yes I've lost 80lbs doing slimfast in 2006. I was doing the optimal plan.i still have the plan info if your interested i can post it.

I used Slim-fast recently and I lost about 12lbs in 3-4 wks but I've stopped using it because its been making my stomach hurt. I loved the results and since I skip meals I found it was simple and easy to do. I did the 3-2-1. I had (3) 100 calorie snacks 2 shakes and for dinner a 300-500 cal dinner usually a Lean cuisine or Weight watchers meal. I loved the shakes they kept me full and satisfied.
My nutritionist said I could try doing 2 wks and then rest for 2 wks but continue to eat healthy. Another thing I'm going to try is not getting the ready shakes and doing the powder. We'll see how it goes.

Yes, it can be too much if you
take more than 1 a day.
The ingredients for the liquid
(I picked Vanilla as a general
flavor) are at
There is 33% of the RDA of
Vitamin A and just under 30%
of Vitamins D and E. Those are
the fat-soluble vitamins in it,
and while the RDA is much
lower than the optimal dosage,
it doesn't specify the source of
any of those (which is a
double-whammy problem
because some forms of those
aren't good). Even worse is
that there is 28% of Calcium,
40% of Magnesium, 27% of
Iron, 51% of Zinc, 72% of
Iodine... there is a good high
amount of the minerals, which
you typically shouldn't get
more than the RDA from (with
minimal exception).
Now, if you only take 1 Slim
Fast a day, it should generally
be safe if you take it a few
hours apart from your multi...
but taking them closer
together could make it difficult
for your body to absorb all
those minerals (and maybe
vitamins), and if minerals
aren't absorbed properly, they
may be deposited elsewhere in
your body.
As a side note, your body can't
absorb more than 600 mg
(60% RDA) of Calcium at any
given point in time, so that's
another reason to not take a
Calcium product (including a
Multi) near when you take a
Slim Fast.

I just started using the shakes again this morning, Im using the chocolate royal with almond milk, and instead i use 3 cups of almond milk per one scoop of slimfast just so its not as sugary tasting

Is there a dietary reason for not using fat free milk the reason why i asked is because almond is my favorite but doesn't give your shake enough protein. Look on the can 2 gm of protein in just the mix once you mix it with the fat free milk it gives it the 10 gm of protein. Have you tried fat free lactaid milk. It's pretty good no funny aftertaste.

I'm interested in learning more about the Optima plan. Also, how hard was it to keep off the weight once you stopped doing Slim Fast?
