slim fast shakes?

Hey, I personally hate them and they leave me hungry!
My Mother used them and lost 5lbs in 2 weeks with them but said she was never satisfied!

Slimfast are also FULL of sugar (Look at the packaging)

In my opinion you're MUCH better off going to somewhere like myprotein.com and buying their meal replacement shakes, they're a lot healthier and have hardly any sugar, and a lot of protein! Slim fast is cheap because its cheap produce.

Hope this helps!

I've been on Slim Fast for 8 days and they fill me. I've lost 6lb in that time and I don't have a great deal to lose so this is very rapid for me - my exercise is walking for 1-2 hours a day. I've been on the 3-2-1 Slim Fast so I've been having a shake for breakfast, a mid morning Slim Fast snack, a shake for lunch, 2 Slim Fast snacks in the afternoon and a healthy meal in the evening. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another - our bodies and metabolisms and cravings are all different. Yes, I agree with the sugar aspect - I'm over on my sugar each day. But this is the first diet I've stuck to in a long while and one I'm really enjoying so I'm happy enough to be slightly over on my sugar for the time being.

If you stick to the rules.of shakes you will lose weight it's not really a magic secret remedy it's literally as simple as staying below a certain amount of calories ... you really don't need shakes to do that but for some it is easier to use shakes ( I did herbalife in January another shake diet ). Shakes will get you results but you have to ask yourself if you want the results to last or if you want to pile the lbs back on once you start eating as shakes won't be good in the long run x

I have used slim fast in the past and the long term results never stayed. This time I have breakfast which every morning is Fage 0% greek yogurt and About Time (whichever flavor I feel like) protein powder. Less sugar, less calories, more filling, and 48 grams of protein which curbs my hunger and gives me energy. Slim fast is good for short term but not long term.

I have been using the Pure Protein shakes from Trader Joes as part of my breakfast, plus two light string cheeses from trader joes. 220 calories total, eat at 7am and I am good until 11-12 for lunch. The first couple of weeks were rough, but I think your body adjusts. I used to eat a lot, so my body was used to more food. But now that I've been controlling portions for 5 months, I am never hungry.

Juice+ works for us and it only contains fruit veg and berries...............works at a cellular level so easily digestible and has great preventative health benefits.

I think they taste absolutely disgusting and they didn't fill me up at all.

I'm actually taking them now replacing it with breakfast since I'm not a breakfast person and I don't get hungry in the morning. But yes it's true, they're NOT filling at all, instead of 1, I have to drink 2 of those ****ers for breakfast in order to get full lmao! :laugh: But it usually lasts me for like 4 hours and then I get hungry again. I drink them couple hours before I do my cardio workout since I don't wanna eat really heavy food before working out. I love working out early in the morning that's why. Then I have my regular lunch/dinner. But honestly I wouldn't use them as replacement meals, unless you're like me who doesn't eat breakfast.

I am confused. If you are not hungry in the morning, why would you need two Slim Fasts to satiate you ? If you really don't need/want food in the AM start eating whenever you feel like it and eat your calories let's say from noon on. I start eating at around 2 pm, because I have found that after eating breakfast for almost 60 years, that I feel much better if I don't. I now eat my food between 2-9 pm, enjoy this way and have lost 50 pounds.

To me, those shakes are like any other fad diet... Get a quick result that you can't maintain. They are loaded with sugar, so you get a brief energy boost and a crash later. They are not filling at all. The best way to lose successfully and maintain is to learn to eat generally healthy, granting yourself the occasional indulgence, and exercise. A healthy lifestyle is far better than any lose quick "scheme".
