Slim-fast Diet
SummaryThis is the most popular and successful diet drink weight loss program. Essentially, you replace one or two regular meals with a low calorie Slim-fast product. DescriptionOriginally, Slim-fast was just a shake-like drink that comes in a can. There are various flavors like chocolate and vanilla. More recently, other products have been added, like breakfast bars and smoothies. You lose weight by eating less calories. This is made easy by simply replacing a meal or two with a low-calorie drink or bar. You don't need to count calories (or points). Along with replacing one or two meals, you're also advised to otherwise eat sensible meals. HistoryLiquid diet drinks have a history that goes back to the 1930s. CriticismEating a lot of the same kind of thing, in this case a diet drink or bar, become tedious and boring for many people. Over time, you may tend to rebel against the habit and break the diet.

| Jenna | posted 21-Feb-2011 5:19pm I was just wondering if anyone knew what the difference was between the slim-fast 3 2 1 plan and the slim-fast optima. and what one do you think is better? |
| Melissa | posted 22-Feb-2011 10:28pm Hey Nick, Glad to hear that you are trying your best to stick with it. I find myself getting very lazy on the weekends. And I find myself looking for munchies when I watch TV. My weight went up a little this past week, but overall now, I've lost 11 pounds. I feel like it's going so slow. I think I'm at the point where I have to jump start my workout again. It's like my body is resisting change again. But, I'm determined. I would like to lose another 15 pounds before Spring Break. I only weigh myself once a week. I mostly can tell my weight loss against how my jeans fit. Ok. Now for the big answer..........I was cheering for the Steelers. And you? |
| Anonymous | posted 24-Feb-2011 7:25pm Does slim fast really work ? I need something I can trust and I need to lose weight fast I hav let my self go and don't know what diet I should choose? HELP PLEASE! |
| Nick | posted 28-Feb-2011 10:08am STEELERS ALL THE WAY! Yea, I went completely off the diet. But I am starting back up today. I still never got my scale, but I will weigh myself tonight. I would love to loose 15-20 lbs for summer. I also got engaged in December, and I want to look good for my wedding. No date has been set, but I'm hoping that is a big enough motivation to get my butt in gear! Hey Anonymous - Slim fast works, as long as you work it. Join Melissa & I, and we can all do it together. |
| Melissa | posted 4-Mar-2011 9:41pm Glad to hear that you are back on the diet. I know it gets hard sometimes. Like tonight, for me. I'm hungry. I just want to pig out. And I don't feel like working out. I'm tired. It's been a stressful week for me. My son got hurt at school and had to get stitches, and my daughter got in trouble at school for things that she said on her you tube video. I had wanted to lose 30 pounds before Spring break. It doesn't look like I'm going to make that goal. As of last Monday, I've lost a total of 17 pounds. I feel like it's going so slow. I'm shopping around for a cheap stationary bike now. I think I need to change up my workout a little. I think I'm getting bored with it. Congrats on the engagement! Get a scale. And let's do this thing! |
| Nick | posted 7-Mar-2011 8:29am Thanks!! I know, I did get a scale, and I HATE the number I see! 17lbs lost for you though, THATS AWESOME!!!! And your a mother of 2!!!! Now, I have no excuses. I am a mother of 1 hairy little four legged german shepherd, and I cant find the time to lose weight? GAME ON! I went to Costco and bought a ton of healthy stuff. So, I am excited to get back on the wagon. I have been trying little things, for example, my sisters and I went to Olive Garden for lunch on Saturday. We all got the soup, salad, and breadsticks deal. I didn't eat any breadsticks, which made me feel so much better. So, its litte changes like that I need to stick too as well. I am going to make it a point to walk my dog for atleast 30 mins everyday. I am pumped to begin this, and I hope I meet my goal weight of 140lbs. Only 26lbs to loose! HAHA |
