4.0 out of 5 stars Slimfast is a viable meal substitute when done responsibly, March 19, 2004

Ultra Slimfast Powder is a good tasting (I prefer Chocolate Royal myself) drink IF MIXED WITH A HAND BLENDER or stationary blender-do NOT try to stir it with a spoon.

I have been using Slimfast as a viable meal substitute for 7 years. The liquid can drink tastes lousy to me but the powder when mixed with about 16oz. instead of the 8oz. recommended by Slimfast (what were they thinking?! Yuck-too sweet.) It really can last between meals, but I never approached it as a "diet" (root word "die") Two things: when you start using the Slimfast, you might get the hunger too soon, that is the mind saying you have not had enough to eat. When you get used to it, though, you might be surprised at the level of satiety you have. Second, I have only used it as a meal substitute because of convenience (a fraction of the cost of Carnation Instant Breakfast (what a joke-rip-off.) but, sometimes it has been the only meal twice of my 3 meals and I Have lost weight.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works as long as you can stand it!, February 18, 2004

I tried this stuff for a while. It does exactly what it says on the tin. If you follow the instructions you will lose weight. I lost about 14 lbs in two weeks, and I was not terribly overweight.

So why not get 5 stars?

1. It's boring. The first shake is great, the second isn't bad. By the end of week 1 you are fit to slit your wrists if you see another.

2. The weight comes straight back on as soon as you stop. The instructions tell you to go on other diets, but the problem is, you learn nothing about eating on the slimfast diet.

3. It can't be good for you. I don't care what they say on the tin. It feels wrong.

So, I lost my weight permanently by learning how to eat properly on a proper balanced diet. If you want to learn how to lose weight, it's easy. Go to a doctor who will tell you this:

"no alcohol for a year, and lose 14 lbs - then come back for a test. If the test is clear I don't have to perform a liver biopsy"

That worked for me.

The secrets to losing weight:
1. No alcohol- none- ever.
2. No bread - none - not even dry granary toast.
3. All food consumed in three meals per day made from food that you prepared yourself- no snacks-none- no fast food, and steer clear of restaurants because they are full of bread and wine.
4. Leave the car - walk.
5. Drink lots of water.

It's boring, but it works better than Slimfast.
However - if you are getting married in two weeks and can't fit in your dress - Slimfast could be just what you need.
