To me slim fast is a quick way to lose your weight with out thinking about it. Also many people do not realize that it is very high in sugar and cause major health problems down the road for you if there is a chance of diabetes in your family.
I would if I were you go with a program that helps you learn the proper way to eat say like weight watchers or get some good books on the subject. I like the book that is called “Diets don’t work” or “diets still don’t work” by Bob Schwartz he has a great line of books that you just don’t read but they are work books too. They helped me lose a little over 200 lbs 20 years ago.
With slim fast it also puts you on a very low cal base too. If you are living in bed and not moving you will lose weight with them. Here is the down side most people gain there weight back and then some because they slow down there metabolism so much while on the diet. Look for a program you can stick to for life is you best bet. Because it should never be a diet to you but a life change it is the only way you will lose the weight and keep it off. A diet (at least to me) is a temp thing and you go back to your old ways of eating after it is over. Believe it or not losing the weight is the easy part of all this keeping it off is the trick you need to master. If you don’t you will set your self up to fail before you even begin.

i used to take slim fast but it can give you diarrhea, plus, at least for me, I was starving when I used slim fast. I recomend you eat your starchy and sugary foods early as then you give your body a chance to use that energy instead of eating it at dinner and going to bed maybe three hours later. Also, stay ways from anything fried, and fast food, deserts, etc..., eat a ton of lean meats, which is chicken, turkey, fish, and some pork...don’t eat too much red meat, stay away from fatty meats like sausage and salami. Also, try to eat 5-8 smaller meals a day rather than 3 normal sized meals. When you eat more, but smaller meals, it keeps doesn't shock your system like when you eat a big meal, so your metabolism works much better. Lastly, drink only water. I drink 12 bottles a day, it is hard but soda and all that has empty calories and sugar which turns into fat when it is digested. Even diet soda is bad because your body is expecting something from the calories coming in, however they are empty calories with no nutrition and in effect make you hungrier. As far as money, it isnt bad because one meal will be a couple pieces of fruit, one meal can be a handful of dry roasted peanuts with a yougurt, etc... As far as water, you dont need to buy bottles, so water is cheaper than anyhting. Good luck with your weight loss.

Slim Fast is garbage, nothing more than sugar water with a tiny bit of protein added in. Sugar is the 2nd largest ingredient in the regular Slim Fast drink products...

slim fast does not work. In a head to head trial against the leading health shake UltraMeal. Slim fast was proven to make people lose muscle instead of fat. People who drank UltraMeal lost fat and gained muscle. Proven fact.
