Watch the pounds fall off with slim fast

Advantages: Cheap, delicious and convenient.
Disadvantages: You will have to buy new clothes to show off your new found figure

...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...

Slim Fast Plan

Advantages: Convenient, Tastes Good
Disadvantages: Appears expensive, Aimed at women

...My partner & I both needed to lose some weight. Personally I needed to lose about 2st. We have tried eating healthily, however we soon got bored of salads and other healthy food. We tried the Aitkens diet and the weight well off. However we soon got fed up of eggs, eggs and more eggs for breakkie. Also as soon as we stopped this diet the weight just pilled back on. We have been to weight watchers and again it kind of worked, to start with. Well thats our dieting history. We decided to try Slim Fast. We bought the ready made drinks, tubs of Slim Fast powder, Slim Fast soup and snack bars. The products are expensive, espcially when you are buying a weeks supply for two. However the ready mixed shake drinks are £1.19. This works out cheaper than buying a sandwich in the works canteen, and much cheaper & healthier than...

Fast Soup for Slimming

Advantages: Easy to make
Disadvantages: Not to cheap to buy

...dieting hardly ever works as you'll find the quicker you take weight off the quicker you put it back on again when you do stop dieting. I think a thousand calories a day intake is enough to lose weight. To make these soups, you open the packet (lol) Pour the powder into a bowl and add hot water. 250ml it says on the packet, but I just add the water untill I get the required consistancy that I like, I prefer a thick soup not a watery one. Wait a few minutes and stir then eat. The taste of the soups are quite nice, creamy and the croutons do end up crunchy. I thought they may be powdery tasting as lots of packet soups are, but I'm quite surprised. The vegetables end up floating on the top of the soup and are not too soggy or hard, if you leave the soup a few minutes before eating it, your more likely to get the best results. I...

Review of Slim Fast Soup

SLIMMING FAST IS IT POSSIBLE

Advantages: If used correctly can help you lose weight
Disadvantages: Price

...Slim Fast - two words that together sound fantastic but in reality can we really slim fast. I myself have been on many diets over the years and none have really been any faster than others although some have been cheaper than others. So what can I tell you about Slim Fast as a product, well until 1997 the only form of Slim Fast you could get was a milkshake in the form of a powder which you added milk to. By the time 2003 came along the range was a bit more extensive to include things such as soup, snack bars, meals, pasta and even hot drinks. The whole idea of Slim Fast was that you had two shakes a day (one in the morning and one for lunch) and a well balance healthy meal in the evening. As I mentioned earlier the milkshake was in powder form and came in four flavours such as strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and banana...

Review of Slim Fast

get slim fast thats the plan

Advantages: You do feel lighter
Disadvantages: at first your so hungry you could eat a scabby horse

...be a good thing. The key to the door of life! Pah! More like the key to obesity. From the moment I turned 21 the the ghastly yo yo dieting started. The great big double fudge chocolate birthday cake didnt exactly help matters. Endless salads and exercise tapes, macrobiotic diets, begging 'him indoors' to pay for a personal trainer as my measly wage wouldnt buy a tracksuit. It was a nightmare. Somehow I managed to reach my target weight. I think it was through sheer stubborness the fat was not going to win! Then that was it. I gave up dieting, slacked off the exercise and by the time Christmas was over. I had gained a stone. Gah!!!! I hate being a woman. Now I've always been a bit skeptical about the Slim fast plan. 'A shake for breakfast, one for lunch and a balanced evening meal' as the advert says. Like all diet factories (eg...

SLIM FAST? NOT THIS WAY

Advantages: none at all
Disadvantages: triggered Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Slim Fast or Slim slowly

Advantages: look at the text
Disadvantages: look at the text

.... Very importend are also the many vitamins, which are in Slim Fast. They are: Proteins, coal hydrates, fat, ballast materials, sodium, vitamine A;D;E;C;B12;B6, calcium phosphorus, iron, zinc, iodine, potassium, copper etc. A big disadvantage is, that I can`t see Slim Fast after 2 weeks because it tastes so strangly. I replaced to meals a day against Slim Fast. And so after two week with 2 cups of Slim Fast a Day I hated the taste of Slim Fast. I had no hunger but I can`t drink it and so I endet my Slim Fast Diet. Slim Fast has no side effects which are listed on the box but I feeled, that I weren`t so active and I feeld sometimes a little bit sad. In the 3 weeks with Slim Fast I loosed nothing on weight. I don`t know why, but it works not so good by myself. The only thing, which loose weight was my wallet. One Box of Slim...

Slim Fast or Broke Fast

Advantages: Taste OK, are quite filling
Disadvantages: Price is ridiculous, don't taste amazing

..., meaning they are really easy to take out and about with you. Each packet again carries the logo and picture, and says, “A delicious soup created from the finest ingredients. Full of the nutrition you need and foil sealed for freshness.” On the back of the packet, we have what reads almost like some kind of dieting prep talk. It uses casual language, so you feel like the people at Slim Fast are your mates (and not people charging you massive prices for the ‘privilege’ of being starved.) “Let’s get one thing straight,” it tells us. “Dieting is tough.” Blah blah blah “There will be ups and downs, but you can do it. And we can be there to support and inspire you.” You catch my drift? The soups are really easy to prepare, and if you’ve ever made a cuppa soup you can...
