Advantages: Good quick fix diet, useful advice on enclosed sheet, quite tasty. Disadvantages: Difficult to use on the go, doesn't always mix properly, can get expensive.
..."Yippee!" I thought, "Only 6 weeks 'til my holiday!" But my elation rapidly declined at the thought of having to put on the obligatory bikini and laying on the beach with all those toned, tanned bods. Well - the tan I can fake, but the bikini bod? That's a bit more tricky. So I decided to try to lose a bit of weight. I wasn't after anything drastic, I just wanted to feel better about myself. so I decided to try Boots NutraSlim. This is basically an own brand of Slim Fast, but slightly cheaper. As a student, I go for the cheapest option! It was on 3 for 2 at the time anyway, so I thought I'd give it a go. (Usually £5.79 each)
Like Slim Fast, NutraSlim is a powder which you mix with skimmed milk to make into a milkshake. This is a bit tricky if you're in a hurry, and Boots doesn't offer the option of ready-made cans, but I persevered...

Advantages: It tastes great and isn't very expensive Disadvantages: It doesn't always mix that well
...I do believe that starving yourself with these "meal replacement" drinks is a stupid idea but when it's all you got....what you gonna do?
*WHAT DO YOU DO?*
You put two scoops (in the box) of nutraslim mix in to your measuring jug then you add 250ml of semi-skimmed milk and then mix and then drink!
*TASTE*
I always drink the chocolate supreme flavor, I think it is the best flavor because I have tried the other two and they don't taste that nice. You can get Strawberry and Banana as well.
*EFFECTIVENESS*
I was losing 4 pounds a week and then it started slipping; I mean it doesn't say anything on the box about eating a huge bar of chocolate in between your meal replacements!
I do admit that it is quite hard to stay on, you have to supreme will power or it just really won't work! It is effective as long as you don't cheat...

Advantages: Learn to eat healthily, easy once you get the hang of it, good support structure Disadvantages: You will need to buy new smaller clothes
...cake, chocolate, sweets, cheese, indian meals, chinese, or whatever it is which you need as a treat, provided that you count it. My Consultant Claire talks about "choice power", rather than "will power".
There is flexibility when you need it
In general, I have found that going to Slimming World has reeducated me in how to eat. Even when I go off the wagon a bit, it is not as bad as had I not been doing slimming world. If you are looking for a long term weigh loss solution to get yourself to a healthier weight, I couldn't recommend Slimming World more....
