I was wondering if anyone has tried the slim fast plan? Was it successful?

    I did the shakes in college, which was like 7-10 years ago. They tasted like dense chalk back then, but I hear they have a new recipe. You can definitely lose weight with the plan, but I don't think you learn how to maintain afterward.

    One of the best things about MFP's method of dieting is that you're learning healthy habits that are going to help once you reach your goal and move into maintenance. You get a feel for how to eat and a lot of information about nutrition, moderation, and what's in the foods you love to eat. With Slimfast and products/plans like it people tend to go back to their old eating habits and gain the weight back.
