Slim Fast Juice-Based Shakes

Pros: Easy to transport; vitamins, minerals and soy.
Cons: Too much sugar. The taste is horrible!

Pros: Convenience, Lactose free, Nutritional value
Cons: Weight loss, Hard to follow on weekends

Fall has arrived in the northeast. That means its time to dig deep into the closets, the attic and a couple of other inaccessible dark corners to pull out the winter clothes. Ahhh… there’s nothing like winter clothes to hide the extra pounds from one...

Pros: Fruity and smooth
Cons: Expense

I just recently tried the Ultra Slim Fast juice based drinks. I have to say that I am impressed with these. I have tried the Ultra Slim Fast shakes before and do not care for them, but this is definitely different.

•Why did you try this...

Pros: soy protein, plenty of vitamins
Cons: high in carbs coming from sugar

Consider this a review of the product mentioned, but with a slightly different spin on the use portion. I know many, many consumers purchase Slim Fast Juice-Based Shakes (and the multitude of other products from Slim Fast) for the purpose...

Pros: Very flavorful, good nutrients, keeps you satisfied for many hrs.
Cons: Must be served really cold

Okay, so I decided to put Slim Fast to the test. Do you really "slim fast?" Read on to find out. I have used Slim Fast shakes on and off over the years, not so much as a diet weight loss program; but more to maintain my weight by...

Pros: Inexpensive (as a meal), soy protein (good for the heart), convenient
Cons: Undrinkable, full of sugar, and did I mention UNDRINKABLE

As a general rule, I think Slim Fast products are great. I don't necessarily know that it is the wisest way to try to lose weight (I'm of the opinion that simply eating smart and exercising will do the trick), I do think that the shakes make great quick...

Pros: Soy is great for the lactose intolerant.
Cons: Taste of the Orange-Pineapple, hard to find them in my area.

I have been fighting the battle of the bulge off and on for years and once again am staging an all out assault. This round, I'm trying to do it the right way (diet, exercise, and the works) I am working out 4-5 times a week (low impact water ...

Pros: hmmmm.....
Cons: yucky flavor

Warning: This is not a pro-Slim Fast opinion....

A few years ago I decided it was time to lose a few extra pounds. After being smacked in the face with lots and lots of Slim Fast commercials, I was on a mission to find me some Slim Fast. If it...

Pros: It's ummm healthy...
Cons: Taste...Price..texture...sheesh...all of it almost!!!!

I HATE diets. I hate even considering going on a diet. To me, a diet is one step above being poked all day with a needle. So, when I saw the Slim Fast Fruit Based shakes, I figured I had my problem solved.

......WRONG!!!!!!

...

Pros: Very easy to find and maintain
Cons: none

I have been trying to lose weight for some time now and have tried many of the diet foods to only end up discouraged and back to my old habits. I then tried slimfast shakes and was surprised to find that I could tolerate drinking them.

I...

Pros: Tasty, refreshing, non-milk based, better than the canned juice versions.
Cons: Not as convenient as canned liquid versions

I have a slight lactose intolerance and found powders that I had to add milk to created a problem for me. I was so happy to see Slim Fast Juice Powder on my grocer's shelf. It is a great alternative product for people that have a problem with milk based...

Pros: none
Cons: horrible, awful putrid taste

I still shudder when I think of drinking these fruit drinks. It had been a mistake when I purchased them. The flavor was Orange STrawberry Banana. I mistakenly thought that it was a new flavor of their milk shakes. I didn't notice the print on the...

Pros: Flavor, easy to serve
Cons: a little "chalky", pricey

I cannot say if this "shake" will make you lose weight as I have only tried them for a week, but they are yummy! Contrary to others opinions, I think the taste is fabulous. I am allergic to milk, and these are 99% lactose free, so i can drink...

Pros: convenience
Cons: TASTE

I guess it must be all the minerals in this stuff, but it definitely tastes like there's metallic bits in it. It doesn't matter which "fruit" flavor you pick, they're all just as bad. None of the flavors really have much resemblance to the fruit that's...

Pros: Lactose-Free, fast, easy
Cons: Has a lot of sugar

The new Slim-Fast Soy Protein based juice drinks are MUCH better than the older version they made. These new drinks taste sort of like the new calcium-fortified juices that are popular these days.

I didn't like the earlier drinks because they...
