Slim Fast?

Question

has anyone ever tried losing weight using the slim fast system? i'm thinking about trying it to drop a few pounds before my wedding. what's the best flavor of shake or snack bar? how much did you lose?

let me add this little disclaimer: i'm not overweight just wanna lose 5 lbs. or so and i know this is not a long term solution. i just wanna lose the bloat and slim down a bit before my wedding!

Answer 1

I don't anymore...but it worked for me at the time. Their chocolate varieties are good...the vanilla is "okay" and the strawberry is awful...unless it is in the juice form. The juices are good. The snack bars are all right. You'll feel hungry at first...but it passes after about a week or so. I used it at the time because I needed "breakfast on the go" and it saved me a lot of time. I ate a real good lunch, because you burn off the calories at work...and then had a shake in the evening...instead of the other way around. I got almost too skinny on it! I actually had to go back and put some weight back on after a while...but I was more active at the time, too.

I had to come back and add this part: Drink the shakes cold...and use a straw to avoid a metalic taste from the can.

If you click on my name or avatar, and look under my best answers; I came up with a much better solution. The question will be about fruits and vegetables. I recommended a couple of nutritious shakes that became my ultimate solution. It works much better for me. Good Luck!

Any 'nutrition' promises weight attain while you quit the nutrition. This is going with ANY nutrition. Why? Because a nutrition isn't a way of life difference, this is a transitority difference. So of path your frame will shed some pounds, opening with water weight the primary 3 weeks...however then once you get off the nutrition and consume 'most commonly', your frame gets all 'excited' after having been on a 'hunger' mode, and attain weight. Slim Fast is not dangerous for you...it has many vitamins and minerals and such, however in case you desire to shed some pounds on it, you're going to have got to keep on it and do so much bodily pastime. It's very tough, as you're going to continuously be hungry on the grounds that it does no longer manipulate your starvation. One shake, actually, are not able to change an entire meal.

Slim fast does work.You must substitute a shake or a meal bar with a glass of low fat milk for 2 meals per day.Then you should have a regular meal preferably in the middle of the day consisting of about 1000 calories which is a lot of food.This will give you a total of about 1500 calories per day which is safe.I lost 40 pounds in about 3 months.You will feel a little hungry at first but this will pass.My doc said slim fast is safe as long as you keep your calories at 1500.If you don't want to eat 1000 calories at one meal then you can have snacks and slim fast offers the bar snacks which are good.I have found that the chocolate bars are the best.The cappuccino drink is my favorite

This is better. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way you have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.
