Scratch that! Here's a better idea that what I've been saying so far. I just now found a website for the Silhouette Solution program. It's about taking meals, not pills. This may be what's being referred to. It has 32,400 refs with lots of images of the products, so it seems to be well known.
Muriel Vasconcellos Aug 5, 2010:
Note "Alli Program" This is an over-the-counter weight-loss pill that comes with a recommended diet.
BTW, no other Internet references to "Silueta program" in English (i.e., no phrase found by searching with quotes).
teju Aug 5, 2010:
I see your point Muriel, but, it does say "iniciar un programa", that doesn't sound like something you'd ingest. Perhaps "su toma" refers to a pill, drink or meal program that is mentioned somewhere else in the text. It would be good to hear from the client.
Muriel Vasconcellos Aug 5, 2010:
"Su toma" is key Taking "it" would be a reference to something that the patient ingests - therefore, it refers to the pill, not an overall figure-shaping program.
Lisa McCarthy (asker) Aug 4, 2010:
Hi Teju Yes, you're right. Forgot to mention that this product is among a list of other products in a catalogue. I suppose I'll have to consult the client on this one.
teju Aug 4, 2010:
Hi Lisa, it's hard to tell if it's the name of the program, in which case it would not be translated, or they meant something like "fitness program", "weight loss program", etc.
Lisa McCarthy (asker) Aug 4, 2010:
info Text is referring to a health supplement, taken in capsule form.

Silhouette Solution program

I'm not sure any more about what I wrote in the discussion. I found a website that offers prepared meals. See below.

Silhouette Solution
Lose weight quickly, safely and permanently with, a medically supervised program that will work where willpower or the latest fad diets are bound to fail.

6 Reasons why you'll LOVE the Silhouette Solution. 1. It's Simple: Just use one of our calibrated Silhouette™ Staples every 2-3 hours and have one ...
thesilhouettesolution.com/program/Reasons.aspx

According to the website, this appears to be a program of prepapred foods (Silhouette Staples) plus vitamins.

"I created the Silhouette Solution program after I succeeded in solving my own weight problem. A few years ago, I experienced a significant weight gain that I couldn’t seem to shift. That’s when I realized it didn’t matter how much I knew, what mattered was to figure out what worked. I like to EAT, and so do most people, which is why they fail on the majority of diets. Because if they eat, it’s far too easy to eat the wrong things because the food companies and advertisers know how to influence all to do that, and the alternative to not eating is starving, which no-one likes. So I studied what would work best, what was medically proven, applied it to my own situation, and shredded 34lb. in 3 mos."

The Silhouette Solution is based on science that’s been extensively reviewed by the National Institutes for Health, the Institute of Medicine and used in different forms by many high-cost medical weight-loss clinics. With this program, you eat LOTS, you won’t be hungry — and the extra fat will just fall away — with or without exercise (though exercise is always good)! What’s more - once you’ve dropped your initial weight, we transition you to a program pioneered by Harvard’s top weight management doctor, Dr. George Blackburn, so you can learn to keep the weight off once you’ve achieved your goals — and most importantly, stop your body from trying to return to its prior weight.

Silhouette Staples comprise everything you need besides your Silhouette-approved meal, water and vitamins, to achieve your rapid fat loss. The great news! You‘re not spending extra money for the Silhouette Solution. The Silhouette Staples replace meals you currently buy (grocery store, restaurants, fancy coffee shops, snacks, etc). You’ll receive two full months’ of carefully calibrated foods for maximum weight loss. Here are all the boxes of Silhouette Staples you’ll be getting (with seven servings in each)

I had never heard of it, but it's a Donald Trump enterprise.

Silueta Program

Silueta is a trademark. See ref.

Note from asker:
A possibility, Leonardo :) And not such an easy one Phil, we don't know for sure if this is what they are actually referring to. And does it make sense or mean anything to a UK audience? Does it need an explanation in brackets? I personally wouldn't have a clue what a 'Silueta programme' actually meant.
That's if I didn´t live here, obviously :)

agree philgoddard : Easily found by Googling.

Muchas gracias Phil.
disagree Victoria Frazier : I don´t think a weight loss program would be based solely on these products in the UK.
