Has anyone tried a Slim-Fast diet plan...and did it work?

Question

I have quite a bit of weight to lose, but I'd like a little something to help me supplement it. I'm on the Slim Fast website right now...and it says to drink two shakes a day, and have some snacks.....has anyone tried to do anything with a Slim Fast plan, did it work? And was it too costly? I'm currently trying LA Weight Loss and it is sucking every penny out of my wallet...I have to give it up. Thanks so much!

Another question...did anyone keep the weight off? Just wondering. Like...do u have to keep drinking those stupid shakes for life? Lol

Answer 1

I have been on the Slim Fast diet plan and it did work and I have kept the weight off. I guess it taught me to eat better and what kinds of foods fill me up. For breakfast, I had a shake and some yogurt. Then, a couple hours later, an apple or some kind of fruit. For lunch, a shake with a salad. For pm snack, a slim fast snack bar (they are WAY good). Normal dinner and a slim fast snack bar for snack before bed. I never felt like I was going hungry and it is not that expensive. A lot of stores sell the generic brand that is much cheaper and works and tastes just as well. Make sure you drink the shakes ice cold or else they taste like crap.

Answer 2

Hi there! I wanted to lose ten pounds and I used the slim fast diet to help me. I found that it was cheaper than most diets, but I always felt bloated. Also, I found that I needed to do some form of exercise in order to lose the weight at a faster rate. It's all about the diet and exercise. The only thing is, with this plan, I found that I gained the weight back faster. I actually also just finished one year of LA Weight Loss. I did it with my now ex-husband and I kept my weight off, twelve pounds. He had more than fifty pounds to lose and did so on the LA Weight Loss plan, but it was expensive! After our divorce he put the weight back on. I kept it off by adding exercise and just learning about portion control and just how much I really should be eating. I hope some of this helps! Good luck and believe in yourself!

Answer 3

I didn't do it to lose weight, but I just wanted a healthy diet.

You know I actually lost a little weight, but I looked better because I exercise as well and I got more toned.

It wasn't really that expensive. It cost about 10-20 dollars more than my usual grocery bill. But man you eat ALL the time. Don't worry about being hungry.....ever. But the food is so good for you and quite tasty.....even the snacks. That you don't feel like a fat slob eating.

I think you should try just for a month and see what you think.

Answer 4

I've never tried it. Diets are not my thing. I find it easier to just exercise. If you're motivated and dedicated to losing weight, it probably will work. The problem with diets is keeping the weight off.

Anyways, you go girl and lose that weight!
