Slim-Fast? - Weight Loss Message Board

StrokerStangGirl56 · 07-09-2003, 09:53 PM

First I want to say hi to everybody. I've been looking at health boards for a couple of years now, and all of your knowledge has answered so many of my questions.

So has anyone tried the slim fast diet? I went and bought some double chocolate "royale" (aka crap in a can). I only want to drop about 10 lbs. I'm really bad at starting a diet and sticking with it, as are many of you I'm sure.
If anyone has tried it, what results did you get? I'd replace a meal with a shake, but which meal is best to replace?

You're input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Elisa

I did slim fast last summer. It takes my body 2 weeks to start losing with anything it seems. I did lose about 10 lbs with that, but it was hard and got very hungry around 3-4pm. I had a small brkfst and slimfast for lunch with a fruit/veggie or the meal bars are good too, with a regular dinner. Unfortunately I gained it all back when the stress hit. So, now I am just trying the old fashioned better eating habbits and exercize. With the slimfast I also had a few snacks during the day to tide me over (veggies/crackers or something). Hope that helps

Slim fast never worked for me. I wasn't on it very long, but those bars and drinks are just all carbs which you know are the enemy. I think maybe something like those carb advantage bars or protein bars would work better. But I think all of them will leave you feeling hungry no matter what. It sucks!

I started it today, and I was HUNGRY all day long. It's miserable to be hungry. I think I'm going to try that zantrex3.

Thanks girls!

Did the SF thang. Lost a little weight. Came right back, + some.

I much prefer to chew my food. For breakfast today, I had 1/2 cup cottage cheese, mixed with 1/2 cup Kashi GoLean Crunch, and an eggbeaters omelet for the same calories in one measly can that leaves me starving 15 min later.

So while it is a short term fix, eventually every single "diet" known to man comes down to "eat less, move more".
