Slimfast is tastes good, works if you follow it exactly and exercise. It is based upon low calorie. You burn more than you take in therefore you loose weight. If you are only wanting to lose a few pounds, this diet is great. However, if you want to lose more than 5 pounds or so, you need to work on your mental and physical self. I tried this for two weeks and lost about 8 pounds, but I was always hungry.
To lose weight, the rule is simple. Eat less than you burn daily. Long term weight loss, weight loss of more than 5 or 10 pounds requires motivation. Change your eating habits. A 230 calorie candy bar requires walking at 3.5 miles per hour for about 45 minutes to burn it off. Ask yourself before you start munching if it is worth it. I eat all the time - carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, and celery as snacks. I allow myself all of that I want and drink lots of water and tea. I have lean cusines/healthy choices for lunch and dinner. For breakfast, I actually eat an omelet or something with a lot of protein to keep me going. I also go to the gym three times a week and walk three times a week for about 45 minutes around the neighborhood.
By using this method, I have lost over 30 pounds in six months and gained many new friends.
You don't need a diet, you need an attitude.