| Melissa | posted 16-Mar-2011 8:52pm Hey Nick!! How's it going? I have had an awful week. I haven't worked out all week. :( I did buy a bike, but I've only been on it twice in the past week. I got real busy with my son. He was having some trouble with his schoolwork. God, I can't wait until Spring Break!! Even though I didn't work out all week, I still lost 1.5 pounds. Which really makes me feel good since I totally pigged out at my friend's baby shower this past Sunday. :) People keep telling me not to get so hung up on the number that you see on the scale. It's more about how you look and feel in your clothes. YEAH RIGHT!!!! Tell that to the 189 I was seeing on my scale back in September!!! And I'm not pregnant, so no excuses!!! So, hopefully, I'm back on track now too. I also recently ate at Olive Garden and did the soup and salad thing. But I think I had 1 breadstick. Couldn't pass them up. They're just too good. What did you buy at Costco? I have one by my house too. I don't shop there too much though. Now that the weather seems to be getter better, I want to walk more too. I can take my dog too. I have a german shepherd too. Half german shepherd and half black lab. Just adorable. Her name is Clara. Keep up the good work! Talk with you soon. |

| hojo | posted 12-May-2011 10:40am Hi, this will be my second time on the slim fast diet. I first I only needed to lose a few pounds and I did. But this time I need to loose about 90 pounds. And I have the skills to do it. My advice to anyone starting the slim fast diet, is to exercise as much as u can. In order to lose a pound u need to work of 3500 calories. And of course you don't need to work that much of every day. The more the better, and I would like to say good luck to everyone and stay strong you can do it.:) |
| Anonymous | posted 31-May-2011 7:37pm I just started today with slim fast, my mom used to do it way back when and I want to get healthy so i decided to try it for myself. For the past month I have been eating healthier and not eating as many calories as I once was. I'm 20 and 188 lbs...not a happy feeling at all. So far I have been doing good, going to start exercising more and hopefully loose about 30 lbs. Good luck to anyone else! |
| Lindsey | posted 4-Jun-2011 8:32pm I have taken the slim fast diet before. It did give me great results, but when I had my two children I did stream away from the shakes. I am a 29 years of age and I have two children been divorced and remarried and I would like to say that really if you change your portion size from a regular plate to a saucer and eat only twice a day you will loose weight. I have struggled with weight my whole entire life going from 336 to 267 pounds, I can garuntee you that once you no longer use the shakes that you will gain the weight back. I dont even excercise and I am looking great. I do need to walk more to tone myself up though. If you eat choclate every day then cut it down to a regular bat one time a week in place of a meal. If you use whole milk then but it to 2 percent. If you use regular cheese cut it down to 2% cheese. Replace soda with a flavored water or sprite, just little changes that really makes a huge difference. I learned when I try to make changes in my diet I needed to make a life style change, or i guarentee you will be bigger than you are now. Try this: all of your fattening things you eat cut it down to one time a week for a starter. Cut out all sodas if you experience a caffine migrane than you need to drink 1/4 cup of yellow soda or coke and it will take it right away.(I did expierence this often, If anyone would like to email me feel free at carloina@live.com) I am so happy that I have made a lifestyle change I had to because my 5 year old was wearing a 7'8 and should have been in a 5 now she is just by mommy changing her habbits I still have a lot to go but I do my part and my body takes care of the rest I only weigh one time a month/ cant be focused on numbers because at the end of the day your body will tell you how you feel/ thats what matters/ you know when your doing great because you feel great/and have more energy......Good Luck to everyone.....you hang in their ti; next time take care of yourself and dont be stresses/ you will loose when you get fed up and tired of being stressed out/ be the best you can be and the rest will follow/. |
| Angela | posted 25-Jun-2011 10:29pm if ur out there "LINDSEY'' u inspired me! now my diet starts today! but i thought ur only suppose to eat 3 times a day not 2..but ill try! thanks a ton! o ya and I have a daughter whos 14 and she wants to take pills,shes 140 and i think she should.Do u think its healthy for her? opinions from any one please! |

| Pyro | posted 8-Jul-2011 4:16am does the powder slim fast taste better then the liquid slim fast or similar?? just wanted to find out before i buy the powder slim fast. |
