It worked for me!!!
by: "H"

I tried slim fast and it worked for me. After about five months I lost about 50 lbs, that was seven years ago and I only gained back about 10 lbs since that time.

I'm back on the shakes and have lost 4 lbs in about a week or so.

My thing is this, people don't follow the directions of the plan. You aren't supposed to drink a shake with fries, a burger, a sandwich, some cookies, etc...

When you cut back on calories the natural reaction is to be hungry, very hungry but that's something that you have to get used to.

I followed the plan which at the time was 1 shake for breakfast, 1 for lunch and a SENSIBLE dinner in which mine consisted of a salad, 6 oz boneless chicken breast, mixed vegetables and a small baked potato. I would alternate the chicken for the same sized portion of either a lean butterflied pork chop or tilapia fillet, sometimes a steak but not often (grilled or pan seared in about a tsp of vegetable oil) and plenty of water. Slim Fast shakes did not fill me up nor did I expect them to; you are not going to get full from drinking a shake. I think of it as a multi vitamin in a can.

I think that if people really want to loose weight then they have to stop with the excuses like headache, I'm not full, etc. I didn't get any gas or headaches from the shakes but after I got used to the hungry feeling it actually began to feel good, definitely better than being stuffed and miserable from when I used to over eat.

I added just cardio as exercise and the weight seemed to fall off once I really got into it. I think that we just have to find what works for us in the end as well as a reason to loose weight. I found what worked for me, it's not an easy diet but it can lead to a lifestyle change which is what it's all about anyway....
