But i guess thats personal opinion. You need to chose what you prefer.
@Jan - in their tool (TD-club) you can chose what you like to eat and it creates a menu with that.
I've been on the program for over 4 months and it's amazing how it's changed since then. I suggest the site because it's clean compared to the other websites out there. No advertisement banners, and easy to the access materials. I feel once I was with the bigger programs I never got answers to any of my questions and I struggled to find direction. For $47 dollars I prefer to pay the small lifetime fee then see advertisements every second and get bombarded twice a day from special offers. Was an easy decision for me. It all depends on what your looking for. What I was looking for, I found.
fitday is not free! its $99 per month
I've used Sparkpeople and it's not a fun experience. They try selling you everything from t shirts to stuff not even related to dieting. I couldn't control the ads they sent me. After being with TDC for many months, I like it a lot better.
There's no such thing as free.
It is free for basic information such as what is offered on Trim Dowm Club.
The bottom line is you don't know the program and how it can help you until you give it a try for at least a month. It's advertised as a healthy life change. I've been following their TDC program for a few weeks and see a difference. It's not a quick diet plan, which is great. I'm tired of those fake diets that come around every year.
I agree Jason - My son and husband and I are all on the program (for the total sum of $47). I love the site and between us we have lost 25kg. Noone is hungry and I'm not nearly as bloated and uncomforatble as I used to be - keep it up Trimdown club!!! Note that all the people who are claiming this as a scam are not those who have tried it! I am in Australia and found the ingredients new - but that's what expanding you rexperience is about!
Hi to all!
Just started two weeks ago! I weighed myself this morning and was ecstatic to see my weight dropped 5 pounds! Yesss! I don’t always eat as much as the menus indicate, but I’ve been eating healthier, no sugar, low carbs and I add healthy snacks between meals.
I've been eating all the foods and am surprised I'm losing. I'm used to the amount of food! I come from a Colombian household.
I’ve been using the tdc tools for two weeks now and altho i haven’t weighed myself to see how much i’ve lost (don’t own a scale) i can see a true difference in my clothing that i have shrunk! Plus, I feel more relaxed than ever and looking forward to continued success on the program.
Your comment "more relaxed than ever" really resonated with me. I probably would not have come up with that phrase on my own, but it actually describes my feelings as well. Best wishes going forward!
I have been on the diet for 20 days and have lost 8 pounds! I cannot understand how I have lost with all the food I am eating. I’m definitely eating more food than I did before starting the plan.
The main thing is that I am eating whole grains and UNPROCESSED Foods. Now I also eat organic produce and dairy products. I have more energy and do not have cravings or feel deprived in any way. This has truly been great for me.
To all readers. I am from Australia and I am two weeks into the program and have lost 1600 gm ( around 3.5 pounds) without actually trying! I am very excited about this (so far)!!
Cheers!
I feel better. Sugar level is controlled. And now I can wear my old clothes. I really don’t understand why ppl are complaining, I guess it worked for me. For the ppl who are disappointed, just stick to it and I’m sure you will see results at the end.
I am worried I will be ripped off for $104.00! I am trying to get a refund, but no one is responding I should have known better I'm praying for a refund as I can not afford to just throw away over a hundred dollars!
thats messed up since theyre offering it for 47 dollars for life right now hang in there hopefully it will at least help you lose weight if anything
Why did you have to pay $104.00????
email the contact on the web site. They will refund. Keep on.
The customer servic have been good to me. Don't worry write them message.
Joined in the post Christmas guilt trip. The marketing was very good and it's interesting to see that it works for some people. Good on them that they have the persistence to make something of the little bit that this diet club offers. After joining I printed off a spiel which was just the sort of diet advice you can find everywhere. Then tried to tailor- make a diet according to something I downloaded - it was impossible to get a proper diet out of it if you live in Britain - many of the foods mentioned are not a normal part of what we can buy in the shops. Had not even heard of some of the food. .Perhaps we call them something else but there's no guidance if that is the case. Had a look into it all in the first week after joining and then gave up. Every now and again I get emails with strange advice. Three months in I'm not even opening them. I've been in the Tesco diet club in the past and found it much more useful than this.
I've been on the Trim club for many months and I'm finding the foods easily and I enjoy them. I live in rural Colombia. If I can find them any one can.
The benefits of the program are great, my blood sugars are doing much better, I have more energy, I finally feel like I can run up the stairs now!
Great to know. Thank ya.
I figured I haven't been scammed in a while, so I clicked the ad with the rotting banana, just curious what they could possibly have to say about bananas lol. I sat through most of the video, the whole time wondering when are they going to get to the part where they want our money? Ah, there it is! (Yes, I was bored). You don't expect they're going to tell you the last 2 foods to NEVER EAT without throwing the sales pitch in there, do you!? I mean, the narrator sounds like a nice lady, and why shouldn't you believe she's a real nutritionist? The internet never lies!!
Every time you see something online telling you they have found a way to lose weight that you've never heard of before, go to google and type in the name of the program with the word "scam" after it. There, I just saved you a ton of money. Now, get off your butt and exercise and stop eating such a ridiculous number of calories every day. Self-control, people! That's all you need!
