Slim Fast Shakes

Pros: Great going in..
Cons: .. not so great on the way out.

To get things started smoothly, let me make two things clear:

1) I am not fat. I’m nowhere near fat. I am the exact polar opposite of fat. When I turn sideways, the exclamation "Hey.. where’d he go?" is always quick to follow.

2)...

Pros: Tasty, healthy and convenient
Cons: Not filling, a bit expensive

I first tried Slimfast Shakes a few years ago when I wanted to lose a few extra pounds. They recommend a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch and then a sensible dinner. Yeah, right! I was so ravenous come dinner time that I would eat double...

Pros: Uh, I'd rather eat and drink nothing???
Cons: tastes terrible!, expensive, smells like vitamins

I'd love to lose some weight. Really, I would. However, it's not going to happen for me by using Slim Fast Shakes or any other "diet plan". Reason being I've got a couple of metabolic problems. Thankfully, once I'm on the proper...

Pros: Wide range of flavors, easily available, tasty, convenient.
Cons: Really must be cold for best results.

I'm sure all of us at one time or another have yearned to lose a few pounds (or more). I found myself in this boat after having my second child. After trying lots of different products I finally happened upon Slim-Fast. I had been very leery of...

Pros: Some flavors are terrific, packed with vitamins and such
Cons: Some of the flavors aren't so terrific

Slimfast shakes–I know folks whose lips curl and stomachs lurch at the very mention of them. Makes me wonder if they tried one of the two real dogs and gave up. I'll admit, two of the flavors are pretty bad, but some are really terrific. Of...

Pros: Loads of vitamins and minerals. Really quite tasty.
Cons: The severe headaches has sworn me off this product.

It is summer time. I run around with my forty-five year old body, now some places smooshy, some places gooshy. Three children and slacking on the exercise can do that.

My eating habits are based on the Fit for Life plan, and I love that this...

Pros: good for an occasional meal replacement, variety of flavors, nutritional value
Cons: quick fix for dieters, lends a false sense of hope, price, won't lose the weight for you

When it comes to losing weight, nothing is more appealing to the reluctant dieter than a quick fix. While it may be fun putting the weight on, taking it off is more painful than pulling teeth, or can be when you see the scale remain stagnant even though...

Pros: Some flavours taste good, no-prep, easy meal.
Cons: WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR!!!

In the latest Slim Fast commercial a woman says she ‘used to be a junk food junkie’ and that she lost 15 pounds. At the bottom of the screen it says 'results not typical'. So out of pure luck this woman lost 15 lbs., and it turns out she's still a junk...

Pros: Company has slowly recognized the existence of fruit flavours, may work for a crash diet week(end)
Cons: Promotes reprehensible tastes and weight-loss habits, overly sweet flavours positively repel me

I never pretended to understand the paradox that is diet-industry foods -- fatty flavours: what's with all those Super Turbo Weight Loss Bar in Rich Fudge Brownie Flavour With Icing things? What's wrong with a flippin' salad for once?
...

Pros: Low calorie, low fat, taste good
Cons: Not very "filling"

Slim Fast Shakes


Seen the commercial? A Slim Fast for breakfast, a Slim Fast for lunch and a sensible dinner. Feel great and lose weight, right? Wrong, that is if all you are doing is following this simple eating plan. You need to...

Pros: Helped suppress my appetite and the nutritional stats are pretty good!
Cons: Sure didn't taste great to me and the can is an environmental no-no!

When I'm hungry at work I turn into a fire breathing dragon. I'm angry, I'm irritable, and I'm going to stay that way until someone sends food to the dragon! How can I loose weight when I spend the morning munching to keep my appetite under control? ...

Pros: replaces breakfast
Cons: None that I found

I am not overweight I just hate to eat breakfast. Eating after I wake up bothers my stomach but by midmorning at work I would be starving and start to eat cookies, chips or donuts to make my stomach stop growling. I also started to get tired very easily...

Pros: Convenience, decent nutrition, powder taste OK
Cons: Taste in cans not good, high in sugar

I'm 6'1", 195, and I have an athletic build. I also work out regularly which keeps the trash weight at bay. Why the hell would I even consider drinking a Slim-Fast Shake?

Actually I CAN answer that...

Time is not always...

Pros: Available in a Variety of Flavors!
Cons: "Diarrhea, cha, cha, cha!"

... including Strawberry, Chocolate, and Vanilla! Who could ask for more! It just doesn't get any better than this! To think, so many people are wasting their valuable time, money, and energy on diet programs, pre-packaged foods, and exercise machines -...

Pros: Works
Cons: Some people are still hungry after the drink.

After having seven children, four which came a year apart, it is needless to say that I was in dire need of loosing weight. Now, first of all, let me remind you that before starting any diet you should speak with your doctor.

With that said,...
