I don't drink them regularly....but lately its all I have time for and I will NOT eat fast food!! and no money for restraunts etc..

so... my question is

Are slimfast shakes what they are cracked up to be really?

plus, they don't make me full, so what do I do if I'm still hungry after I drink one??

...opinions are appreciated!
 
No. They contain HFCS or sugar and lots of it.

A good home made shake:

1 cp ff plain yogurt.
1/2 cp 1-2% cottage cheese.
1/2 cp skim milk
1 tbsp nat pb.
1 pkt ff sugar free hot cocoa mix.

Optional: 1/2 scp whey.
 
If they don't leave you satisfied then that says something. I'd rather see you eat something else that is healthier, has less sugars and is just as portable. :)
 
I bought 2 cases of slim fast shakes when I first started paying attention to what I was eating everyday. I'm keeping a 40/40/20-protein/carb/fat ratio everyday so I found it hard to fit in a slim fast shake due to all the sugar/carbs. However, I do know what you mean about not having enough time and having to eat something on the fly. I don't think they are terrible for you as long as you realize that they do have a lot of sugar and you balance it out with protein. Also, be sure to only drink them once in a while. Not every day. I
think of it as more of a treat than anything.

The first three ingredients in Slim Fast are corn syrup, sucrose, and corn maltodextrin (aka sugar, sugar, and sugar). I wouldn't feed it to my dog.
 
I don't know your menu or workout routine or weight or height or age or body fat % or goals... :D

So I do not know if you should eat something instead of drink something or if drinking something is fine for you at that time of day. Can you eat something instead of drinking?

I mean a fat free Starbucks latte is better than the Slim Fast shake. A glass of Green or White Iced Tea is even better than a fat free latte. Water is good too!

Heck, most protein shakes are better than Slim Fast. That's quick and portable.
