What is the SlimGenics Youth Program?

The SlimGenics Youth Program is a safe, effective and nutritionally balanced weight loss program for youth ages 10 to 17. We have a proven track record of success and professionally supervise your child’s weight loss for safe, rapid results. In addition to losing weight, your child will learn proper eating habits for life-long health. We also provide one-on-one counseling, so they will have privacy, support and encouragement throughout the process.

Is the program safe for my child?

Yes! All of our programs are designed around meals made from real, grocery store food. Your child will not be deprived, but will instead fuel their body with the right kinds of foods. Specific portions from each food group need to be consumed each day and our professionally trained counselors supervise the entire process. Additionally, we will always receive a doctor’s approval if your child has any health condition that may conflict with their weight loss program.

What kinds of foods will my child eat?

Your child will enjoy eating a properly balanced diet that consists of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, eggs, starches, dairy and fats. Our program also accommodates special conditions related to food intolerances or food sensitivities and vegetarian lifestyles. Some foods and beverages are restricted during the weight reduction phase, but all are gradually added back after your child reaches their goal weight. We offer a wide variety of foods to choose from as well as tasty Thermo-snacks so youth clients will not be hungry or bored.

How quickly will my child lose weight?

Youth on the SlimGenics program lose an average of 1½ to 2½ pounds per week.

Will participating in the program alienate my child at school?

Your child will be able to pack normal lunches from home and eat snacks throughout the day. Additionally, to help battle cravings, we provide a wide variety of Thermo-Snacks as delicious alternatives to unhealthy snack food. View our Young Adult Testimonials to see how youth, age 17 and below, have benefited from the program.

What are the benefits of the SlimGenics Youth Program?

Youth who have participated in the program have reported a wide range of benefits. From increased confidence and better health to joining activities and feeling less alienated from their peers, the SlimGenics Youth Program has led to greater happiness and self-esteem. Additionally, teaching children healthy eating habits at a young age sets them up for life-long good choices.

How much does it cost?

At SlimGenics, every program is individualized. Consequently, the exact cost and duration of the program is dependent on your child’s specific needs. Because the cost of the program varies, and because we have different options available, we highly recommend that you come in for a complimentary consultation so that we can evaluate your child’s needs and give you an exact price for the program best suited to them.
