Slim Chews

A soft "candy" chew with hoodia and cha de bugre to suppress appetite.


BACKGROUND

Slim Chews are a diet chew that is designed to help you lose weight by suppressing your appetite, boosting your metabolism and increasing your energy. It does all of this through a quickly absorbable candy-like supplement that contains hoodia gordonii and Brazilian Cha de Bugre, two weight loss supplements that have been associated with controlling hunger and burning fat.

Hoodia comes from a South African cactus plant where it has been used to quell hunger for tribesmen who must go without food for days on long treks. Brazilian Cha de Bugre comes from a small Brazilian tree. It is used for medicinal purposes such as fighting viruses and fevers and it is also used for health reasons since it may act as a diuretic and decrease appetite.

You can expect to lose up to 20 pounds in your first month of taking Slim Chews.

PRO
  • Slim Chews are sugar-free
CON
  • Weight loss claims may be exaggerated
  • Pure hoodia is very costly and difficult to obtain
  • Slim Chews are not a long-term solution to weight loss
  • Automatically enrolled in the auto-shipment program after $1 free trial offer
INGREDIENTS

Slim Chews contain hoodia gordonii and Brazilian Cha de Bugre.

ADMINISTRATION

Two Slim Chews are eaten one hour before your biggest meal of the day with 8 ounces of water.

DIET and EXERCISE

There are no specific diet or exercise guidelines that need to be followed while taking Slim Chews. But since the two main ingredients may suppress appetite, you may find yourself eating less while taking this supplement. Since hoodia also suppresses thirst, it is important to drink enough liquids during the day even if you don’t feel thirsty.

CONCLUSION

Slim Chews are weight-loss supplement that come in a candy-chew form rather than a pill or capsule. While they contain two ingredients that may aid in weight loss, nutrition and diet experts will tell you time and time again that successful weight loss comes from a long-term healthy and low-calorie eating plan in addition to a consistent exercise program.

Also, be advised that the “free” trial offer is really not free. Your credit card will automatically be debited each month for full-month’s supply unless you cancel your order immediately.

Even though the product does not claim to induce any side effects, it is important that you speak with your doctor before taking Slim Chews.

I DO SEE A DIFFERENCE IN MY EATING HABITS WHILE TAKING THE PRODUCT. LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, YOU HAVE TO STAY WITH IT LONG TERM.



I WAS ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH A REP. I EMAILED THEM AND HAD QUITE A FEW EMAILS BACK AND FORTH.

Slim Chews is a fraud. My account was also charged twice which caused my account to be overdrawn. Then you can't get anyone on the telephine to rectify the matter, they tell you to my a complaint on their website which I did 3 times so far over the last 2 weeks and haven;t received any response from them. DON'T order anything from this comapny. I also went on Ophar's website and made a complaint to them about the type of company their sponsoring and again haven't received a response from that email either. I question how well Ophar's group investigates the companies she recommends! posted Aug 20th, 2009 9:07 am

I just spoke to someone in customer service who was of zero help explaining that SLim Chew Co. was bought out. He c ould not tell me any phone number to call to tell my complaint. (as of MANY others on line). I just received a 2nd shipment of Slim Chews WITHOUT ordering. My credit card better not still be used...this is fraud. Expect an immediate response. posted Jul 1st, 2009 2:49 pm

This is a scam. They ship you more than the "free trial" period then bill you for any amount you don't send back with 15 days. posted Jun 8th, 2009 12:29 pm

BIG SCAM- READ ALL PREVIOUS POSTS. PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NEVADA CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION FOR FRAUDULENT AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES. COMPANIES LIKE THIS HAVE TO BE STOPPED FROM RIPPING OFF MORE PEOPLE. SHAME ON THEM, IF THEY BELIEVED IN THEIR PRODUCT THEY WOULDN'T NEED TO RELY ON DECEPTION TO SELL IT. posted Jun 2nd, 2009 11:32 am

The policies this company employs to lock customers into automatic charges to their credit card are deceptive. The "fine print" is not dispayed prominently. According to the telephone conversation I had today no refunds will be made for any reason - this is also part of the agreement the customer signs on for. My account was charged before I realized this and the only satisfaction I could receive was to cancel my account and eat my losses - $43.95's worth. Oh yes the 6 bucks for the initial trial period. I do have 60 slim chew. I haven't opened the package yet; not sure I could swallow one now. Why didn't I go to Weight watchers or another sensible program? #43.95 -only about $1.20 per bite! posted May 4th, 2009 4:23 pm

Agreed. The candy tasted pretty good. But does nothing for my weight loss and it is a complete rip off. Do NOT waste your money on the trial and the hassle to cancel the future orders.

when I called customer service to find out how to return remaining slim chews and to cancel any future orders/charges. Two people gave me a email address, . I received a failure notice, email address no longer accepts mail. I had a feeling that would happen. When I called again, I asked for the mailing address. Two people would not provide it and took my name, address, etc. and advise they would get back to me. When I called the fourth time I finally obtain an address to return the slim chews. Slim chew 355 Byrd Ave, Neenah, WI 54956
I will send the package. In the meantime I will close my account. posted Apr 19th, 2009 6:54 am

This company is a scam. The free trial starts the day you order online, not the day you receive it. The next months supply is included in the package you receive, hence you pay the $ 4.95 plus you get charged $49.95 for next months. Yes, slim chews taste as good as starburst, but they don't work at all. I tried them for a month and didn't lose weight. The people working the customer service are idiots and don't know what they're doing. It was a big hassle to try to cancel so that I won't keep getting charged $49.95 a month. Slim Chews is a SCAM and you're better off buying starburst candy than paying $49.95 for something that doesn't work. At least it does the same effects---NOTHING.... posted Apr 5th, 2009 1:01 am

What a complete joke. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IT IS A SCAM. READ ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS. i purchased this for my mother thinking nothing of it to do her a favor because she doesnt know how to use the internet. Paid the 5.95 for this first package, then after 15days they sent a bill for 43.95 and now just got billed for another 49.99. Over 100 bucks for a scam that I, an MBA graduate, fell for. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SOO DISSATISFIED FOR A COMPANY WHO PROVIDES UNETHICAL AND DISHONEST BUSINESS... What a complete Joke! posted Mar 31st, 2009 11:34 am
