If you have tried a few diets and you are wary of the next shiny promise, you are exactly who this review is for. I am going to tell you what The Trimmer Method is, what is inside, what it costs, who I think it suits and where it falls short, using what the program's own pages say rather than hype.

What is The Trimmer Method?

The Trimmer Method is a digital weight-loss program by Tracey Trimmer, sold with the tagline "Secrets to Easy and Permanent Weight Loss". Tracey describes it as "Your Diet-Free Weight Loss Solution For Life", and that phrase tells you most of what you need to know about its approach.

It comes in two versions, one written for men and one written for women. The core ideas are the same, but the examples, the language and the focus are different for each.

Who is Tracey Trimmer?

Tracey is open about where she started. She says she was once clinically obese and that her life "revolved around the next meal". She also says she still loves her food, which is a big part of why her program never asks you to give up the things you enjoy.

Tracey says she lost sixty pounds with this program and has kept it off for years. That is her own story, and it is worth saying clearly that everyone's results are different.

The main ideas behind it

Here is the method in a nutshell, as the program describes it:

• No calorie counting. Tracey believes that restricting calories puts your body into what she calls "panic mode", where it holds on to fat.
• Eat more, not less. Her plan talks about six meals a day, and she wants you to feel full rather than hungry.
• No forbidden foods. This is not a "cheat day" plan. She says you can eat whatever you want, and she means it.
• Carbs are allowed. Bread and potatoes are on the menu. In her words, "bread is actually your FRIEND", and part of the program is working out which carbs suit your own body.
• The psychological side matters. The program takes your appetite and your emotions into account, not only the food on your plate.
• No dieting, no extreme workouts, no supplements. There are no pills, shakes or special foods to buy.

A large part of the sales letter is a section called the 5 "Fat-Making" Lies, where Tracey takes on five common beliefs: that you must eat fewer calories, eat low-fat food, go low-carb, take fat-burning supplements, and eat "diet foods". If those rules have never worked for you, this section alone is worth reading.

What's inside

When you order, you get:

• The Trimmer Method program itself, a digital guide you can read on screen or print. The men's version also includes more than 20 step-by-step weight loss videos.
• Bonus 1: Fasting For Weight Loss & Detox, a 28-page report.
• Bonus 2: Food Addiction: Breaking The Habit, a 28-page report on how to stop emotional eating.
• Bonus 3: Speed Up Your Weight Loss: Sculpt A Physique In Just 20 Minutes, a 47-page ebook about short, moderate workouts.

The bonuses are listed as worth over $85 together. Everything is delivered digitally, so you can start straight after you order. There is nothing to wait for in the post.

Price and guarantee

The Trimmer Method normally lists at $49.95 and is currently offered for $37 as a one-time payment, with no monthly fees on the standard version.

It is covered by what Tracey calls her 60 Day Ironclad Weight Loss Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied, you can get a full refund by emailing The Trimmer Method Support Team within 60 days. That gives you two full months to read it, try it and decide.

What I like about it

• It is kind. So many diets start from the idea that you have failed. Tracey's message is that you were never at fault, and that a lot of popular diet advice works against you.
• It fits real life. Because no food is banned, you are not "on" or "off" a diet. Birthdays, holidays and busy weeks do not have to derail you.
• The emotional eating bonus. Plenty of people know what to eat but still find themselves at the fridge at 10pm. The Food Addiction report tackles why that happens.
• One payment. No memberships, no weigh-in centres, no meal deliveries to keep paying for.

Where it falls short

No program suits everyone, so here are the honest limitations:

• It is a digital program. If you want a person to check in with you every week, this is a guide you follow yourself.
• The sales letter is very enthusiastic. Tracey writes with a lot of energy and capital letters. Read it for the ideas, and judge the program on whether those ideas make sense to you.
• It challenges popular advice. If you are happy on a low-carb or calorie-counting plan that works for you, this program will ask you to think differently.
• Results vary. How much weight anyone loses depends on the person. If you have a medical condition or take medication, talk to your doctor before you change the way you eat.

The verdict

If you love food, you are tired of diets that leave you hungry, and you suspect the usual rules have been working against you, The Trimmer Method is worth a look. It is low-cost, it is a one-time payment, and the 60-day guarantee means you can try it without much risk.
