Has anyone ever tried it?? I just bought some the other day. I haven't been eating breakfast the last few days and this has helped to at least get it in. Well I was thinking I would add the one for lunch and try their plan out and see what happens. I had tried it before but was never able to stick on it because I was always so damn hungry but with the aid of phen that is no longer a problem for me. Has anyone ever tried it? Just curious.....Tammy

Hey tammy, yes I do slim fast drinks or bars for breakfast and then for lunch I try to eat the slim fast mac and cheese or the other pasta one they have out (cant remember the name). They are actually pretty good.

Tammy -

I do the slimfast thing...have been for the last three months. But I only use it during the morning and lunch cause I tend to forget to eat. Even if some of the flavors are so dang nasty...it is better to with having food than without. Though you already know that. At least they are easy to care in a book bag or a pocket book. Life on the go...what a trip. I do the WW type dinner as well. Though I do occasionally dip over into other things that I am not supposed to. For me the breakfast bars and snack bars are not better at filling you up than a candy bar. At least with the liquid I feel a little more full and not as ansy to eat something else. HOpe you find a flavor that you like....the royal choclate is absolutely gross...as well as banana and I am to scared to do anymore. I tend to drink the Milk Chocolate one...since I can buy it by the case at Sam's Club. Take care

Don't do slim fast. It taste good, but it has a ton of sugar and carbs in it. Do the Atkins shakes. They taste wonderful, they are made with splenda and they are less carbs. Sam's club sells them by the case. You get 12 for $17.00. They are pricey, but worth it. Sam's Club is about the cheapest I have seen them. Walmart is the next cheapest at $7.88 for only 4 of them. You can also get it in a powder form, but I like it in the cans much better. I have two cases of slimfast and I am getting ready to throw it out because it's not that good for dieting!

Hey Tammy. Slim Fast also has some new bars. One is strawberry shortcake, and another is peanut butter. Only 4 points, very filling and only 79cents. Slim Fast works when you use it for breakfast and lunch. Good Luck. Missus

when i did slimfast i lost alot of weight... i did it for breakfast and I had a 2nd job that i went directly to after my 8-5 job so i would drink another one on the drive because i didnt want to eat at 9 pm when i got out. that, and some other changes, was what made me go from 179 to 149 in 3 months... now here is the gross part that is why i will probably never do it again...

it made my poopies hard... it would HURT to go to the bathroom... i eventually got hemroids from it...so if you try it, just be careful..

If your going to do a meal replacement, don't do slimfast, it's all sugar. I use the Revival Soy shakes with Splenda, and they taste just like nestle quick shakes, and the benefits of soy are immeasurable to any other shake. www. revivalsoy .com
It's the healthiet protein out there, and does wonders for heavy and painful periods.
Good luck,
Michelle
They look expensive, but their not. 1.34 a day

Glad I could help. I wish I knew about this years ago, because my monthly is like a brick hit by stomach. Very painful and lots of clots. Soy, in it's natural form, acts as estrogen replacement or hormone replacement. It's all on their website. Very informative website I might add. Maybe they should pay me to advertise.
Seriously though, it's like no other. I just ordered my first month a couple of weeks ago, and I got a shaker, lots of samples, and my month supply of shakes, and it makes 16oz with the same amount of soy as 6 cups of soy milk in one shake.
160 mg of isoflavones in 1 shake. I was wrong about the daily cost, it's $1.50 a day. Heck, that's one soda.

I really like the milk choclate and the choclate chip cookie dough meal replacement bars (yummy). I know it has more sugar then some of the other choices out there but the key is to create a calorie defict and that is how you loose weight, and so far it is working I am now weighing in at 134 lbs yeahhhhhh, Tammy!