Did you finish this boring video. Yes, I agree that people need to cut down and eat less; don't forget to exercise. However, before tooting your horn, did you finish seeing it?
I fell for it - and every time I "tune in" to a video - it ends the same way - a sales pitch for a product one of theirs is selling. I feel I was definitely scammed. Any info they "freely" offer is common sense. I want my money back.
I agree, don't post until you've actually TRIED it. I didn't come here to read what you THINK... I need to know what you EXPERIENCES USING this. Thanks for nothing...
I know right I saw the same video and it was filled with so much information.
She says she's a nutritionist throughout the whole video. Way too many times for me
You need to give the program a chance. I found it helpful from the beginning. I travel a lot for work and needed to stop eating fast food. Now i prepare my meals while I'm at home and away. The recipes are good and there's a wide variety. The movie was soooooo long, but the pay off is well worth it,
Advertisement is part of the game in this day and age. I watched the 5 foods video after being directed from a news website and I said why not and gave the club a try.I like the idea and I joined because there is a 60 day money back guarantee. So why not...
I agree
You'll be asking for your money back
Good luck with getting a refund. I had to cancel my card. Bank said 3rd party usually a scam
Really? No bank would say something like that...and you wouldn't have to cancel a card for getting a charge refunded.
Looks like you are making this up. You can just request the money back through your credit card company and will always get it back...
Strange what comments people give sometimes. lol.
Casey is right.
Being a gluten-free eater finding a program that fits my eating preferences is too DIFICULT ! I was introduced to the TDC from my nutrionist. She came across the diet online and found a lot of principles that were similar to her ideals. There’s a lot of new information to absorb which was daunting to say the least but it’s all starting to make sense. Will let you know.
I agree with you about too much information. However, I've been reading up on diets, and she makes sense.
I just became a new mom and thank god for that. I have a new princess in the house. After giving birth to my baby I gained weight. I really wanted to go back to wearing my old jeans. I joined the Trim Down Club in the beginning of January after I realized I wanted to lose the extra weight. I’m feeling really good about my life and full of energy.
Congrats Liz!
You couldn't of said it better. I'm not a new mother now, but have been in your shoes :))
My husband has a weight problem since he was involved in an accident. I heard about the Trim Down Club from a family friend and I made the decision to register my husband. I’m so happy he decided to participate and tackle his weight loss problem. It works.
I joined at the price of 47 dollars and 55 more dollars was taken out of bank account without my permission . What going on
I'd like to know too!
Maybe it just works for certain people.
Yeah it works for the people paid to SAY it works! No one says HOW it works!!! It's all fake reviews trying to make you BELIEVE it works for all situations....accidents, child birth, etc. FAKE FAKE FAKE.
I've already answered your other post mysterious user. The program works. I see people talk about the forum and menu plans being helpful. Read the reviews. It's all in front of your eyes. As I said before, check out their facebook page and community to see exactly how it affects others. You can check both out for free, just like I did. You have some sort of problem with this company. Very strange the way you have no review of them.
Please elaborate. SO your saying any good review on this site is fake? No one can have success on the TDC plan? Well here's my story. Tell me if it sounds fake...
I've been on the TDC plan for 3 months and was lured into it by an advertisement. I was quite scared to join because I've never been on a diet plan. After some contemplating, I finally decided to join. I realized they do offer other packages, which caught me a bit off guard. I accepted their motivation package at an additional 27 bucks and I was ready to get started. I created my profile and quickly started reading what other users of the program have experienced. I was happy to see their head dietitian and nutritionist helping others. I ended up print screening the questions and answers so I would have a head start (it is my first diet program after all).
Then, I went to the purchase the foods listed on my weekly menu plan. I had a bit of a problem locating a few, so I wrote TDC through their contact page. Lucky me! Within a day I an international list of super markets that carry the foods suggested on the TDC plan. That was the only time I had to contact TDC for help regarding the program, and happy I did because they've left a great impression on me. I'm sure many that have contacted them can say the same thing. The speed and personalization of their response was very warming.
To inform everyone, I've lost a total of 10kg. I enjoy tallying my weight and checking my BMI in the progress meter application. Love that they prepare me a weekly menu based on my selections at the begging of the week.
I honestly just feel better. I'm a dietetic that works over 9 hours a day and I never thought I'd be able to control my blood sugar. Now after 3 months, that's exactly what I've done. I always use the forums, like many others.
In conclusion, the program is a great stepping stone to eating healthy, losing weight, and connecting with others.
Yes, the video is long and a bit drawn out but most of it is very accurate and dispels lots of common myths. There is a very well respected doctor in the US who has an amazing website (http://www.mercola.com) and yes, whilst he does also sell products, he isn't in the pockets of the big pharmaceutical companies and huge food manufacturers. I've read things in Dr Mercola's newsletters ages ago which then appear in the mainstream media or on documentaries like Panorama or Despatches, ages later.
