Has anyone tried these together? I started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred yesterday. I woke up today and started SlimFast diet plan with one Strawberry shake for breakfast. Later I decided to do HIIT instead of the 30 Day Shred since I was sore all over! I am going to continue 30 Day shred tomorrow and SlimFast as I need to drop 15 pounds to be at my goal. I really need to tone up and I know lifting would help, but I'm wondering if the Shred program will be sufficient and also combining it with SlimFast is a good idea?

    Have you done Slimfast before? Cause I was using it just for a quick breakfast meal and it was making me really sick. If you haven't, I wouldn't invest too much money in it until you know if it's going to make you sick.

    Also, I'm no expert (pretty new actually) but I know that the 30 day Shred is hardcore, so you're gonna burn some major calories. Why would you need a meal replacement?

    It's only day 1 and it made me sick! I think I am gonna stick to my regular diet and shred and HIIT. Hopefully that will tone me up and burn some fat off.

    I have had slimfast before and it's never made me sick....it's just like a milkshake...in fact it's too easy to drink for me....have you guys thought about checking with your doc if you are perhaps lactose intolerant? It may just be that you just don't like it but best to check...does any other diary make you feel like that if you have a large quantity?

    Sometimes. I could be lactose intolerant :/ however, I'm gonna try it one more time tomorrow and if I don't get any allergic reactions to it I will continue at least until I finish the 2 cases I just bought. Hate for it to go to waste. Allergic reactions as of today: skin irritation and abdominal discomfort.

    Nope, I'm not lactose intolerant. It was definitely the Slim Fast. Google will give you lots of information on it happening to others.

    Does 30 Day Shred not come with some meal ideas?

    I am lactose intolerant and can not drink Slim Fast, protein shake, yogurt or anything with dairy or casein. If you are lactose intolerant, trying the shake again is still going to make you sick. Perhaps just eat a well balanced meal and forgo the shake. Just a thought.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I am gonna opt out of the SlimFast plan. :/ Terrible it didn't work out for me. Possibly go with the 30 Day Shred Meal Plan.
