Anyone done Slim Fast?

I have some at home.....not bad if your totally in a pinch but really eating a healthy meal is way more satifying than just a "liquid lunch". My intentions are good to start but don't really because its ony drinking and not eatting. I don't reccomend it!

they aren't good for the short term or any term and aren't filling at all.
real food. calorie deficit. you don't need to waste your money.

I used to use Slim Fast but I switched to Atkins. I only use them once in awhile when I am in a hurry and want a quick breakfast so I don't go out on an empty stomach.

Not as a diet no. I do however like Target diet shakes (milk chocolate) as breakfast sometimes if I am in a hurry. They taste good and keep my vitamins from upsetting my stomach.

My doctor put me on slim fast for the iron after having my kids, I was anemic. I always just used it as a quick breakfast , my stomach gets upset if I eat a heavy breakfast. Anyways I'm using it a little more now that I'm trying to loose weight. I love how it taste I recommend getting the powder not the ready to go , tastes a lot better and little more healthy too. I find it keeps me full .

I have drunk SlimFast, way back in they day, and found they made my thirsty for another one, and didn't fill me up, so I was drinking 2 of them. Kinda defeated the purpose, really. I know the Myoplex shakes from EAS years ago were really good, and they filled you up for a few hours, but I haven't had them in several years, not since they came pre-made.

I used the bars a couple of times for lunch which were delicious but sadly not filling

no. Just use this app/website as it's designed. There's no point in doing it. Why pay more for that when you can have real food, at a reasonable deficit, lose weight, and not have to choke down godawful shakes?

The forums have been full of people that sign up for this website, then hit the forums for shortcuts/jumpstarters/kickstarters/cheats...

You'll see a dozen accounts with 2 forums posts, that have been around for maybe a week... and they're asking what shortcuts are available or how the community feels about them. Sure, it's just my .02, but you're here.. you've already signed up for the best tool you can use. Track your intake, eat back your ex. calories, and just be patient. This is a marathon, OP, not a sprint.

I have used them on/off. I am currently using some various ones. I am not a breakfast eater and this has helped me. I have been using the SlimFast, and also from GNC shakes. There is also Herbalife, Cookies and Cream. I drink have them in the the morning and have been trying to have in afternoon. I can keep you posted.

It worked for me, and I thought the shakes tasted really good...As long as you don't splurge after the diet you'll be fine
And fyi...it is waaaaay faster than regular dieting since its liquid

m-f i'm on slim fast and following the zone diet as best as i can the rest of the time. because there are more "snacks" on the zone diet i never feel hungry. the first week was murder i won't lie. murder because i wasn't getting enough calories and because i was re-learning how to eat in the zone.

i don't drink the shakes sat or sun because i'm trying to work hard to learn how to eat on my own without the help of the shakes and in the correct portions. eventually i'll cut them out altogether, but for me it's been a quick and easy way to keep my calories down while learning a new way of eating.

my goal is to incorporate these healthy eating habits into my daily routine. eventually i'll cut the "diet" (slim fast) part out.

the sugar is a bit on the nasty side though. you really have to watch that.

My parents did. It didn't work. But they've tried every quick fix stupid diet from the lemonade fast to the salt water cleanse and would end up binging on fried ****.

I'd personal rec eggs or one of the Odwalla bars, tbh, if you're going to eat breakfast or trying to replace a meal.

I, however, don't eat breakfast. Back when the semester was on, I had swimming and jogging in the morning. I throw up if I eat before I work out. And now, I wake up so late in the day, my breakfast is my lunch. And I think it would literally be insane for me to eat before I do insanity or 30 day shred or run or whatever.

Plus, from trying those shake things once—they're kind of gross. I don't like forcing myself to eat nasty things. I'd rather just eat a small amount of something good. Or one of the barely edible protein bars. Or a soy/turkey sausuge—high protein to keep you full and the calories aren't that bad.

I have tried Slim Fast a few times over the past 10 years. Never really saw results any time I tried it. Just ended up hungry and wanting to binge! Also- their Chocolate Royale shake should be called Chalk-late... yuck

I tried them years ago before I woke up to the reality of healthy living. They didn't fill me up at all! Just a can of sugar. If you want a shake that will keep you full and isn't full of sugar try a protein shake. I wouldn't use it as a meal replacement though. Eat your food, don't drink it. And have a protein shake as a snack to hold you until your next meal when you are feeling hungry. I like to use natural flavorless protein powder and mix that with whatever I choose. It doesn't have a strong flavor so it won't change the flavor of what you add it to.

I did Slim Fast about 25 years ago. I would use the powder mix though, not the cans, and mix in the blender with ice. I would replace dinner with a shake Mon-Friday and relax on the weekends. I lost 50 lbs in a year's time.
