Does the Slim Fast diet work?

Question

Does it work?  Is it worth it.  I mean along with exercise.  Just a thought lol.  I'd like to drop some lbs, and I am already losing, but I wanna lose a little faster.  Does slim fast work? Have you tried it? Does the taste make you sick?  Any other weight loss advice? :D thanks!

Yes and no. Yes it will probably work short-term, but no it won't work long-term. You need to adjust your eating habits for long-term success. The main goal is to eat healthy. If you start googling healthy eating ideas and tips you will find so many things that are good for you and taste good. Try and focus more on fresh, organic food. Lots of fruits and vegetables. Resist buying junkfood (or ask the grocery shopper of the house to stop) because having it out of your house means you are much less likely to eat it.

Plan your meals in advance and even consider preparing meals beforehand so you don't get lazy and start eating fast food or something else unhealthy simply because you're too tired to eat healthy. I could go on and on but there is so much to talk about with healthy habits that it wouldn't all fit here. Just start googling healthy eating and you will find so much helpful information.

Remember, you should be trying to change your lifestyle into something more healthy. Simply planning "diet and exercise" will always fail because you simply cannot keep it up forever. It will become too tiring and tedious. However, if you change your entire lifestyle around then it becomes routine.

I think the main good thing about slimfast is that unlike a lot of other low cal diet stuff it also contains the vitamins and minerals and other things that your body still needs while dieting.

If you are already taking a one a day mega vitamin supplement, then you might not need slim fast.

If you are simply looking at losing weight, its all in the calories you eat. You should find out for your gender and height how many calories you should be eating with no exercise

That calculator will help you out.

Then a good dieting plan is to go 500 calories under your normal healthy calorie intake. But if you are exercising, which you should be, then you should probably account for that too.

Tell me what type of diet it is and how many calories you consume and I'll tell you cause I'm a culinary majori in a nutrition class now and we just learned this. cause If doesn't meet your recomeded daily amount of calories your body is going to go into starvation mode and store as much fat as posible because it isn't going to kow when its going to recieve more calories. So my best bet is eat more veggies and limit your meat to 4-5 ounces a day.

Hmm...I'm no expert, but what I think it does is

1) easily digestible

2) low carb

3) low fat

4) gives you the necessary vitamins to be healthy

However, I would imagine that a vegetarian diet will probably be much healthier and better in the long term.
