Shapely Secrets Greer Childers |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
It appears that every which way you turn, there is a new weight loss program, product or supplement on the market. Shapely Secrets is a new at-home fitness and nutrition program that is meant to generate fat reduction and teach users how to keep off the weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. This program is said to be developed by Greer Childers, who is fairly well known in the diet industry.
This program has an accessible website. It appears to be fairly comprehensive and posts success stories, a program description and even a biography of the creator. We will take a closer look at the program as a whole to determine if its methods are likely to lead to weight loss, as advertised.

| Pros |
• Product website posted
• Testimonials displayed
|
| Cons |
• Rather low-functioning website
• No cited research online at this time
• Program does not promote an effective herbal supplement
• No money-back guarantee
• Does not promote an appetite suppressant
|
| Concept |
This weight loss program consists of at-home workouts taught on VHS or DVD. There is also a pamphlet that details the “7 Secrets to being Thin & Shapely”, along with a success kit, which includes a measuring tape, a timer, a reminder bookmark, “My Success Book” and a chart to measure progress.
Unfortunately, the website is rather vague on the exact techniques used in this program to generate results. The site explains what comes in an order, but does not give insight into how the 7 “secrets” may create an effective weight loss program. Furthermore, the website fails to display cited research at time of review to ensure that the program has been tested for safety and effectiveness.
The website claims that users will drop an entire size in clothes in just 14 days, but again, the site does not display actual support or evidence to validate this claim.

| Shapely Secret's Background |
As stated above, this program was created by a woman named Greer Childers, who developed this program after discovering the need to fit in an effective weight loss program into a busy day. Childers is the mother of three who found it difficult to find time for fitness throughout the day. This inspired her to create her own program.
However, this was over 20 years ago, and before Shapely Secrets, Childers marketed a program known as Body Flex. This program has received criticism for its ineffectiveness, and even investigation from the FCC for misleading advertisements.

| Consumer Feedback |
The website posts a number of testimonials from past users of this program. They are varied in length, number and experience, and they are all accompanied by before and after photos. However, the photos are rather blurry and hard to compare.
However, if authentic, these testimonies may give some indication as to how this program may work, and interested individuals may wish to visit the site to read these stories further.

| Conclusion |
Shapely Secrets seems to be mostly marketed at women, but men may also find the program attractive. There is little posted on the website that leads us to believe significant weight loss may be achieved, but dieters who are new to physical fitness may find the videos and guidance valuable. However, we have hesitation recommending this program due to the past controversy over Childers’ last program, but those interested may purchase the entire program for under $50.
Individuals interested in boosting results may prefer to look into herbal supplements for more weight loss support. We suggest a product with the herb, Hoodia, which has been proven to reduce hunger and sugar cravings. Making this ingredient even more desirable is the fact that some reputable manufacturers offer it as a free sample, therefore individuals may experience results firsthand before making a commitment.
