Are slimfast shakes a good "on the go" breakfast?

Question

I've noticed they are packed with alot of good stuff, and was wondering if they'd be a good substitute every once in awhile....

Answer 1

anything that gets your metabolism going in the start of the day is good - it will make sure that your energy levels are steady

as such, even something that doesn't have as much "good stuff" as your shakes can set your metabolism for the day

carnation instant breakfast is another drink made with a lot of "good stuff" that is substituted for breakfasts all across the country - and there's no solid food in that. just milk and powder.

i like to give my stomach a treat though. something to gnaw on for a bit. like a hamburger.

Answer 2

I use them, but I use the optima which has 10 grams of protein. Protein seems to make you feel full longer. I have a mid morning snack consisting of an orange or apple then lunch. They make good snack foods you really should break away from the 3 square meals and move towards 5-8 smaller meals. You'll never over eat and you'll feel full throughout the whole day.

Answer 3

I use to do Slimfast, but it's more like drinking a glass of water. I started buying Genisoy (because it's a little thicker). One scoop of that stuff plus 8 oz. of milk. It's pretty filling and you can put it in a travel cup for "on the go" (obviously!). There are lots of protein shakes other than Genisoy, but tastewise it's my favorite.

Answer 4

They are a good substitute for a meal. They never filled me up, I would be starving by lunch and seemed to eat more.

Answer 5

its probally better if you make your own .those to are both nasty. but for fast try the carnation breakfast drink.they taste better.

Answer 6

no artificial "food" is good,trust me
