Genetix Program
Posted: 03-01-07 19:36pm

Hi,

My friend is on this Doctor-guided weight loss program called the genetix program.

She's only been on it for like 4 months and looks unbelievably thin. And she used to be alot bigger than me (not telling you what i weigh but it's ALOT) . Now she's literally 1/2 my size.

I already asked, and she's not taking any pills or doing any surgeries..

My question is .............Is that safe, to lose that much weight that fast???

I mean she said that they guarantee that you will never gain the weight back.....But is that possible?

It doesn't seem safe to me for someone that big to get THAT thin ...THAT fast.

It Can Be Safe...

I don't know about the program,

but YES, losing a lot of weight in a short period of time can be absolutely healthy for you, I mean, as long as you are checking with your doctor. It can be very effective regarding your self esteem.

You said it's "doctor-guided" though???

do they have a website or ad posted?

I don't understand what difference a doctor would make with weight loss. I've been to the doctors a thousand times and he's never given me any useful advice on how to lose weight or anything.

I'm not saying that it doesnt work, i'd just like to know what they do and how it works. I'm interested

People!

Be very careful on the genetix progam..I had a HORRIBLE Genex program doctor (if he even was a doctor which I'm not convinced!) that worked with me and said horrible things...I would NEVER recommend the program to anyone!!!!! He was a nightmare!....a nightmare!......I can't say anything good about him..he didn't listen to me at all.....UGH!......there has to be a knowledgeable nutritionist out there that isn't insulting and listens to clients....
