Anyone Tried Slim Fast Diet?

slim fast is junk in a can get some real nutrition into you and get the body off on the right foot.

I agree slim fast is good, for quick noticable difference, its good to motivate you to keep going! I've been dieting (albeit not very well) for the past 6 weeks and have seen barely any movement on the scales, but I kno ppl that have lost loads in a smaller amount of time on slim fast! People say that u'll put the weight straight back on as soon as u start eating again, but as long as u combine healthier foods with exercise you may put some back on but prob not all of it! I'd say give it a go! Another alternative would be protein shakes, my trainer at the gym says he sometimes uses that as meal replacement as its keeps u going for longer than slim fast and also replensihes ur muscles after a workout, so maybe give that a try after ur slim fast too! Good luck, add me as a friend and keep me updated on how it goes and I may give it a try too! Holiday in 6 weeks, need to start seeing some difference! :-)

Well y not? If its the same calories it shouldn't matter! Slim fast has worked for a lot of ppl I know, especially to kick start your body into loosing weight!

yes slimfast has worked for many ppl but as other ppl have stated there are similar calories in other tastey foods as there is in slim fast, in some cases the calories are less in the food so why go for a boring shake, it can be affective slimfast but id say stick to a healthy low fat diet and forget slimfast

Well, I like to say I managed to lose weight with Slim Fast ... twice. And why did I have to do it twice? Because the minute I went back to eating real food, the weight went back on again, because I hadn't learned anything about better eating. Slim Fast is for people who want to lose weight rapidly, but then so is any other fad diet. Slim Fast is not for life. If you want to be healthy rather than just losing weight, you are much better off learning to eat the right foods and exercising. There just is no acceptable substitute for the hard work. Be good to yourself and don't take the quick fix.

my mom used to eat nothing, just drink those and got down to a size 7. but as a woman with wide hips and at 5'11", it was not healthy! she's gained weight since then.
i used them for good, though. i could never eat breakfast. i just couldn't stomach it. i'd drink half a shake, then a full shake, then a poptart and now i can stomach a bowl of cereal ))

i'd say go for it, as long as you know what you've got to do when you come off u'll be fine.

Wow... you all are sooo negative... I never post... but I feel like someone needs to speak up..

First of all, I'm a guy, 27 years old. Last year, I weighed 285 pounds so I started dieting. I went on a 1500 calorie diet plus an hr of exercise everyday and lost 75 pounds in 90 days. My 1500 calorie diet consisted of 2 slim fast- everyday. The key is to eat 250 calories every 3 hrs. Example:

6am - slimfast & fruit cup (230 cal)

9am - sardines on 5 crackers (240 cal)

12pm- slimfast, fruit cup (230 cal)

3pm- packaged salmon & v8 low sodium (250 cal)

6am - grilled chicken, onions and bell peppers (400 cals)

Indulgence: 1 nature valley granola bar (for the grain) 190 cal

You don't use the slim fast 3-2-1 plan... but you do use the milkshakes for the vitamins, minerals and for the convenience. Like I say, I enjoy the slim fast... but the atkins shakes are alittle better (plus they have strawberry flavor) and again, use them to count calories. A milkshake is heavy on your stomach and will temporarily provide hunger relief...but I never really had excess hunger pains cause, hey, I was able to eat every 3 hours...

What worked for me was slimfast, fish and chicken.

Secondly, you must exercise also. I don't have to run 6 miles- hell you don't even have to run- just do something to keep your heart rate up for 60 minutes. A fast heart rate increases your cardiovascular health and also BURNS CALORIES. Just 1 hr a day- run, swimming, play basketball, football, doesn't matter... when I first started I'd run for 30 seconds then walk 90 seconds- the entire time ur walking yr heart should be pounding... of course thats when I was a lazy-fatty, and u need to adjust to what your body reacts to... you get the idea...

Anyways, so sick of people doggin slim fast. It is as advertised- MEAL REPLACEMENT. Doesn't matter if you drink Slim Fast for a year if your pounding down a large pizza at night or sitting at home watching CSI re-runs. Slim Fast clearly advertises you can lose weight with DIET AND EXCERCISE...

SO YES... SLIM FAST WORKS... if you count calories properly and excercise

What is with all these necro threads lately???

Hi has anyone done the 321 plan? And do you habe to stick to the same tomes for everything?

deleted for necro post

I never tried any diet and pills for loosing weight, one of my friend use it as he is having very busy schedule and he didnot get the time for doing exercise and all, he tried it for a week and it really works on him, after that i didnot know what happen with him.

Sugary and expensive. It's a scam, just eat normal healthy food.

I make my own shakes (nutribullet), and use shakeology now and then so no Slimfast shakes. However, I use the Slimfast drink powder and have to say it has worked wonders for me. It eliminates cravings, keeps me full, has a bunch of good vitamins, is sugar and calorie free and is really yummy. Mixed with water it's like a fruit punch. I have even sprinkled the powder on my yogurt, in my cereals, etc. It def helps me maintain.
