Slimfast diet success
Anyone here had success with the Slimfast diet? I joined their site. Did
a meal plan for 1500 calories a day (their recommended amount for my weight). I intend on doing my regular exercise routine. Heading out to the store tomorrow to by shakes and bars (but I'm opting for low carb bars as I like their taste better), and to stock up on baby carrots, veggies, salad stuff and a few lean cruisines. Any tips for getting the most success out of it? |

Any tips for getting the most success out of it? I had a friend who lost a lot of weight using SF and Frozen diet dinners with fruit in between. On Sunday she ate normal meals. I don't mean she pigged out, just ate cooked food instead of the drinks and frozen dinners. The last time I saw her she was still thin.

Slimfast diet success
Do you plan to do this the rest of your life? Are you just trying to lose a
few pounds and then go back to your regular eating habits? It seems a waste of time and money unless you have a plan to stick to from now on. "Angie" wrote in message ...

Any tips for getting the most success out of it? I doubt many in this group, if any, have tried the SlimFast diet to lose weight. Most have adopted a reduced calorie diet consisting of regular food they intend to eat the rest of their lives. In addition to the reduced calorie diet we've added some type of regular exercise to our program. I'm not saying it can't be done on SlimFast but it's not the best choice available. Many people on this type of diet regain everything they've lost when they return to regular eating since they never learned to eat properly. Are you preparing for the return to regular eating and are you including exercise? |

She has since had two more children and got right back down to her desired weight - using SF. She exercises every day and says that's her main reason for success. -- the volleyballchick |

Angie - exercise is a must for this diet and it will work. Just a short-term diet though |

Slimfast diet success
I'd use protein power rather than their
bars and shakes. See my post to your other thread. Like any other plan that you don't develop completely on your own, after awhile you'll start to develop doubts--especially when the first stall hits. Before that happens and you give up, learn enough about yourself, nutrition, supplementation and exercise so that you can develop your own plan. Then, when stalls hit, you'll know how to make adjustments or stay the course rather than doubt the plan and give up. -- Angie wrote: Anyone here had success with the Slimfast diet?

Maybe instead of you being so judgmental, you could try to be helpful. But no, your history with me is to always judge me and make snide comments to me. Perhaps I am just trying to see what might work best for me. I don't see anything wrong in asking questions and then figuring out for myself what might work best FOR ME. |

My goal RIGHT NOW is to get weight off the fastest way possible because of some physical and medical ailments I have. Then I will worry about contining to lose weight, and keeping the weight off long term. I need help right now and fast. |
