Slim Fast 100 Calorie Chocolate Mint Bars Taste Terrific!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

After trying the Slim Fast Peanut Butter Crunch Time Bar and absolutely loving it, I was eager to try another flavor of my new favorite low-calorie snack. Since I'm a mint chocolate freak, it was a no-brainer for me to buy a box of the 100 Calorie Chocolate Mint bars.

They were surprisingly affordable at only $3.99 for a box of six at my local grocery store. I can't purchase six candy bars for that price. Slim Fast often circulates coupons for their products so I'm keeping my eyes open for those, which will make this an even better deal in the future.

If you like the taste of chocolate mint, then this bar is for you. The outside is covered in tasty chocolate with a mint drizzle, and th...

Slimfast tastes great but doesn't help me lose weight

I have done the Slimfast weight loss diet several times in my life.  I believe the total pounds that I've lost has been about ten.  And that's all my weight loss attempts combined over the past twenty years.

Slimfast has vastly improved over the years.  Remember when it was just powder that you mixed with skim milk?  Well, know the Slimfast shakes come in delicious flavors that are premixed for your convenience.  And it REALLY does make it easier to stay on the diet.  Just pull one out of the fridge and drink.  They honestly DO fill you up and help with hunger.  But they don't make you lose weight.

The reason that I believe I don't lose weight ...

Slim Fast drinks and bars are handy when you don't have time to pack a meal, but they are not filling. If you  have a big appetite, you will probably not find Slim Fast products satiating. The labels recommend supplementing the drink or bar with a tossed salad and diet salad dressing. I highly recommend this. You could even supplement with a high fiber bar like Metamucil and drink plenty of water to help fill you up. Also add a high fiber fruit like an apple with skin on. The Slim Fast products come in a variety of different flavors, so you should be able to find one that you will like. The Slim Fast products are more of a convenience food item rather than a permanent meal solution unless you are satisfied with just having a drink or a bar for your meal. The Slim Fast products do come in handy when you are pressed for time, and have to eat a meal really fast. It is a good idea to keep them on hand at work for times like these.

Convenient & easy - no planning involved.

When it comes to dieting, I have a tendency to overthink things: I love an involved meal plan revolving around "superfoods" and complicated cooking. For some reason, it seems like hard work should result in faster weight loss. Unfortunately, undue complications also mean I lose my willpower much more quickly: a couple of nights of working late, or a morning stop at Starbucks, can quickly destroy the precarious caloric balance of my diet. 

Enter Slim-Fast. Slim-Fast is the diet for when I don't want to think, I don't want to plan, I just want to lose a few pounds with minimal effort. That's not to say Slim-Fast is completely easy (after a while, a diet of shakes and bars can feel restri...

LOVE Slim Fast-Especially the ready to drink shakes

LOVE Slim Fast-Especially the ready to drink shakes. I am not a breakfast person so usually skip it...but with the ready to drink shakes--i just grab one out of the refrigerator and drink it on the way to take kids to school and work. Does fill me up until my lunch break. My favorite flavor of the shakes is the milk chocolate or the chocolate royale. I like how slimfast doesn't have the chalky taste like some of the other brands i've tried. I have recently tried the slim fast snack bars. Those are good also. Easy to take along in your purse or leave at work in your desk drawer for when you have a craving for a snack--beats going to the vending machine for something that isn't good for you. S...

I like all of the Slim Fast products and feel they are not a promise of miracles, but rather a sensible way to lose weight. I do use the shakes and the bars. But be careful, the bars taste too good, so you will be tempted to eat the whole box in one day. The bars do carry a warning on the box, excessive use will cause them to act as a laxative !!!

Of course, I have noticed the snack bars have shrunk a little, downsizing I guess, but now if only  my weight would shrink too, I would be a happy consumer. Slim -Fast has been around many years and is not a new gimmick. The company does not promise that if you use the product you will suddenly look like a model without ay effort or sacrifice...

SlimFast is a quick breakfast solution

Overall

Rated 3 out of 5

My day is set it stone, and I can tell you now that I don't have much extra time. In the morning, I have exactly 2 minutes to grab my shoes and head out the door. At 7 AM, I can't just skip breakfast. I've learned that if I skip breakfast, I'll snack like crazy until I feel full, skip lunch as a result, and snack the afternoon away.

First I tried oatmeal at work - it was nice for the first 3 months, but after that it just gets old. I needed something new, and powder SlimFast seemed to work. Plus it's really made me conscious of what goes INTO my body and how my body uses it.

As a breakfast, Slimfast is really fun. It's a nice alternative to those of us who...shall we say...don't like...

