    This probably isn't what you want to hear either, but Slim Fast diet is not worth it. The only good thing about slim fast is that it tastes pretty decent. The thing that makes the slim fast diet successful is the fact that it's a low calorie diet, but why waste your calories on shakes and meal bars when you can eat real food for the same amount of calories and nutrition? Not only that, but to maintain a slim fast diet is financially ridiculous *I* think, and it's just not worth your while. Consider a normal diet of fruits, vegetables, lean meats and grains, and incorporate some exercises in your daily life and call it good. Don't bother with these "diets" because it won't do you any good in the long run. I've heard of a lot of people losing weight on slim fast, but I've also heard of a lot of people losing weight AND KEEPING IT OFF (this is key) with real food and exercise as well, so... you choose.

    That's just my 2 cents, take it or leave it. In the end, it's all up to you and what you feel is best for YOU.

    Love and Alohas,

    I love Slim Fast with a nice plate of hot wings and bleu cheese with a side of mac and cheese.

    I have noticed when I started this diet, it is teaching me to eat portions. not eat, eat, and keep eating. It is teaching me my calorie intake. Yesterday, I did not have one slim fast product, used food I had around the house. Thanks for your two cents!!

    I started off on here doing slimfast, I still have some left for "an emergency" like if I need to rush to work and have no time to prepare anything. I lost 7lb in the 1st week, which I probably could have done with diet, it did teach me better portion sizes though it did have some disadvantages x

    Slim Fast works due to the simple fact that it is low calorie. The only problem with it is that its not something you can do for long term, which will cause you to revert back to old eating habits.
    I recommend counting calories & intergrating slim fast products every now and then. I admit I love the shakes, and do occasionally use them as a meal replacement.

    Love it! The sugar in the shakes make them taste great and it's been extremely helpful keeping my husband and I within our calorie range while we figure out a new diet we can both live with. It's a pretty daunting task to completely revamp your ENTIRE diet so it's been a whole lot easier being able to just concentrate on coming up with new dinner menus that are nutritious, satisfying and taste great instead of everything at once.

    Although, we're not following the 1200 calorie 3-2-1 plan with the Slimfast snacks so I'm not sure how satisfying the entire plan is but, like I said, the shakes taste good and have been a huge help keeping us both under our allotted calories for now.
