Inches-A-Weigh

This diet plan is broken down into three phases. The first part of the program sets up a consultation with a “lifestyle consultant” who lays out a plan, including behavior modification lessons and motivation to reach goals. This coincides with low-fat, nutritional counseling in a class format. The second and third phases include on-site exercise training and continual support to help women combat the emotional barriers to exercise, since many women in this age bracket have abandoned regular exercise programs.

The Inches-A-Weigh website offers a general description of their three-phase plan but does not give specifics on the diet, their supplements and vitamins or the cost of the entire program. Those interested will have to call or visit one of the two locations to get more detailed information on these aspects of the Inches-A-Weigh program.

On closer investigation, it is apparent that they also have two Ohio locations, but this information is located in the bottom right-hand corner of the website and not obvious. The host of the site, Berstan Web Creations, specializes in realtor, consultant and homeowner association websites, which may not have been this diet company’s best choice.

• It seems this product has not been well received by many consumers, as a number of them are voicing their concerns on consumer blogs and forums. Interested consumers can click here to read more about these issues in this Inches-A-Weigh blog.
• Claims to have thousands of satisfied customers, but there is only one testimonial on website
• Does not give any indication of the cost of the program
• The viewer of the website must call or visit a center for specific information

In the end, we feel Inches-A-Weigh’s website does not provide enough information to show why this program is preferable to many others. It says has a “safe and effective” nutritional program that guarantees gradual weight loss, but does not cite a nutritional source for the foundation of these meals or give any detailed information about their supplements and vitamins. Also, it is problematic that there is no indication of the cost of the program, which is very important in the decision-making process of buying any product or program.

In addition, there is an option to have more information about their “Guaranteed Plan,” but the visitor to the site, must provide their address and phone number to learn more about it and then wait for a call from the center. We believe it would be better if the visitor to the site could call Inches-A-Weigh directly and find out more information about the plan at their convenience.
