I wonder what the 600 calorie meal consists of. There's a big difference
between 600 cals veggies and 600 cals of fat. Perhaps this is where the
problem is?

Lazy

Help I'm on slimfast and feel tired all the time.

I have one shake for breakfast usually and eat salad or low fat and
low cal food until 6pm where I have a 600kcal meal.

I am feeling really tired all the time and I when I used to over eat I
could stay awake for 15 hours easily.

Now I can only stay awake for 12 hours, I used to sleep not more than
6 or 8 hours a day before the diet.

What I can I do to keep losing weight but not feel so tired all the
time. Sleeping is not the answer because I can't cut my hours down and
I can't sleep for 12 hours because that is bad.

Eat a better diet! Slimfast works, but it's just so much junk food -
and you can't live on it indefinitely. You would do much better to work
out an eating plan that you can follow indefinitely, allowing for the
occasional blow-out, holidays, visits to parents, etc. Your excess
weight didn't go on in a hurry, and it won't come off that way, either.
Aim to lose no more than 2 lb/week - a weight loss of as little as 8 oz
is fine (after all, after a year you will have lost 26 lbs).
