I would not recommend drinking Slim Fast. I love Slim Fast. I have a tub in my desk right now because I used to use it as quick meal replacement when things got busy at work. I haven't touched it since I got pregnant. Too many chemicals in the ingredient list. And it contains aspartame, an artificial sweetner which isn't good for you especially if you're pregnant.
I tried Slim Fast quite some time ago and did not find that it kept me full enough or satisfied enough to continue.
My choice was to journal my food intake and hold myself accountable for the food I was ingesting. I monitored calories, although there are many plans that work using other measures (points and carbs). In journaling, I learned proper portion sizes, their nutritional content and studied my emotions. Those things, plus moderate exercise and positive self-talk, led to my success.
Lately I've been starting to question some of the things I buy. I started buying Naked 100% fruit juice/smoothies, but as I drink one right now (says it was made with 4 apples) it has 0% of all vitamins (A, C, Calcium, Iron) and 0g of Dietary fiber per serving. Why is this? The ingredients are apple juice, apple purree, and natural flavors (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves) I don't understand why it has none of the nutrients that regular apples do?
t think I can continue to spend upwards of $100 per month for 4 products.Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated.The key benefits and ingredients for product are listed on the links below.
Thank you,
Derek

No, I don't think it will affect kidney stones, but.. Slim fast has horrible ingredients, and I would not feed it to my dog. From their website, they list Hydrogenated soybean oil, High Fructose Corn syrup, etc. Soybean oil will make you fat, and so will high fructose corn syrup.Suffice to say, stay away from Slim Fast! Eat whole foods instead. At best, these drinks may cause rapid weight loss, but they are not healthy and usually the weight comes back later.
a lot of juices claim to be good for you but when you look at nutrition facts and ingredients you learn theyd probably do more harm than good.
Salt is not in the list of ingredients, but there is 2 mg. of sodium in the asparagus and 20 mg. in the broccoli - -should I avoid that and just go buy fresh? I figured these were organic frozen veggies, so i didn't bother to look. Does that mean they added salt to preserve or something and since I don't know if it's iodized, I shouldn't eat it?
ll want to go with a detox program that values nutrition and contains daily vitamins, protein, fruits and vegetables, and other healthy foods. Many detox programs are simply diet pills that you take in addition to your normal diet (or they're meant to be your ONLY source of nutrition). These are dangerous and do not provide the benefits your body needs to sustain a detox healthfully.
The main concern is that my bowles have become VERY frequent, I can feel them moving fast thru out the day and excess gas. I have at least 2 BMs a day, mostly very soft and at times unformed. I eat very healthy, organic meals and focus alot on my nutrition because I am constantly trying to prevent cervical dysplasia, treating myself with many vitamins and supplements.
Listen to your body. Distraction when the anxiety is creeping in - turn on some music, call a friend and talk it out, get up and go walk. But most importantly is retraining your brain. "This is just anxiety. It's no fun, but it's not going to hurt me. It's going to be okay." Slow, deep, into-your-belly breathing is key! Journaling has also been very helpful for me.
Another top-line resources is therapy.
I would look at ingredients. Some of the energy ones have lots of caffeine, some of the slim downs have a mix that is smoothie kings own blend that who knows what's in it. Fake sugars? Caffeine or other energy drink type ingredients?
Also covered are discussions relating to specific diet plans like the South Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, Slim-Fast, Weight Watchers, Counting Calories, Fat Flush, Body for Life and others."
"Fat Flush" is a detox diet, much like a fasting regime. "Slim-Fast" is not a natural product. I am getting confused by the terse dismissals being offered to people who have come here for support.
Thanks again, but reading medical journals actually puts, contracting HIV form 1/500 to 1/2000 depending on the sexual act performed (unprotected). I am using worse case scenarios. Also that HIV transmission is 5 times more effective when one other person has another STD.
So please tell me how you got the 1/20000, which sounds good to me, but considering I work in a mathematical field I need it justified.
