Boca Raton, Florida - Smart for Life™ Weight Management Centers with 34 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada has received the prestigious Consumers’ Choice Award for outstanding achievements and standards of excellence in consumer satisfaction.

The winner of the Consumers’ Choice Award is unique in North America, as the winners are determined by consumers and not by a panel of judges. It covers a broad range of categories of interest to the public and to the business community. The purpose of the award is to publicly identify those establishments which have been voted by consumers as being their choice for excellence.

The award considers the elements of quality, service, value and appearance. For recipients the award not only constitutes the crowning achievement of their efforts, but more importantly, it also represents the most valuable reward of all, the knowledge that they have earned the trust and loyalty of consumers.

The popular Smart for Life™ Program, that includes medical supervision, and one-on-one counseling, also features their proprietary cookie, which contains both all natural and organic ingredients, and keeps the client hunger-free and satisfied all day. Also, the cookie helps clients develop smarter eating habits by teaching them to eat smaller meals more frequently during the day. Along with eating their 6 cookies, and drinking 8 glasses of non-caloric beverages during the day, the client will have a substantial, healthy, high protein, low-fat dinner in the evening. This combination of foods and professional supervision enables the Smart for Life™ client to safely and quickly lose 12 to 15 pounds every month.

“In business, there is no greater compliment than earning the trust and loyalty of your clients and the respect and admiration of your peers. I congratulate everyone for receiving the prestigious Consumers’ Choice Award” said The Rt. Honorable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, at the Toronto Gala 2006.

This year's gala awards presentation event will take place on Monday, April 30, 2007 at the Cabaret of the Montreal Casino in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
