    OP why don't you save your money and just eat in a calorie deficit? All you are doing with slim fast is paying someone to create a deficit for you, when MFP does that for free.....
    Because it's the easy way out and no thinking is necessary.

    You can't expect to be on shakes your entire life, at some point you're going to have to learn how to eat healthy. Why not do it NOW?

    mental laziness...?
    & physical. why cook when you can just open a bottle

    sigh...sad but true, I suppose....

    I'm all for a shake a day if you need calories but don't have time to eat breakfast/lunch, whatever.

    But you got to eat food. You might lose a lot drinking shakes, but it won't teach you how to eat properly, watch portions etc. So you'll just be more likely to gain the weight back once you switch back to real food.

    For a diet to be effective long term, you need to change your lifestyle... so unless you're willing to eat shakes forever, it's not going to help you.
