    I am not a fan of Slim Fast. For the 200 calories in each can I can eat a chicken breast, green vegetable and a salad.

    If you have them for convenience, I also think there are much better quality of shakes that you can buy with a better ratio of protein to carbs.

    Shake diets a fine for fast weight loss but if you get to the end of it and dont make some permianant changes your just going to put it back on. (Been there done that, it sucks)
    They also are not great in terms of nutritional quality and when I used them I got very board very quickly.

    I use meal replacements in the morning on occasion, but only when I am tempted to skip breakfast. I've gotten more consistent about eating breakfast and have not used a meal replacement recently.

    Slim fast is not impressive macro wise. Ensure High Protein and similar drinks are better choices, if you're going to drink a meal. It's pretty expensive though at about $2.50 per bottle. Eating is certainly cheaper. LOL.

    Exactly this. However, make sure you aren't buying a garbage powder that's loaded with carbs, otherwise you might as well have stuck with the Slim Fast.
