    I believe it to be more of a quick fix than a lifelong change. I did Slim Fast years ago and lost about 10 pounds...but when I started eating something other than Slim Fast, I gained it all back and a little more too.

    I think it's OK for a meal on the run every now and then when you don't have the time, but not really a realistic way to lose weight and keep it off since you are not changing yoru habits and learning how to properly eat and workout.

    That's exactly what it is...a quick fix. You have to change the way you think about food. Its okay if you need to lose 5 lbs or so to fit into that dress for a special occasion. But as for the long term...not so much. :smile:

    I always thought of it as a laxative......my friend says it doesn't do that to her she drinks it as a meal replacement but thanks for the info!

    Slimfast works for me, but i like to add Protein whey Powder to mine to get extra Protein in it.
