Slim Fast Shakes

Pros: Quick, Easy, Convient, Taste Great,
Cons: Not good for huge amount of weight loss, not too filling

We all know, you can not skip meals or your body will store the fat from your next meal, or go into starvation mode. Either way, making it tougher for you to lose weight.

I tried the Slim Fast Plan. Two shakes a day, or a bar. One meal and two...

Pros: some people can stomach it
Cons: nasty taste

I'm not "fat" but I do have a few extra pounds I wouldn't mind being without. I'm also concerned about nutrition. A nutritious, filling product would be something useful and interesting.

The commercials for Slim-Fast made it look so...

Pros: cheap, easy to use, tasty
Cons: not long-term

I've been overweight pretty much since I entered puberty, and I've tried the cabbage soup diet, the no-fat diet, the no carb diet, slim-fast and even went vegetarian for a while. The only thing that worked for me, without any "side effects" is...

Pros: Taste is not too awful
Cons: Can make you ill without warning; not very filling at all.

Should I repeat that? Never, ever, EVER drink these shakes unless you have first poured them into a clear glass. Both my mother and myself have been the unfortunate victims of Slim Fast poisoning. It starts with the can. You check it out. Looks...

Pros: Smooth chocolate taste
Cons: You're starving shortly afterwards

If you have the self-control, you might get away with using this product. But if we all had that, would we need Slim Fast?

I first tried Slim Fast in order to drop just a few pounds. I used the mix-it-yourself powder and later got into the...

Pros: Convenient
Cons: Not nutritious, too many preservatives

I keep hearing how healthy Slim Fast is and it's really starting to scare me. People seem to be depending on these shakes and bars as their sole source of real nutrition. The Slim Fast plan includes only one real meal during the day, usually dinner,...

Pros: Makes counting calories easier.
Cons: May gum up your plumbing.

Slim Fast Shakes come in two forms; pre-made liquid in the can or mix-it-yourself powder.

I prefer the canned Slim Fast Shakes simply because the powder is a mess. If you should happen to spill some on your counter-tops it is a real...

Pros: tastes good, actually works
Cons: leaves me alittle hungry

I've tried all kinds of weight loss programs, without success, including just plain diet and exercise and healthier lifestyle. I recently purchased some slimfast powder and thought I'd give it a shot. I love it, it really does work!! I've lost 17...

Pros: ready to drink
Cons: you get tired of it, expensive

Both myself and my husband have been on and off diets trying to find the one that fits our lifestyle. Diet after diet left us discouraged. We aren't drastically overweight, but are pudgy here and there and wanted to find something to help before the...

Pros: May convince you to try other brands of diet foods.
Cons: Expensive, has an aftertaste, not satisfying or filling.

I'll elaborate on my title in just a little bit; let me simply state here that Slim Fast Shakes in a can are a disappointment in many ways. The following review, though brief, is thorough enough to cover all the major shortcomings of this...

Pros: Quick meal fix
Cons: Chemicals don't help you

I had a love affair with Slim Fast shakes. Particularly the Fruit Juice shake mix. I would make fruit smoothies adding bananas, oj, strawberries, ice, etc. to a scoop of the shake mix, whirling it in the blender until thick and icy, and sipping it under...

Pros: Effective for quick weight loss, convenient servings in a can.
Cons: Tastes pretty bad, will leave you hungry, nutritionally unsound

My job requires me to pass an annual physical fitness test which includes falling within a certain height/weight ratio. Well, I had let myself slip a little (okay, a lot) and I found myself needing to lose about 30 lbs in 6 weeks... and I did it!
...

Pros: Curbs hunger
Cons: May have a recall now

I off and on try to lose about ten pounds. I have found Slim Fast shakes very helpful in these endeavours to lose weight.

One thing people should know is that drinking these diet shakes do not make you lose weight. You need to exercise and...

Pros: got slim fast
Cons: got eating disorder and gained most back

Hi. Last summer, I wanted to lose some weight, and a friend told me about Slim Fast. I picked up a 10 pack of shakes and was on my way.
I drank one for breakfast, one for lunch, ate a bologna sandwich on light bread and had about 5 carrots for...

Pros: convenient, curbs hunger
Cons: slight chalky taste

So far, I have only tried the Creamy Milk Chocolate and the Dark Chocolate Fudge--and I only tried those because--guess what??--I got a bargain on them online (I first tried them when more.com was offering a 6-pack for $1, and then got more during...
