Will slim fast be effective if you just drink 1 can a week?

Question

and exercise
by running 45 mins 5 times a week?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

The running is better for loosing weight than 1 a week on the slim fast, at 1 a week it's like a nutritional supplement and if you eat normally you will probably gain weight. Run as you are and drink a slim fast instead of a meal daily.

Answer 3

slim fast is a liquid meal. make sure you drink plenty of other liquids like water daily:

You will not starve. You will not instantly become thin. Fasting is consuming only liquids. When the body does not have to deal with digesting solid food and getting rid of the waste that solid food creates, it can concentrate on getting rid of toxins. The most common reason to fast is to eliminate disease or from the body.



How much weight will I lose?

The main benefit offered by a fast, to those who wish to lose weight, is the speed of the weight loss. To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more dedicated in relationships and more at peace.

Initially, weight loss can be as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound-per-day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism is the slower the weight loss.

Try to stay focused on the healthy things you are doing to improve your life rather than being consumed with the number of pounds lost each day. Water retention can vary your weight five pounds so watching the scale can be frustrating. The best motivation to fast is for physical and spiritual health. Be patient; the fasting process is slow. Be thankful the toxins are leaving your body. Do not have unrealistic expectations. Give your body the time it needs to do the work of cleansing.

Fasting And Metabolism

The fear is that while fasting, the metabolism will slow down and afterward there will be more weight gained than before the fast. Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the BMR or base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase metabolic performance and energy output. In other words, you will eat less and feel more energetic.

After fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients. The good news is that greater efficiency equals enhanced energy. Healthy people burn more calories. They also eat less because they are more active and feel better about themselves. They don't need food as a security blanket.

The greatest impact you can have on increasing your resting metabolism is exercise. After a workout, you can be sitting on the couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles are grabbing glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw food provides fewer, low-density calories, and higher-fiber, more-filling foods.

Oh, by the way, a slower metabolism diminishes aging. A tortoise can live to 400 hundred years of age.

Answer 4

Slim fast is just meant to replace meals. They have more nutrients. So all you would be doing is adding extra nutrients once a week. You are not going to lose a bunch of weight that way, but you should if you exercise. All I can say is it would be better to replace one meal per day with those drinks and then keep up the exercise!

Answer 5

slim fast is considered a meal replacement. My husband drinks a can a day for the vitamins, and breakfast replacement.
he doesn't need to loose any weight.
some people get constipated using slim fast.
I do know that it has a very high sodium content, so you shouldn't drink it if you have high blood pressure.
water and exercise is your best bet..
Look at it like this: if it cost $2.00 a can, 1 can per day.
that is 60 bucks a month you could use for "curves" (29.00 a month) or a local YMCA/gym.

Answer 6

The running will be far more effective than the Slim Fast.

Answer 7

The Slim Fast won't help, but the running will. Try Ensure instead, so you are sure to get enough nutrients with your new exercise plan.

Answer 8

well i don't see why not...just don't have ONLY a can a day... eat sensible meals...like broiled fish. skinless chicken... but I suggest doing the slim fast plan...its right on the box of slim fast shakes....

i,myself, went on the slim fast diet and followed the plan...and cheated once in a while.. and i lost 20 pounds in one month it was awesome and boy do i feel great today...

there are so many ways to loose weight... experiment a little

Answer 9

No, but maybe having 1 can every day instead of lunch or breakfast. something that would work even better is having a granola bar and a can instead of breakfast, and then running foor 45 minutes later in the day. That would help you lose fat and be overall healthier and better feeling.

Answer 10

well if you just drink 1 a week and eat nothing else then yes but if you mean 1 a week and eating normal the rest then no cause it can sometimes contain more calories than a good healthy meal .

Answer 11

Take it from an ACE certified personal trainer, Slimfast has too much sugar, and not enough quality protein. There is nothing wrong with meal replacements, however look for better options such as Myoplex from EAS.
