I'm disappointed that slim fast has trans fatty acids in their products! - Weight Loss Message Board

Hi, I'm an avid slim fast user and happened to look on the label of their peanut butter crunch snack bars and to my suprise, I seen partially hydrogenated oils. I think that means trans fats, doesn't it?

That's what it means, yep.

I am a really avid label reader.I must have read the label of every pkt of butter spread etc to find one for my family without hydrogenated oils. Now I discover slimfast is full of them. I,m starting to think that by losing a couple of stone on slimfast might actually be more harmful to me than if I remain at this weight yet eat healthily.
Slimfast is working for me but all i am eating is sugar, hydrogenated oils and a vitamin pill when you think about it. I was amazed by the energy it gave me. It wasn't energy maybe, just sugar rush.
Now I'm more confused than ever
