    I wouldnt reccomend slimfast only if your in a rush and would skip a meal otherwise there really high in sugar and get boring after a few days and alot of people tend to put the weight back on as its a quick fix and not a lifestyle change better to count calories in healthier options or portion sizes

    Did slim fast years ago and ended up with awful stomach cramps! Resulted in me having bowel issues for years afterwards. It's not sustainable!

    I did the Slim~Fast Optima Plan back in 2008. Lost 82# between Jan & Sept. Back then they gave you a lot more to eat and the support from the dieticians was fantastic! I had no problem with the shakes or meal bars, but with the options you had you didn't even have to use their products. Then it all changed. I was invited over here to MFP by some friends from SF and have kept the weight off for 10 years now using the same type of eating; 200 cal. breakfast, 100 + cal. snack, 400 cal. lunch, 100+ cal. snack, 500 cal. supper & 100 cal. snack. I didn't workout back then, but did walk 3-5 miles or more 6-7 days a week. Everyone has to do what works for them, and this lifestyle works for me. I get the comments above about higher in sugar, but most shakes or meal bars do. I don't buy SF because they are usually more expensive, but I do buy Pure Protein meal bars and Equate weight loss shakes. Like I said we all have to find what works for us as individuals and this is how I do it.

    CICO is all you need. Slimfast may work for short term weight loss, but at the end of the day all it is is a money making scheme. How else would they stay in business if all their customers kept the weight off??
