I’m getting married on the 1st September and I would like to lose a bit of weight before our big day. I have previously tried weight watchers and slimming world lost quite a bit of weight but I am the type of person that will eat all my daily points in one go or get bored of eating the same thing.
I have never tried slim fast before so I decided to give it ago. I am going to be on the diet for 3 months and hope to drop a dress size or two. I have been slim fast for one week and I have lost 6lbs!!!! I am very pleased so far.
I had heard about the Cambridge diet and looked into starting it instead of slim fast but it is very expensive and hard to get hold of. In many ways it is very similar to slim fast but with slim fast there is a large variety of flavours and options. Slim fast appealed to me because it is very
simple to follow you have slim fast for both breakfast and lunch then a healthy meal for dinner. You don’t have to spend ages on weighting out products and counting calories. I found that whilst on the weight watchers eating plan I spent hours planning and thinking about what I was going to eat the next day to be sure I kept to my points. I also like the fact that slim fast can be purchased in many places supermarkets, boots, online and some petrol stations. Which makes it easier if you are out and about.
Breakfast - I have a ready made slim fast shake for my breakfast as I find that it is quick and easy. I have two children so I don’t have much time in the morning before school. To be honest I never used to eat breakfast at all. You don’t have to have a shake very morning or even at all there are many options smoothies, meal bars both come in a variety of flavours or just simply a big bowl of fruit.
Lunch - I have a shake again for lunch as I find them quite filling, I usually have a different flavour to breakfast though. You could also have slim fast soups as well as the other options above.
Dinner - By 5pm I am hungry for some real food. I have made lots of different meals for my dinner but the key thing is to keep it to a maximum of 600 calories. I ate chicken salad, jacket spud with tuna and salad, stir fry, Steak and home-made wedges (weight watchers recipe) and pasta with tuna, apple, raisins and celery.
Snacks - You can have up to three snacks a day. These can be slim fast products, fruit, low calorie yoghurts or other low calorie products. You done have to go out and spend pounds on the slim fast products I have brought some go ahead chocolate bars which are the same a the slim fast bar and had that for my snack. I usually choose a piece of fruit for my morning snack, cereal bar for afternoon and snack a jacks or yoghurt for evening snack.
~ Shakes~
They are my favourite they taste delicious and are filling. I have both slim fast powder and ready made shakes. With both you are guaranteed to get all the nutrition you need to help you maintain a balanced diet. Each meal contains:
- As much as half a pint of milk - About as much protein as a 75g salmon fillet - About as much Vitamin C as half a small orange - As much potassium as a large banana - As much beta carotene as a 40g serving of carrots - As much iron as 200g of raw spinach
I use the powder for when I am at home as it does work out cheaper and I don’t mind getting the hand blender out for two minutes.
~Prices ~
To give you an idea of prices I have listed a few below that I have brought and tried. The shakes come in Heavenly Chocolate, Simply Vanilla, Summer Strawberry, Banana and Café Classic (only available in Ready-to-drink)
Ready made shake - £1.09 but I can usually be found in supermarket on offer Tesco’s has it on offer buy 1 get 1 free at the moment which works out a lot cheaper, so stock up quick offer ends 19th June. Morrison’s also have them on offer for 58p per bottle.
Slim fast shake powder - £3.99 at Tesco I think it is about £1 more expensive at boots. I have discovered a fantastic milk to use for the powder you can buy it in all supermarkets and its called The one in a purple bottle. You can buy it in a two litre bottle and the great thing is it has got all the taste of semi-skimmed but only 1% fat! Its fab and tastes really good too. Each tin serves 12 meals.
Sour cream & chive pretzels - 48p roughly and are counted as a snack. They are quite tasty and a little moreish.
Chocolate caramel bar - 48p roughly I didn’t like these so brought some go ahead bars instead.
Apricot, Cashew Nut & Pumpkin Seed - 48p very chewy and delicious perfect for a afternoon snack.
Cranberry, Almond & Raisin - 48p very chewy and delicious perfect for a afternoon snack.
Main things to remember when starting any diet is weigh yourself before you start then weekly after that. Drink lots of water it will fill you up and it is also good for your skin. Finally if you do have a bad day don’t let it turn into a bad week!!
~Summary ~
I feel that slim fast is just as good as all the other diets that are on the market today. Slim fast range of meals and snacks is both delicious and convenient. It makes it easy to follow a calorie-controlled diet without the hassle of calorie counting, weighing or measuring every meal or snack. I have lost 6lbs in my first week and have not had any side affects or hunger pains. As long as you follow the diet you will lose weight and when you decide to stop using slim fast keep to a healthy diet and you shouldn’t gain the weight back again.

This revolution allows anyone who has ever struggled to swallow a capsule the chance to benefit. The Hoodia Mint 6 Week Supply offers a full Hoodia Mint Weight Loss course. About Hoodia Gordonii. Deep inside the African Kalahari desert, grows an ugly cactus-like plant called the Hoodia. It thrives in extremely high temperatures, and takes years to mature. The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, had been eating the Hoodia for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips. When South African scientists were routinely testing it, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknownmolecule, which has since been christened P57. The license was sold to a Cambridgeshire bio-pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, who in turn sold the development and marketing rights to the giant Pfizer Corporation.
