Should I do the slim fast 3 2 1 diet?

[whatsername]

I've been trying to lose weight and it's not working well. I work out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at my school's free gym, and I've been trying to eat less too. In the 8 weeks I've been working out and watching my portions I've only lost 7 lbs. Yes this might seem like a decent amount but I would like to lose at least two pounds a week if possible. Have any of you tried the slim fast diet? Does it work well? Do you think it would work well?

I currently weigh 218 and my first goal is 170 :)

No, they don't work well. There is really no substitution for food. And what often ends up happening is you drink one of the slimfast shakes, realize it isn't filling at all, then end up drinking 2 or more. And those shakes are pretty calorie dense because they are supposed to be meal replacements.

if you work out... u dont need meal replacement shakes... just eat variety of foods from the variety of macro nutrients more protein a bit of carb a little fat...
