    I am on shakes and I disagree with most of the above posts! I understand the principles of healthy eating, calorie deficit and so on.. It's just much easier to maintain a calorie deficit with meal replacement shakes! If I ever got bored of it, I'd have a salad or something for lunch instead.. If you do the shakes but don't learn how to eat healthily that's an entirely different story. But if you are just looking for an easy way to maintain a deficit and you don't mind having the same thing for breakfast and lunch I say go for it. There is always dinner for the food part, and snacks and so on.

    I agree, I did slimfast to lose my first 80 pounds or so. I had one for breakfast and one for lunch. Cheap, and once your use to it, it becomes routine. I started to go to the gym about 3 months ago and now use Smoothie King Gladiator shake's for replacement meals at lunch as the protein is much much higher (and the extra calories help too for working out). I eat Wheaties or Total for breakfast and have done a complete lifestyle change fitness and eating wise.

    Has anyone ever tried to do the Slim-fast diet where you substitute two of your meals with a Slim-fast product? Would you recommend it? How easy/difficult was it to stick to?
    Thanks :)

    Yep,

    I did slim fast the first time I lost weight. I lost about 130lbs in 6 months, as soon as I stopped drinking the slim fast I gained a LOT of the weight back.

    Granted there were other variables to the above equation, but the thing about slim fast is you're not learning to fix the eating habits that got you overweight in the first place.
