Slim Fast

I sometimes drink a high protein slim fast shake for breakfast, because I'm lazy in the morning and don't usually feel like preparing food before work. However, slim fast doesn't CAUSE weight loss. The slim fast program only works because it creates a calorie deficit, and you can achieve a calorie deficit no matter what you choose to eat.

I agree with her, except I don't drink slim fast. I make my own protein shakes (protein powder, almond milk, raw cocoa, peanut butter, spinach, flax, and a banana).

The thing with Slim Fast is the first ingredient is sugar and some people think that's all they need to do, they lose the weight then go back to "normal" eating and gain it back. Whereas, if they make a lifestyle change, eat at a deficit until they lose the weight, better shot at keeping it off once they hit goal because they will have made the right changes.

I'm not saying you won't make the right changes, or that the scenario above applies to you. I'm just giving my opinion.

I eat what I want and am losing weight. It's pretty awesome.

Do you plan on drinking slim fast forever?

I've used it as a protein shake after lifting in the past, but I am always hungry almost an hour later. So not worth in my opinion. I have a pack sitting next to the fridge that are about 6 months old.

I use them when I don't have access to food options....

Me too. They're great in a hurry, but it's not real food. I never have my hunger satisfied by them. They aren't any more filling than that many ounces of water are. But it's much better for you than whatever you could grab at the drive through!

Never had too much use for slimfast. Too much sugar for me.

I haven't had them for a long time, but I used to have one before I went to work in the morning so I could make it to my break so my blood sugar wouldn't drop. Now I just eat a regular breakfast. Right now I usually eat a light english muffin with whipped peanut butter and cinnamon honey and drink a glass of 1% milk. They're not bad if you don't have time for breakfast.

Wow
I'm kinda surprised people still drink slim quick!
I get most my nutrients from protein and fruit and vegetables
And the best meal replacement shake I've found is shakeology
It's a condensed shake of over 70 super food ingredients
It was work for me to make shakes but now that I have a shake that is so important to consume
I look forward to my shake everyday
I have tropical strawberry and I'm stoaked on getting vanilla next month

Hey! Just wanted to give my opinion. Slim fast has been great for me! I have lost 41 pounds so far since April. I think the key to using Slim Fast is drinking a lot of water, eating fresh fruits and veggies, and exercising. I don't agree with the 1 2 3 plan on their website because the calories are so low. But I usually drink one for breakfast, 2 hours later eat a snack, 2 hours later have another shake, 2 hours later eat another snack, then have a regular dinner and a dessert after. So I'm eating all the time and don't get hungry.

Alot of people claim you will have to drink it forever or gain your weight back. And I have to disagree. After I lost my first 25 or 30 pounds, I had to take a break due to family emergency from the slim fast and exercising. I replaced it with the same calories but regular food and I didn't gain any weight back. I didn't lose due to not exercising.

As long as you stay healthy, slim fast is a great option. It helps me take the guesswork out of planning my foods every week. Good luck!

I bought a case of 6, thought I would try it for that long. I love my eggs in the morning, so we'll see. Making my own shakes takes too much time,, I like just grabbing the shake out of the fridge. I already made the life style change. My breakfast before was a light english muffin with egg beaters (yum!) I just wanted to try something different.

I do Slimfast.. I have had great success with it.. I think any lower calorie plan will work fine though. You just need to do what is right for you. Not everyone loses weight the same. Not every "diet" works the same for everyone. Good luck with you weight loss!

I also disagree with people when they say you have to drink it forever or gain the weight back.. I have gone off it and did fine. People who use it and gain their weight right back, could be because they haven't gotten it through their heads quite yet that weight loss is a lifestyle change. This can happen with ANY weight loss plan. People need to understand if you wanna keep your weight loss(with any plan) you gotta kick out your bad eating habits.. You need to exercise and most of all learn to love yourself..
