History

What does one do when one isn't hungry, but yet knows they need more nutrition than they are currently getting? My husband introduced me to Ultra Slimfast about 10 years ago. I somewhat begrudgingly drank some now and then. I...

Pros: quick, easy, many flavors, nutritional value
Cons: not very filling

I am a 21 yr old female in college. I am thin and not trying to lose weight...so why do I use slim fast you may ask? Well because for a woman as busy as I am sometimes in the morning I need something to kick start my day and the four spoonfuls of ready...

Pros: convenient
Cons: I drank it and still ended up hungry

Every now and then when the local Pathmark or Acme is having a sale on a 6 pack of Ultra Slim Fast shakes, say a 6 pack for $4.99 and I have a $1 coupon, I will pick up a 6 pack or 2. Why? Because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I...

Pros: Easy to follow.
Cons: They taste nasty.

Being a typical woman, looking at the media, I felt the need to try to lose weight. I thought Slim Fast, I'll go out and buy it. Well, I bought a case of the stuff, and here is what I endured through that case.

On my way to school every...

Pros: Great tasting, many flavors, can help you change your eating habits
Cons: Not filling when you're really hungry

I've never been much of a breakfast eater. I'm constantly hearing how "breakfast is the most important meal of the day".

I guess it does take it's toll because sometimes I'd find myself so hungry by lunchtime that I don't eat...

Pros: portable, filling, low-fat- good amount of protein for energy!
Cons: must be VERY cold to drink or they taste pretty bad

I decided I would try slim fast shakes in a can again when I went back to work again part-time. I wanted to be sure I was eating breakfast so I wouldn't starve until lunch. Also important to me, was that I didn't eat something with too much fat. It's...

Pros: Easy to grab when you're on the go
Cons: Can't stay on this plan forever

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but isn't drinking a 200 and something calorie shake for breakfast and lunch the same as eating the same amount of calories? I was drawn into this diet, if you can call it that, at one time also. They make it...

Pros: Fast and Nutricious
Cons: MUST be ICE Cold and Shaken Well!

Because I am under a low-fat diet, supervised by a research facility, my dietician was concerned that I was unable to eat a fast and easy breakfast meal that was well-balanced as well as low fat.

She recommended that I drink a Slimfast shake...

Pros: Not too expensive
Cons: Bad for you, requires lots of will power

First of all, Slim-fast shakes are somewhat tasty. They aren't as good as one I'd make myself, so why buy them?

Slim-fast is based on the principle that you can lose weight by drinking their protein-rich, vitamin-packed shakes. This is true,...

Pros: Rich in fiber; decent in protein; 100% os several nutrients
Cons: Availability of some flavors is better than for others; east to get carried away

Since I changed my eating habits in March 2000-- make better decisions about what I eat so I can give my body more of what it needs-- I incorporated Ultra Slim Fast into my daily living. At most places where it is sold I can find it for US$1.19 per can,...

Pros: Good for those who are strong willed!
Cons: Not at all filling

After giving birth to my first child in August, I needed some kind of jump start to help me shed the extra pounds in order to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. My mother had tried Slim Fast to get her diet on a good start, and it worked great for...

Pros: portable, discreet size, great for hangovers,, tastes fab, great for weight loss and energy
Cons: none

I have been using SlimFast for over five years, and I wholeheartedly recommend this to friends. My favorite form is liquid in a can. Not the juices-based, but the flavor-based (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry.) I make this specific...

Pros: Lots of flavors
Cons: Not all the flavors are worth drinking

First things first, I am not on a diet. In fact, I'll most likely never have to diet in my entire life because I have an extremely high metabolism. This aspect of my body is so high that I find it difficult to keep weight on, regardless of what I...

Pros: Easy, fast, tasty
Cons: All marketing, no real information

I am more than 100 pounds overweight. Diabetes runs in my family, and that's directly related to obesity. Breast cancer runs in my family, and while that's not directly related to obesity, a healthy lifestyle has been proven to give you less chance of...

Pros: Super taste, reasonable price, a large selection of flavors.
Cons: None.

"Where's the taste? Where's the flavor? This taste like cardboard! I wouldn't feed this to a pig!"

Have you ever said any of these things when trying out a new diet program, snack etc... I bet you have or something somewhat similar to that...
