The Slim.Fast Diet

The Slim.Fast Diet
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

Slim.Fast has helped thousands of women lose weight over the past three decades. The plan encourages healthy and steady weight loss that has long-term results.

What is it?

Slim.Fast is a meal replacement plan that allows you to eat up to six times a day. Its most famous products are the milkshake-style drinks that you have instead of breakfast and lunch. Slim.Fast claim you can lose up to 7lb during the first week and a steady 1lb a week after that.

How does it work?

The Slim.Fast plan is simple and easy to follow. You replace breakfast and lunch with a Slim.Fast meal replacement and eat a healthy 600-calorie meal in the evening.
You can also have three 100 calorie snacks throughout the day, for example fruit, a yogurt or a Slim.Fast snack bar. Each Slim.Fast meal is nutritionally balanced so you don't have to take additional vitamin supplements, unlike many diets.

Before I tried Slim Fast I was convinced it wouldn't be filling, or that I'd suffer from a blood-sugar crash mid-afternoon. I bought a bottle and tried it and was amazed that it worked! I'm now following the plan (although not too strictly) and have lost five pounds in two and a half weeks!

I've been following the slim fast plan for about 10 weeks now and have lost a stone (from 11 down to 10). I don't have any of the snacks and drink only water or the occasional options 35 calorie hot chocolate. I only drink alcohol at weekends. Obviously if I go back to eating normally I will put the weight back on so I plan to stick with it. I eat a good, big meal in the evenings, normally more than the 600 cals suggested but I feel I've earnt it by then!! The ready made milkshakes are nice and the smoothies are also yummy. The stuff you mix yourself is ok but the chocolate one smells and tastes like dog food. Also, it's really sweet so I tend to have more skimmed milk than they suggest (300mls as opposed to 250) and only one scoop of powder. And it tastes nicer.... to me anyway. Hope this is helpful to someone!! Good luck.

Dear slim fast,my comments to your product is a full compliment to your formula and in no way you must misinterpretate what im about to say;weight training used to be my sport but for 3 years I had a problem with depression and my bodyweight fell to 7 and a half stone but in the new year I came back to weight training and your slim fast product has helped me put 3 stone back onto my body the way I planned it was through doing the oppisite of your directions on the tin instead of having slim fast as a meal I had it with a meal twice daily.Im on four meals a day and my body is not putting fat on but im producing muscle mass once again.The other directions on the tin says to mix it with skimmed milk but Ive been mixing it with full fat milk so what im saying is a very big thankyou for your product.

I have just been reading some of the comments and although they say that your ment to keep the weight off with SLIM FAST it was not like that for myself. I lost almost 5 stone with SLIM FAST but put it straight back on when i stopped taking it.