I love Slimfast. I had quite a bit of weight to lose and had tried everything!! I couldn't seem to stick to anything, since it usually involved cutting out food groups or counting carbs/calories. I have to admit, I'm lazy. So, when I found Slimfast, I thought I'd give it a try. It couldn't hurt. All I did was have a shake for breakfast, another shake for lunch and a regular dinner. At first, it was hard. Even though the chocolate Slimfast shake was good, I was hungry!! After about a week, it became a lot easier. I lost 22 pounds in the first month and a half. It was so simple. I grabbed a shake out of the fridge twice a day and ate pretty much whatever I wanted for dinner. The plan recommends a sensible dinner, but I didn't go too strict on it. It was great!!! All told, I lost 57 pounds and kept it off. I would recommend Slimfast to anyone. It comes in great flavors, is very easy and really works!!!

I've liked them all.  I've had diet shakes in cans, in all flavors, and in many brands.  BUT... I prefer **SLIM-FAST 3-2-1 Plan Powder Shake Mix **with its 14 servings in one 12.83-ounce canister because:

1) **SLIM-FAST ** helps keep my weight steady or better.

2) I love to drink breakfast.

3) This powder's a breeze to whip up with eight ounces of non-fat milk.

4) Tossing one, mostly-paper canister's a lot greener than recycling 14 steel cans.

5) I get a good deal on it with *Amazon's *"Subscribe and Save" Service.

Slim Fast worked for me, and I know it can work for you too!

When my daughter was three I weighed nearly two hundred pounds. I started Slim Fast and the weight just melted away. I loved the powdered shake mix which I added to cold skim milk. I would give it a good mxing with a whisk and would drink it slowly, and it left me satisfied.

I had a shake for breakfast and another for lunch time. Then I would eat a balanced dinner.

The shakes are only 200 calories each and are so rich and full of flavor. Two shakes equaled 400 calories and that left me 800 for a nice dinner.

My flavor of choice is the milk chocolate, but there are several others you can try as well. I had no shortage of energy while using Slim Fast and was so excited by the weight loss that I think I could have been a spokesman for the company.

I finished up my diet at 115 pounds! Plus, I kept the weight off too.

What are you waiting for?!

For many many years I have struggled with my weight.  I gained weight with both my pregnancies and just never got around to losing the weight.  I would keep putting it off, putting it off, putting it off.

I couldn't button my jeans one day and had finally had ENOUGH.  I had seen many Slim-Fast commercials and decided it was worth a shot.  First I tried the shakes, but I am not much for drinking my meals.  I just wasn't satisfied with those.  The taste was fine, it was just the "not eating" thing I couldn't get past.  I moved on to the meal replacement bars.  I instantly fell in love.  I had to teach my body to eat completely differently.  Th...

I have been on the Slim Fast Ultra diet for 6 months & have lost 38 lbs. I found it easy to follow & good value for the money.When I first began the Slim Fast Ultra plan, I tried the ready to drink shakes but found it more cost efficient to purchase the powdered version & add it to fat free milk. The cookie dough meal bars are my favorite but would also recommend the brownie variety. For the in between meal snacks I enjoy the nut bars the most.

At first it was difficult to find the willpower necessary to stick to this diet. I had to adjust my thinking to replace the donuts, sugary jams for my toast in the morning & instead of possibly a candy bar in the mid-afternoon, I would either ch...

My husband and I decided to give the slim fast diet a try when we both wanted to loose a little weight. We needed to pick a diet that we thought that we could both do together and stick with. I found that the slim fast diet turned out to be a little bit more pricey than I exspected and a little bit harder to stick with than I exspected. I really liked most of the shakes that you drink for breakfast. I thought that they were full of flavor and with the texture of them being a little on the thick side it felt like you were really drinking something you should not of been. We liked most of the snack bars but did not care for as many of the meal replacement bars. They were not enough too keep yo...

Good for a quick fix- not a long term solution

I like the SlimFast meal bars as a quick on the go meal when I am not particulary hungry, or don't have time to microwave a diet meal.  I prefer the chocolate chip cookie dough meal bar.  I think it is easy to eat, not too fake tasting.  It does leave me full and not looking for anything else to eat for at least two hours or so.  It does leave a kind of waxy aftertaste but what can you expect from fake chocolate?  I don't think anyone could follow the plan of eating two a day for very long though.  It just is not very realistic to expect someone to give up their breakfast and lunch every day for one measly five inch long fake chocolate bar.  That said, I probably will continue to purchase about a box a month for quick lunches to try to keep me somewhat on track.

I know slimfast is marketed as a diet tool but I actually find it a versatile backup to have in the fridge. I take a lot of pills and are not supposed to take them on an empty stomach. So when I don't feel like cooking dinner I'll grab a can and that lines my stomach enough. 

For women with morning sickness, a friend found the cans really helpful to have around. Not only could she sip a little at a time, if she was sick again, well it's just liquid so its not too bad. I've used it when I've been ill and can't face anything solid either but it does pep me up a bit. I use the rich chocolate flavor ones as its a bit like chocolate milk and not medicinal at all. Just make sure its thoroughly chilled, and shaken
