what is slim fast diet? Does it work how long does it take to lose weight?

Answer 1

Slim Fast is an appetite suppressant. Not too many people can actually live off their diet plan of two shakes and one meal. Plus it works like a laxative in some of us. (personal experience here).

Try taking a multi vitamin - that will be better for you and probably curve your cravings just as well since cravings are your body's way of telling you that you are needing something.

A safe diet that you might want to try is the Special K challenge where they suggest you replace one meal with a bowl of cereal - lunch is good. Anyhow, doesn't have to be Special K, Cherrieos, Great Grains, Kix, etc anything that isn't soaked in sugar would work. I lost twenty pounds last summer on this diet plan and it was alot healthier for me than Slim Fast was.

Answer 2

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Slim Fast is ok. You drink the shakes and eat sensible meals. The problem is if you or your family is susceptable to gall bladder attacks, you will certainly get them. Personally the only real way to lose weight is to exercise and eat healthy. The pounds will drop quickly at first and then level off. Don't rush to do some sort of fad diet, it isn't healthy and you can set yourself up for health problems later in life.

Before choosing a particular diet pattern, there are two main factors, which need to be considered. The food items that you select should be nutritious to increase your overall stamina and also the food should be good to taste. If you want to continue your diet pattern for a long time, you need to enjoy your eatables.

It is truly possible to meet both these demands by consuming food rich in vitamins. You can follow the guidelines as suggested by your dietician, who can prepare a list of items that need to be consumed.

There are five main items that are considered to be a mixture of both taste and nutrition. They are tomatoes, garlic, basil, strawberries and spinach, which are rich in vitamins and they taste good too.

Tomatoes contain lycopene, plus vitamins A and C. Lycopene has a special characteristic, it reduces the chance of cell damage because it neutralizes the radicals. It is available in various processed forms such as ketchups, sauces, canned tomatoes and many more. It can be simply cooked during meals. Tomato soup is a common preparation from tomatoes that is really tasty. Besides garlic is an all time favorite spice that is added in most popular recipes. It comprises of many nutrients such as calcium, vitamin C and vitamin B6, phosphorus and selenium, plus antibiotic properties. Even basil is filled with the same nutrients like garlic.

Strawberry since ages has drawn attention due to its sparkling scarlet appearance. Some of the special nutrients present in it are potassium, riboflavin, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, copper, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids. Spinach adds an excellent taste to soups, curries etc.
All the above foods will keep you healthy.

Answer 5

It is a very unhealthy way to lose weight and often people who do it have to stay on it forever or gain the weight back. Basically you buy powerded shake mix, have a shake for breakfast, one for lunch and a sensible dinner. You are also supposed to supplement this with exercise. It is hard to follow as you will get hungry.

Answer 7

Makes me fart a lot.
It's a meal replacement program. You drink 2 shakes and have a "sensible" meal in the evening. But who can live off of 2 shakes?

Answer 8

You drink their shakes (twice daily) and eat one sensible meal. Good Luck. Those shakes only kept me for 1-2 hours. Of course they now added "their" meal bars that you can add to your daily menu. Was not able to maintain this diet because once I ate, the thought of not eating again for 24 hours and only having two shakes to look forward to. Best of luck.
