    I use Slim fast but no strictly, I sustitute one meal with the shake every now and then, specially if I know i´m gonna be tempted by food later, like parties o dates. And plus, I like the shakes but I can´t see me taking them for breakfast and dinner, it´s too much! :noway:

    I lost 30lb on it and was maintaining it until I got pregnant now I'm back at it but this time I tend to only drink them for breakfast or lunch and eat real food the other two meals and a snack in between lunch and dinner and it's still working! I love it because it's quick and convient and with two under two that's great for me lol

    I've used slim fast esque products before. What I discovered is like several others have said its a great kick starter or good for strategic use such as combining with other products to boost protein intake, using a product w a reasonable sugar, fiber, protein balance as a preexercise snack etc. Or as a quick acting snack and shelf stable for people with food sensitivities such as soy, gluten, dairy etc...

    Lots of great information here. The shakes really do work for me (I'm a 60-year-old female), but I'm okay with substituting a shake for solid food for two of my three daily meals; it's true that not everyone is satisfied with that. I have found that drinking lots of water between meals keeps me on track so I don't get hungry. I had maintained my body at a size 3 for seven years until I had cancer in 2014, when my weight went up along with my dress/pants size (to a size 11). I just re-started the shakes today because I have a wardrobe full of beautiful clothes I am tired of not being able to fit into. Agree with those that exercise is a key component also.
