anyone here do the whole "Slimfast" diet thing. I was thinking about trying it for like a month, just to see if it could help me w/ my portion control problems... plus to loose the 5lbs i gained during midterms :eek4:

just wonderin if anyone has had any experience w/ it

My mom is on it. She drinks the shakes and the smoothies for breakfast and lunch. I think she said she's lost about 5 lbs.

I know they have some good snack bars though.

The shakes are really good. I have the strawberry one quite often.

I like them. I have a bunch of SlimFast shakes and meal bars in the pantry, but I dont use it like youre supposed to- otherwise Id get bored with it. I use them though when I need a lunch for work and Im in a rush in the morning. Theyre really good too and do help you portion control.

Sure they work. Everything works if you stick to it. But after a while you will get sick of it... and if you get OFF the diet, you'll probably end up gaining most of the weight back anyway. (Plus MORE, sometimes! :eek:)

But there ARE some people who will stay on this diet and do very well with it. ;)

that make sense

Unless you are using the new low carb ones they are crap, you might as well drink soda it's got more sugar in it than that. I think the low carb ones have like 2 grams of sugar. They taste like crap too. Try the Atkins shakes they are good and only 1 gram of sugar. I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks on those a couple years ago.

I dunno what kind i bought... let me look... Milk Chocolate Optima.. it says 45% less sugar... it's got 6grams of sugar, 4 grams of carb... 18 grams of carb... and of course that all goes up some when I had the Skim milk

how encouraging...

I was merely informing you of the cons of Slimfast, with a dash of pro at the end. Why is that so bad?
