Smart For Life Overview
Smart For Life Cookies were created to help people lose weight using a low calorie, meal replacement approach. With over 40 clinics in North America, Smart for Life is also one of the largest weight management centers in the US.
How does the Smart for Life Cookie Diet work?
The premise of the cookie diet is eating low calorie. You will eat 6 cookies a day and a sensible dinner. Each cookie has a proprietary blend of amino acids, fiber, and vitamins that will offer appetite suppression and reduce hunger cravings throughout the day.
The Smart for Life weight loss program is available in two different formats:
At Home
The"at home" plan is more convenient and less intrusive. You can simply order online and have the products delivered right to your door.
In Clinic
With their "in clinic" medical program, they offer you direct physician care, meaning you have to schedule an appointment with a certified center. During your visit a complete physical is given, appropriate lab tests, blood work, body scan, etc. You're probably asking if your insurance provider would cover this type of visit and the answer is no. We recommended the in clinic program for those who are dangerously obese.
Pros and Cons to Consider
Pros
- Program is easy to follow.
- Cookies are mostly organic
- Cookies do promote weight loss.
- Cookies contain no stimulants or harmful side effects.
- Meal replacement diets are not suitable for long term use.
- Does not promote exercise.
- Diet is very low calorie and should be used under doctor supervision.
Smart For Life Testimonials
Most of the testimonials found online were positive with many boasting loses of 10lbs to 15lbs during the first two weeks. Many of the skeptics were pleased with their first experience and were very willing to purchase again in bulk. But in our research it was evident that this diet is not for everyone. The negative reviews and comments were on price and lack of variety. Some went as far as to call the diet boring. There are also no consumer discounts and products must be purchased from the official website.