| Anonymous | posted 9-Jul-2011 12:26am I was wondering I need to lose about 50-60 lbs by Jan. 1st as I am getting married. I need to loose it in a semi-healthy manner. I am starting the slim-fast diet tomorrow morning paired with a 2.4 mile walk/3 times per week. Visiting mom is always fun I say.. Haha. I am a full time college student, have a 5 year old daughter to push me up the hill when I need it, and a husband whose a great cook.. instead of him cooking 7 days a week I could take over 3 days and make healthier meals, but what if I chose to eat a lean cuisine.. would that be bad because of the sodium intake? Any advice is helpful.. I am curious because I don't want to lack nutrients and not lose weight because I am replacing a home cooked meal for a TV dinner.. but studying takes a MAJORITY of my time. |
| Anonymous | posted 9-Jul-2011 12:28am @ Pyro - the already made liquids are good for on the go but I prefer the powder mix because I like mine a bit thicker which it tells you that you can add ice, milk and 1 leveled off thing of powder into a blender.. Don't think the taste is as bad as it is when it's a bit runnier. |
| Snowgoer | posted 3-Aug-2011 11:00am Ok after reading this forum i'm starting this diet on Monday i need to lose 100lbs i have done the low-carb diet and that works very well. But my life has changed i am now divorced and raing my son and it is so hard to do the low-carb diet when your child is a very picky eater! Also it requires alot of time to make and prepare everything and this sounds very easy and convenient!! I would love a buddy to do this with or at least motivate me i hate the way i feel and look and really need to loose the weight!!! i felt so much better when i lost all the weight before! My e-mail is snowgoer2008@yahoo.com |
| elmo | posted 29-Aug-2011 3:01pm Hi Everyone! Just wanted to know if anyone has had success with switching up the meal plan. I was thinking about eating a sensible breakfast and lunch and then having a slim fast shake for dinner. I don't think I will do this long term, but I figure I usually eat the most for dinner and I've tried the shakes in the past so I know it can keep me full. I'm 31 and weigh about 150 so I want to loose about 20 lbs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :) |
| Anonymous | posted 5-Sep-2011 6:57pm I started doing slimfast jan. 24, 2011. In 23 weeks of using it I had lost 18 lbs. I make my shakes in the bullet blender with 1 scoop slimfast, 1 cup non-fat milk, 6 ice cubes and 1/2 of a banana that I would normally have as a snack. Tastes delicious and filling. I also split that shake into 2 even parts to drink at 2 different times so that i feel i'm having more shakes more often...just like they say to eat 6 small meals instead of 3. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables for the evening meal with chicken or fish. bike riding 30 min. twice a day. Worked for me. |
| Agibbs | posted 6-Sep-2011 1:30am Hi all! I have done the slimfast diet before, and I lost over 20 lbs. in 10 weeks. It was a great feeling! Unfortunately I then managed to get totally off track and gained the full 20 lbs back, plus about 10 more. Now, I am in a place where I feel like it is time to do something positive for myself. I need to get to a healthy weight that I am happy with, so starting tomorrow, SLIM FAST!!! I know it works, I have seen the results for myself. I am also going to join a womens only gym tomorrow so that I can get a workout without feeling awkward. Here's to new beginnings! |

| Brandi | posted 18-May-2012 6:05pm 5/18/2012 Hi. Today is my first day on slimfast. It is a friday, but my thought was that if i started on the weekend it would be easier for me. I knew if I started on a Monday, by Friday I would be board or feel like I accomplished something and cheat a little. Then I would cheat again and again till NO MORE DIET. At least this way I have to go the whole weekend and then the week before I even think about cheating. By then I should be used to it and have a little more self control. I am 26 and I just had a baby 5 months ago. I am wanting to lose about 30 lbs to get to healthy size. Right now I am 168 lbs and at 5'4" that is considered overweight. Has anyone ever had any side effects related to the slimfast? I see with all the protien that it could cause constipation? I will try and post my weight weekly on here for everyone to see my progress! Wish me luck! |
