Slimfast!

I've tried just about everything. One of the biggest things to remember about losing weight, in my opinion, is to cut the sugar. Having said that, Slimfast contains a lot of sugar. If you are looking for a meal replacement shake, try Atkins. They are high in protein but very low in sugar. Good luck to you! :)

I drink it for a couple of months at a time and I always loose at least 10 pounds a month. I also try to eat right and walk.

Dear Liz,

I'm not able to use Slimfast because it has sugar in it and my body doesn't tolerate sugar well. But my mother in law goes on it any time she wants to lose and she has great success with it. So it may just depend on your body. Be sure to drink or eat every 3 hours so your metabolism stays up!

Whenever I drink Slimfast (as occasional meal replacement, not part of Slimfast program), I find that if I drink a large class of water with the shake, it helps me feel fuller for longer. If you feel hungry, sometimes it's your body's way of saying that it's thirsty, not hungry.

The main reason why Slimfast is successful is because you're reducing your calorie intake. There's nothing medical/magical about the ingredients in the shake. Weight loss is a simple rule of math - consume less than you burn. If the shakes work for you, that's great! but, if you find that you're hungry or have any other funny side effects from limiting your diet to a dairy-based shake, try finding food options out there with similar calorie values as the Slimfast shakes/snacks (some Lean Cuisine meals or even a homemade sandwich with low-cal bread, low-cal cheese, healthy choice meats, etc.)

Good luck! Weightloss is a hard journey, but well worth it in the end.