I did actually notice he was mentioned as a source for some of the material and the info in the presentation echoed much of what he states. (Incidentally, I only found out about Dr Mercola from a friend who runs a blog dedicated to a healthy lifestyle - I don't have anything to gain from mentioning him. I have been to a nutritionist's presentation at a local health shop and she also mentioned him. He has a huge following in the US and here and, no doubt, worldwide.)
I don't know anything about the Trim Down Club itself or whether it works but I do agree with most, if not all of what was on the presentation. If you're only encouraged, rather than forced, to buy their products, then I'd say it's probably fine and if it promotes fresh and (even better) organic food, then you're likely to be on the right path. Organisations such as Weight Watchers and Tesco's slimming club also encourage you to buy their food products and they're mostly processed food, so I know which one I'd go for, if (and I don't know if they are) Trim Down Club is encouraging you to eat "proper" food.
Much of what the FDA and mainstream health advice ISN'T actually correct and Dr Mercola challenges that with proven science and experts reporting on their area of medicine. Don't forget that the huge companies and pharmaceutical companies are out to make money. So if you're getting addicted to the chemicals they put in your food or if your medicine is only treating you, rather than curing you, that's keeping their shareholders very happy and that's all their interested in. If you think that these companies are kept in line with strict regulations (let's not start talking about horsemeat) and not powerful enough to influence organisations that we trust to regulate them, then you're unfortunately very much mistaken. They're all money-making organisations with shareholders to keep on board and that is their sole goal.... not your health or well-being, as lovely as it would be to think they have OUR interests at heart.
DR. MERCOLA HAS BEEN ON DR OZ SHOW A COUPLE OF TIMES. VERY INTERESTING YOU SHOULD MENTION HIM. THANKS FOR THE LINK TO HIS NEWSLETTER. WILL GO THERE DEFINITELY.
You've made some excellent points. I too follow Dr. Mercola. He just makes sense..
Give more nutritional information and less sale for your organization or list it as an advertisement.
Exactly my thoughts
I sooooo agree
Well they have to advertise or people wont know about them.
I'm on the program and don't feel that they advertise too much. Believe me I know. Have a look at other sites in the business. Unfortunately I learned the hard way.
It seems to me that the site is updated all of the time. I love the articles. Each one has something new and they are easy to read unlike other clubs I’ve been a part of in the past. So far so good ! I have lost 8 pounds in three weeks time and I wake up feeling great. No looking back for me. Just straight ahead. I want to lose another 6 pounds before the summer months. The way it looks I’ll be on the beach and not afraid to show off my body. All in all the Trim Down Team really guides you and to that I will always appreciate.
It is incredible. I cannot login, reset the password, and still cannot log in. To get help I have to pay for technical support. I will say the Trim Dowm Club is not legit. I want my registration fee of $47.00 refunded back to my credit card immediately. I am an honest person and do not make this kind of deals. I really thought this program was legit. How sad!
I feel the same as the above. I have requested a refund of £34.80 as I have not lost any weight at all after six weeks. They state on their presentation that a full refund is available upon request if no weight is lost within a month.You have to enter a code on the contact form, but it does not recognize it, I have tried about a dozen times, entering the lopsided letters and numbers, but to no avail. I feel it is a scam. I am going to report it to my credit card company if I cannot access them very soon.
Recently I have found that informatiion advertisements, health info that we all need at some time, anything that deals with our taking care of ourselves, just in general every day info that comes up in our lives and we think we can find beneficial help on the computer, we are disappointed. If you find an article that just might just be a tad helpful to you and its more than 5 mins. long, scroll to the end before you waste your time, and find out how much this is going to cost you and just where it is truly from, and read the reviews. They are generally the most truthful piece of info we will get. I am tired of the cookies, advertisements, contests, etc. and most importantly it frightens me about all of us becoming so skeptical and questioning others opinions with such negative attitudes that leave us mad. I used to love reading what other people think because we learn from others. But now its different. People go to the computer to get information that can be helpful to them because in these days it may save us some money, it may provide a location where you can be safe in asking for what you need without giving your life history, and most importantly everyone that wants to try these programs without giving their bank card number, because they promise you safety and privacy and security.And they do, just try to get ahold of them for help, but practice up on your squiggly letters and symbols. Its just my opinions with very little help to anyone, but other people think the same thing. I think all of what could be educational to a vast extreme is going to be pushed in the back, and by the time the cookies get out of the way we are no longer interested in what we were looking for in the first place. Remember to look for what they don't tell you, and also to research because like I said the people will most of the time tell you only the truth, and I still believe in the people who try to protect other people from having to go thru their misfortune. Believe them it doesn't cost you anything.
what??? didn't understand any of the above-whats the point
You must be on the staff
This is one of many comments tonight, and don't understand why good reviews always get portrayed as the company posted it?? Agree maybe try the plan.
Then, please go ahead and give a review...
Great job Kim. Congratulations.
How do I ask for a refund. I get no response
I am scared of what these people might do
Good to know. Thanks for the review.
so am i
The tech team is of great help!
