is the slim fast diet good

Nobody had anything good to say about Slim-Fast. In the early 90's I went on my first diet. I don't like excersize so my diet was to cut down on my food and cut out the fries, other fried food, chocolate, ice cream, etc. I was between marriages at the time and had a contest instigated by my girl friend - no sex till we lost 7lbs. I was pretty motivated and lost my 7 pretty quickly, however I don't think she ever did.

hi has any one done the slim fast diet----(milkshakes) and lost weight.How lond could u go on for? I'm planning to go on it but will do only one shake for dinner and have breakfast and lunch as normal.

Is it ok to drink slim fast while pregnant? I have gained too much weight so far. I started out tiny and now my mid section is huge! I'm not looking to lose weight but eating hurts. My lower back is in excruciating pain and I know it's from the weight gain and due to my belly sticking so far out. I'm only 25 weeks pregnant and I feel the only option is to eat tiny meals to keep up my energy because after I eat my stomach feels so tight b it just hurts.

I agree its a waste of time and money If i were you i would lose weight the old fashioned way excersise and a healthier diet sure it may take longer then you may want but its the right way to go about this. If your not up for that then im not sure what i can tell you. In my opinion all those diet pills lose weight fast etc there all not good for you nor do they have a long term affect in order to keep the weight off you will proly have to contine with taking them.

Slim Fast was getting difficult to stay on track. I found myself cheating on the diet. My friend told me about the protien shake that Dr. Oz uses. There are a few recipes on his website. Right now I am using the Ultimate Breakfast Smoothie. It tastes awesome and it actually keeps me full for over 6 hours. I have zero cravings for food and sweets. I've cut back my dinner portion.

I cannot get to see my doctor for a few weeks. I've read pretty everything that you suggested but yet it does not answer my question. Since cholesterol is a computation from all my numbers, can you explain why the cholesterol is high yet everything else is reasonably low? What am I missing? I am misunderstanding one of the numbers to be good while it is not? I'm slim, work out, eat healthy meals, am vegetarian.

I have asthma but i would like to start the HCG weightloss diet . I was wondering by me having asthma and taking the Hcg drops would cause any side effects or any future health problems?

Once this is completed, Barb is correct that yoga is a very good low impact exercise. In addition, walking would be where you could begin but you should certainly watch out for any tightness in your chest, throat or asthma-like symptoms. Swimming is also a possibility, if approved by your doctor, and you should do so with someone else in attendance should you have any difficulty.

Fasting is not a weight loss tool. Fasting slows your metabolic rate down so your diet from before the fast is even more fattening after you fast," says Joel Fuhrman MD, author of Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Plan for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss and Fasting and Eating for Health. Fasting for weight loss carries other health risks as well.

Actually, I have tried a LOT of different fasts over the years, and the most comfortable and most effective I've ever done is the "lemonade fast", or "lemonade diet." You can google it and get the recipe...It's amazing, and weight comes off really fast. I have a low blood sugar problem, but did not have problems on this fast.

yeah, my nutritionist told me its best to have a varied diet, not one that only focuses on one particular food group, such as protein. my mother in law went on the atkins a few years ago and she literally never ate carbs, her hair started looking dull and falling out, her skin got real dry, and a whole lot of other stuff going on. and it just didn't sound healthy, like for her snack she would throw strips of bacon in a ziplock back and toss in her purse....

any tips on cravings.. im not on slim-fast but it is a shakes and soup diet... also any exercise tips for being quite obese... the thought of doing anything like the biggest loser makes me feel sick.. something gentle but effective... any takers?

I know I probably wasted my money but my daughter is getting married and while I Do diet and exercise I need the extra help. And advice would be much appreciated. Thank you so very much.

What might the actual medical name be for these pills, is it Meridia or Xenical?

First off, there is no healthy way to drop pounds fast. When you lose weight, you want to do it slowly in order to keep the pounds off and have the weight loss last. Second, according to your weight tracker status on your profile, you are already in a healthy weight range, so why are you trying to lose more weight? It's not healthy to go below a certain weight and your body needs many nutrients, especially as a growing teen.

Keeping busy does help so much to forget about taking the pills. That really is great. I think there is just one of the amino's that should be taken on empty stomach. I believe it is the L-tyrosine.. I wish I was certain. Someone else should know for sure. I hate to eat in the mornings but need to have something in stomach to take my advil, so I drink a Slim-fast. It just coats my stomach and it has lots of vitamins.

Well I have tried over and over again with pills shakes nutrisystem slim fast weight warchers etc you name it I tried it.

The best way to find a diet that you will stick with is by googling diet plans. Read up on each one and find which one you will like the best. Personally, I couldn't go without some carbohydrates in my diet. Maybe you are stronger than me though. I have seen it work but usually the person breaks and goes back to carbohydrates and gains all the weight back. Some carbohydrates can be good for you.

m also extremely worried on how to reduce my belly, and waist, which used to be slim and fit in the past. This is making me very uncomfortable. Can somebody help please?

That is great news. Eat a low fat diet and fatty liver can regress back to a normal liver. Who said it's not over to the fat liver sings. This chapter is over! Go enjoy life.......with low fat food of course.

I kept at it but nothing was happening. You need to eat more then once a day. I start the day with a slim fast. Small lunch and good dinner before 10. You just need to come up with a schedule and keep eating at the same time during the day. I hope that helps a little.

Im 35 weeks now and I gained over 40 pounds already I'm thinking about starting a diet slim fast or herbarlife since my baby is almost ready for birth I'm thinking it should not affect him and will help me stop gaining weight. What do you think?

Thanks for the info on Ali. I may give it a try again. I, too, have thyroid problems. In 1978 I had a tumor and take Synthroid 0.1mcg daily. That has caused some problems with the weight but I do practice portion control. That I am good at. I will stay in touch. Thanks!

Now we're on a level we can both identify with. I knew we'd get here eventually. My thoughts on grocery shopping are this: shop only around the outside perimeter of the store......... think produce, meat, dairy -- all along the perimeter...... the closer you get to the center of the store, the more processed (translate: fattening) the foods are....... I, too, don't like the word "diet"........

hye..i'm 19 & i'm fat since i was 6 years old.can you suggest me on healthy diet that will make me slim within 2 months? with exercises too.. cause i'm getting tired on people who always look down on me. TQ :) plus i'm having 'shy' problem.its not that i dislike jogging,but with people around,its make me feel like 'why i am the only one with this size..
