Slim Fast Shakes??

I haven't done the slimfast shakes BUT I have tried Celebrity Slim shakes...Its a total meal replacement and I tried the 2 week intense programme.

The shakes are nice but you can have 4 shakes a day AND THATS IT!! No snacks whatsoever, no alcohol and you must work out for at least 30 mins every day!

Needless to say I didn't stick out the whole 2 weeks, it was just too hard BUT in that 1 week I lost 5lbs!! Problem is once you start eating again the weight goes straight back on!

They didn't fill me either like it says they should so I was very hungry!

I would suggest if you really want to lose weight fast for an event then definitely give it a go as the shake diets DO work however be prepared to put the weight back on when your done and even using the 2 shakes / 1 meal option is going to leave you hungry till you can get passed the first week at least!

Hope this helps a little and good luck

Oh my, this doesn't sound very healthy at all. And once you stop things will probably go downhill from there. Not to be a downer but it happens all the time.

How many threads are you going to start about this? The answer will be no learn to eat at a reasonable deficit and stop looking for quick fixes because you waited too long to start. 20 lbs in a month is not realistic or safe.

20 pounds in a month isn't realistic unless you're lopping off body parts.

And Slim Fast shakes? Prepare for horrible gastrointestinal effects.

Everyone's different, so if it is something you want to do then go for it...

Be prepared though, I did the Cambridge weight plan (twice), although I lost shed loads of weight I put every single pound and then some back on.
It's tough to do a complete meal replacement as well, you do feel quite isolated so clear your calendar because the socials go out the window

SlimFast have the highest sugar content of all of them so you may be best going for a more reputable balanced plan.

So if I said I want to lose 20lbs by this weekend, I'm going to cut off my arm .. would you say just go for it???

I am not on here to debate with someone whio is going to take what you say, exaggerate it to a ridiculous level and then try to challenge you on it. I am just trying to add something a little bit more productive to the conversation.

Bad advice is bad advice. Trying to lose 20 lbs in a month is ridiculous, encouraging it is even more ridiculous.

And you follow it with I tried something similar and gained everything back when I stopped. Recommending to people to just go for it now matter what the plan, is bad advice.

Hey girl. I am doing a nutritional plan that is amazing. I have lost 11.5 lbs in 6 days and 10 inches. I feel amazing. I have had many health issues including chronic pain and unbalanced hormones so I wantes to make sure what ever I did was nutrition based. I was tired all the time before I started this and by day 3 I felt like a brand new woman. It is the most amazing thing. I feel like I am getting my life back.

What plan is this?

How much is this costing me?

Unproductive advice is unproductive advice. People are going to do whatever they want to do - as if me writing "No that's insane" on a forum is going to stop someone making up their own mind?
There were good and bad points to doing the plan, such as I felt healthier, my stomach problems disappeared, my skin cleared up, nails looked better than ever etc. Was it good long term - No, was it drastic - Yes...
What you want is to chastise someone for trying something different and quite frankly I’m not that way inclined.
So at the end of the day, opinions are like ars*holes - everyone has one

So because you think because someone is going to do whatever they want to do then you should just encourage that? No matter how unhealthy? And if someone is going to do whatever they want then why even bother posting advice?

Bad advice is bad advice. It's okay to be wrong. No one should encourage anyone to try to lose 20# in a month. Why? Because it's unrealistic. What happens when that month is up and they didn't lose 20#? Don't you think someone might get discouraged, or give up? Whereas, if you tried to offer advice that advised the OP to do this the healthy, sustainable way, advise them to reevaluate their goals and create realistic ones, in a month when the OP might have lost 5-10#, I guarantee they won't quit, they'll see they can do it and continue on.

ETA: Jwhite wasn't chastising you for being different, she was trying to make you see how encouraging an unhealthy weight loss is bad advice. You said yourself that you went on a diet and gained it all back so...

Lol. Its not. I feel better than I have in as long as I can remember. I was so sick and had tried everything including calorie restrictions to lose weight. My doctor and I discussed this and he was on board. It has been life changing. If you have packed on pounds from severe illness and nothing works you will do anything to feel better.:)

and yet... no details. incredible.

Ive done slimfast in the past the only thing I did find is it isn't a "quick" way to lose weight I dont think its even meant as a quick loss ...most people still lose 1-2 lb per week because u eat snacks and a meal...I think it gets a bad rep and actually is a pretty good plan if done correctly most people think its just shakes..and take the cheap and easy route instead of buying all the snacks and veggies your really supposed to have with it. With all that said if you trying to lose a large number on the scale in a certain amount of time Im not here to judge you exercise and low carbs 180-200 grams daily at a 1200-1600 on the cals intake prob would be best...try a spin class or a cardio if your physically fit and able..good luck
