Editor's Verdict

DietDirect is a premier supplier and retailer of diet products and pre-prepared diet plans. DietDirect distributes and manufactures a diet plan, WonderSlim, which claims to provide rapid and sustained weight loss through a 'very low calorie' diet plan. These plans are not a new phenomenon, building on similar conceptual ideas as well known brands such as SlimFast, for example. WonderSlim, as with a range of other similar brands such as Medifast, or LighterLife for example, relies on the substitution of regular meals for a range of pre-prepared snacks, shakes, drinks and bars, which act to control the precise calorie intake of the dieter to a specific amount. Dieters who are engaged in the WonderSlim plan consume around 1200 calories per day. By consuming so few calories in a day dieters induce a mild state of ketosis in their bodies, prompting the burning of excess fat and prompting substantial, rapid weight loss. Whilst there has been some doubt over the true efficacy of extremely low calorie diets, administered through pre-prepared products, a number of studies have shown that they are successful in encouraging rapid weight loss, and that this weight loss can be maintained if the dieter is encouraged to exercise and taught new 'food habits' before the pre-prepared food is withdrawn.

The WonderSlim diet is extremely similar to another popular low-fat, low-carbohydrate, calorie restricted diet program on the market - Medifast. Users are expected to lose between 15 and 20lbs a day, by following a 5-1-1 plan, incorporating 5 portions of pre-prepared WonderSlim meal replacement shakes or drinks, 1 WonderSlim snack item and 1 evening meal, following strict calorie and balance guidelines. While the basic idea surrounding WonderSlim is certainly not all that different from other reduced calorie diet plans, such as Medifast, we think one of the most substantial failings of WonderSlim is its failure to offer advice and support to dieters as they are engaged on the diet plan. Users of WonderSlim would benefit greatly from a user site that would allow them to engage with other WonderSlim users to compare their experiences and share tips and stories. This community element is a strength of a number of other diet plans, and we would have liked to see it here. Similarly, when users stop using the WonderSlim products and return to regular eating, there doesn't seem to be any kind of support available (such as the Maintenance Program that exists on Medifast, or the counseling service that works alongside LighterLife) to stop dieters simply gaining weight again as they return to regular eating.

DietDirect also distribute a wide range of supplementary products alongside its WonderSlim range. Customers can choose from a range of health supplements designed specifically for joint health, cholesterol control, diabetes support and much more. Users can also find a wide variety of vitamin, mineral and herb supplements at discount prices and can choose from top-quality multivitamins, vitamin supplements, mineral supplements and herbs. A range of natural diet pills and diet patches are also available. These include herbal ingredients that can enhance the metabolism for fat burning and suppress the appetite, making weight loss easier. Whilst all of these products are available freely on DietDirect, users should be cautious when combining the WonderSlim diet plan with other appetite suppressant products and supplements.

Whilst on the surface there would appear to be little difference between WonderSlim and other very low calorie diets, such as LighterLife and Medifast, we would suggest that, as these diets can be dangerous, dieters should join a program that combines proven results with support services (either online or through a group meeting) in order to ensure that customers are going to have a successful and safe weight loss experience.
