Let me start by saying I started this at 132 lbs, and am usually about 115. I had a baby 2 years ago, and just never lost my baby weight. I have been on this diet for a little over two weeks, and have lost 8.3 lbs. I never thought I would lost this weight, this fast. I go by the cycle diagram they show, 2 shakes for breakfast and lunch, a healthy 500 calorie dinner l, and 3 100 calorie snacks. I drink only water and 0 calorie beverages( unsweetened tea, and ICE drinks). I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to lose weight, and have dedication! I saw that first 2 lbs lost and I was hooked!

I started the Slim Fast diet two weeks ago and so far, it's been going great. I drink a ready-made shake for breakfast and lunch and have a regular dinner. So far, I've lost 8 pounds and my goal is to lose 20. The shakes are delicious; they taste like flavored milk. It was a little hard to replace two meals a day with liquids at first, but I'm used to it now and will stick with it. This is an easy and inexpensive way to lose weight.

I really like Slimfast, especially the chocolate flavor. even though it is a weight loss product , you would never know it because it tastes so good. it has a thick creamy texture much like a milkshake and is packed with vitamins and minerals to keep you healthy and feeling your best. You are supposed to drink two a day, one for breakfast and one for lunch and then have a sensible dinner. The Slimfast plan does work if you follow it. The Slimfast shake comes in many other flavors besides chocolate and they are all good but I don't care for the vanilla one much. They are filling and keep you satisfied so you are not hungry after using this to substitue for a meal. I would recommend this to anyone trying to lose weight and even those who are not as it is still packed with nutrients and a healthy drink. I like the Slimfast plan and it does help you lose weight. Effectiveness Very effective if you follow the plan. Side Effects none Ease of Use Simple to use

I was sucked into the Slim Fast trap multiple times before I started REALLY getting educated on how foods affect our bodies. I would lose a couple pounds with the severe calorie restriction that comes with the Slim Fast Plan -- but would gain it all back when I went back to normal foods. And by normal foods I'm not talking hamburgers, twinkies and soda -- I usually eat a lot of fruits, veggies, dairy and a good bit of healthy carbs (whole wheat, multi-grain, etc) with only a limited amount of meat. Restricting myself to one or two low-calorie meals and extremely sugar-laden shakes or candy bars -- because really, that's EXACTLY what Slim Fast products are -- was more detrimental to my health and weight than if I hadn't tried to diet at all! It wasn't filling, it wasn't really that tasty, the "meal bars" are tough and fairly tasteless -- I don't know why I put myself through it once let alone multiple times! Effectiveness Lose 5, gain 10 -- doesn't sound effective to me! Side Effects Sugar highs and lows, hunger from restriction. Ease of Use Shakes and candy bars are "Easy", dealing with life while on them is not!

Slimfast has been around for many years and that is amazing to me. When a company has stayed around as long as it has that tells me that it is good. I have use Slimfast on and off for many years and I love how it helps keep the pounds off. This is the only way to stay healthy and diet, the shakes have all the vitamins and nutrients needed. I love that they offer many assorted flavors and the snack bars are delicious. The only thing that I do recommend is to not try to do just the shakes and always supplement with fruits or salads. If you can do this you will see progress in your weight loss. Effectiveness Slimfast seemed very effective for me when I was using it, I highly recommend it for weight loss and I love that it is also healthy for me. Side Effects I have experienced no side effects from using Slimfast products. Ease of Use This is the most simple diet I have found and so easy to use. All you need is milk and Slimfast, mix as instructed and drink. Slimfast also has nutritious snack bars, the only thing with them is that it is so hard to just eat one.

The thing I like most about Slimfast is that the diet promotes a healthy weight loss of one to two pounds per week. The idea behind Slimfast is that you replace two of your meals each day with a meal replacement shake or protein meal bar. I find that the shakes and protein bars are fairly cost effective. They also taste really good which is important. I think a huge part of staying motivated when you diet is to actually enjoy the foods you are eating. Slimfast offers a number of different flavors in their meal replacement shakes and protein bars. I also like the Slimfast plan because you are able to eat a "regular meal" on this diet as well. The guidelines are very clear as to the foods that you can eat during you "regular meal" and the choices that are given as all very healthy. I do not get pangs of hunger on the Slimfast program and I find that I am able to easily control my blood sugars.

In college I gained the freshman fifteen and then fifty more on top of that. I tried everything on the market before finally realizing it was up to me to do the work. I tried slim fast and I was supplementing my breakfast with a slim fast protein bar and supplementing my lunch or midday snack with a Slim-fast shake. For a while it worked. I had a good amount of energy and I was losing weight. I lost about twelve pounds in a month using Slim fast. My trouble with this program is that eventually you get bored with the shakes and bars. The flavors get old. It's difficult to just drink a shake and eat a protein bar each day and then just have one full meal and a couple healthy snacks. It gets boring and old. I started to plateau after a month. My weight loss stopped and I was tired and hungry for real food. After a month of this program, I began just having a shake for lunch and eating breakfast and lunch. For a week or two this helped me lose a couple more pounds but eventually I grew tired of drinking shakes. I started trying to implement substitutes for the shakes and bars in food but I gained several pounds. I was discouraged and ultimately quit trying and gained back all the weight. I now do a variation of the weekend off diet and the eat clean diet and I have lost 35 pounds. Effectiveness It's okay for a quick fix but the weight will come back quickly once you stop. Side Effects I was a little cranky at first but got used to it. Eventually I grew bored with my options. Ease of Use It's easy at first but it gets tiring and bland.

This is great for fast weight loss.  I love the strawberry flavor the best.  I would use the powder when I am ready for a quick weight reduction because it is cheaper and will last a while.  I will sometimes stretch the drink with water so I can drink even more with less calories.  I would have a drink before leaving the house in the morning.  Full strength of course.  Then mid morning have another with water added.  Then for lunch two full drinks so I am stuffed.  And if I am still feeling hungry before the end of the day another with extra water.  It's like having dessert all day.  I love the full feeling you get.  I did not crave anything else because I was feeling full.  For a treat I would have the ready to drink can.  It feels great just to open the can and drink it.  I like how I was able to achieve fast weight loss.  Of course I followed my own plan.  Not the  healthiest but it's better than being over weight.  I would count the calories to equal 1200 to 1400 calories per day.   My only meal would be the shake.  I would only do this for two weeks top.  I would also include exercise with this plan for better results.  But it's fast and easy to do.  I would recommend this 100 percent.

Although Slim Fast is great for people who are too busy to sit down to prepare a meal, the shake is not enough to replace your meal. Unlike Herbalife, the shake isn't filling at all and often leaves you feeling hungry (or at least it did for me). I did lose a few pounds, but I was so hungry I started eating the same amount I usually ate and eventually just gave up the shakes. I would recommend that people could use this as a snack replacement, but definitely not a meal replacement (or two) that they advertise. Effectiveness Works for a little while, but it's not good over the long term. I was always really hungry and still ate around the same amount of calories I had before I started SlimFast. Side Effects As far as I have seen, there aren't any major side effects- but I was always pretty hungry even after drinking a shake. Ease of Use Easy to use, and easy to prepare. The shakes are perfect if you're on the go and need to get some nutrients in your body. However, it's not good as a meal replacement as they advertise.
