      Resolved
      I signed up for their program after talking to them by phone. I had asked if I could sample their food beforehand but they said no. However, they connected me with a current client who stated the food was very good and she had been very happy with the program. I let them charge my account and received my first box of food. It wasn't really food. It was a bunch of packets of powder which all tasted the same, like cardboard. I called for the coach and told her that I could not eat this "food" and that I was nauseated all the time. I asked to stop the program and get at least some of the money back, but after several phone calls they said they could not give me any kind of refund because I signed the contract which says they have a no refund policy. They would be happy to make a meal plan for me with my own food, which I will have to pay for while not getting any more food from them. They had set an unreasonable amount of weight that they said I needed to lose. It was going to take months before I could achieve that weight with their terrible food. In the meantime I couldn't even eat a piece of fruit on the plan for an undetermined amount of time. This seems like a total scam to me. I could hire a nutritionist for a fraction of the $6200 I have paid them and can't get back.

      My mom and I met with PHD Weight Loss for a weight loss program consultation. The consultation was given simultaneously with my mom's, and the conversation centered around my mom. I had doubts about the program, but they were eager for me to sign up. My mom, in support of me, took out a credit card, which included her amount and my amount. After I left and took the time to process, I realized the program was not for me. I called and left a message four days later, stating I would not follow through with the program, had not opened any products, and requested a callback. On Monday, I called early that morning and was told the manager would call me back, but she did not. My mother had to call, and then the manager called me. In both conversations, she was unwilling to help, and it was not until my mom asked that she reach out to her manager that she agreed to do so.I am willing to pay for the services, consultation, and meals I receive, but they are unwilling to negotiate. We were told it was a no-refund policy and that we could take it up with the credit card company. A weight loss company should want clients who are satisfied with the services. If a client has yet to start the program within four days after the contract was signed, contact with the company was made, and the client is willing to pay for services thus rendered, they should work with their clients.We have begun filing for a dispute for services not rendered with the credit card company. We had hoped that as a small business in a town where people know and care about each other, we could have settled between ourselves. Unfortunately, this is not the case. They are not worried about the impact of word of mouth and their rating with the credit card company.Investigate other option but if you go in for a consultation, especially the ********* location, do NOT sign up immediately. Leave and think about it.
