The Slim Fast Plan

Beaver, It sounds like a plan that will work right away. I'd rather have real food thou. You'll do great.

I'm missing it....cokie dough bar sounds good right about now. I also liked blending strawberrry shakes with banana.
 
Optima shakes, can

I've drank SlimFast in the past and couldn't stomach it. Now that there is Optima and less sugar it tastes so much better. Especially if it's really cold. I have to drink it with a straw as well. Makes it taste better. Strange I know. I have some quirks about me.

I started SlimFast over the summer. I followed their plan and drank plenty of water and started walking. I lost weight! I really did. I was surprised. With that I got some motivation to keep it up. Then winter came and I quit the SlimFast and gained weight back. Only because I stopped exercising and stopped eating right. Not because I went off SlimFast, alone.

So, I am trying to find the motivation to start doing something again. I can't seem to stop eating chocolate chip pancakes. They are addicting! I have no willpower.:(
 

If you can do the slim fast way to go! MY mom lost 25 lbs after her baby when she went on it. Unfortunately I can't handle all the milk with the shakes and I'm not much of a bar eater but everyone else go for it!
I wish you all the best of luck!!!!!
Don't give up!
 
I just started it yesterday. About two years ago I did it for a month and lost about 12 pounds. I went on vacation and then it all went down hill from there. I have to get serious about losing weight and the weight watchers thing just seemed like too much work for me. So I'm attempting this again. Hopefully it will atleast get me used to not eating huge portions and that sort of thing and then I'll go into just counting calories or something else. I am also a VERY picky eater. So diets are hard for me to find things I like that are good. I can stomach the shakes so there is two meals I don't have to try and find something healthy to eat.
 
Good Luck with the slimfast. I did it a long time ago and it didnt work for me. The shakes were so good I didnt feel like I was on a diet and ate cookies with the shake like a snack, lol. Lot's of people do loose though, I'm just a pig,lol. Keep us posted.
PS- I loved the vanilla:D
 
I like the cans.... have never tried the powdered mix... I am not on the SF diet but we have them at the office for when we dont have anything else or if we just want something quick or lighter.... pretty handy stuff.....
 
lose weight fast

I lost 18 pounds in one month through my exercise plan and the supplements that I take. They help me burn fat and it gives my energy to keep going through the day.

What kind of supplements might those be????? :eek:
 
Sarah, seriously, save your money, and future dissapointment. Think about it? Are you going to drink slim fast for the rest of your life IF you hit your goal weight? Doubtful, That stuff is a scam and its just another way of doing what you should be doing.

Start limiting your calories to 1200-1500 a day and get in an hour of exercise a night. simple as that.
 
i never found slim fast as filling as they claim. I could always put together something with the same calories that tasted better......
 
I LOVE the shakes (Kroger off brand - Slim-rite try the Chocolate Royal) I think they're great. I noticed someone had put that they tend to cause constipation.. the first time I used them, it was the total oposite of that.. I stopped dieting there for a while (got lazy) and just started again and they're not doing anything to me this time around.. no idea why but I am NOT complaining lol Good Luck!
 
If you get in the mood to try something else, Spiru-tein (sp?) makes a great chocolate-peanut butter shake. Less sugar and has soy, and you can mix it with ice and water and IMO it tastes a lot better than slim fast.
 
I use slim fast as a kick start, not a long term plan. I'll do all the "right things" for awhile shed some pounds and then get to the dreaded plateau were it seems you just can't loose another ounce. When I get there I'll go on a very strict slim fast diet for one week. 1 shake for breakfast a meal replacement bar for lunch and then a diet dinner for supper, and one or 2 of their snack bars when I feel hungry. That plus an hour or so on the elliptical trainer per day (after the cal's I've burned subtracted from the cal's I've eaten it equals about 500 for the day) I know that's really low and bad bad bad on a long term basis but when I do it for one week when I'm stuck I drop about 4-7lbs and then go right back to doing things the right way. Balanced diet and exercise and it really helps me get going again.

Just my 2 cents :)
 
keep in mind fast weight loss is nice, but healthy weight loos is around 10 - 12 lbs a month. Loosing quicker than that can be dangerious to your body.. I have heard of cases where instead of burning fat the body was starving the muscles and it did much harm.

Just be careful all, and happy dieting :)

P.S. Going beneith 1000 calories a day is just not good peoples! Dieting is not about not eating... or eating little.. its about eating right!
