4.0 out of 5 stars I don't like to do titles!, February 24, 2004

This review is from: Slim Fast Meal Options Ultra Powder, French Vanilla (15 Ounces) (Health and Beauty)

I've tried all the flavors of Slim Fast powders and decided I like this one the best. The chocolate reminds me too much of what I'm supposed to be avoiding! This vanilla has a nice creamy texture and doesn't leave any after-taste in my mouth. I've been drinking it for 3 years, twice a day. Great product. I'm saving $1.70 per can buying it here, which is also a good thing.

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

This review is from: Slim Fast Meal Options Ultra Powder, French Vanilla (15 Ounces) (Health and Beauty)

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.
