Does slim fast work?

Answer by  RachelW (932)

Slim Fast does work, so long as you stick to the program (their meals twice a day, your own healthy meal once a day, and plenty of exercise). However, it can get expensive and is hard to stick to.

That depends on what you mean by "work." As a calorie restricted diet, it will help you lose weight in the short term. However, it is high in sugar, meaning you will wind up with insulin problems, creating long term weight issues. Read books by Gary Taubes for better diets.

Slim Fast does work, as long as you have the motivation and willpower to follow through with the diet. You need to be strong with your goals and persistent when following the diet.

If you combine slim fast with a healthy diet and exercise it will work for you. The reason slim fast works is because it is low in calories and it has protein and fiber, which help you feel full.

Meal replacement drinks will work when they are used as a replacement; not in addition to the meal. Drink it slowly so you fill up while being sure you drink your daily allotment of water.

I drink slimfast for breakfast and for me, it works. However, you must have a healthy diet. If you eat unhealthy other times, you won't lose as much weight.

I don't think slim fast works in the long term. It has entirely too much sugar and it does not teach you how to eat healthy.

Slim fast works, but not on its own. Like anything related to losing weight, you MUST eat healthy on a regular basis, exercise for approximately 30 minutes a day (in which you lose at least 400 calories doing so), and if you combine that with anything, you will notice a difference.

Slim fast often can work if taken as a meal replacement for some of your meals. It's relatively low in calories but basically nutritious.

Slim Fast can work as a weight loss aid if used in conjunction with a well-balanced diet and exercise program. If you burn more calories than you consume each day, you will lose weight. You should review the nutritional information provided on Slim Fast products and work with your doctor to determine a weight loss program that suits you.

Slim Fast, just like any other diet program, can indeed work. You just need to put in the effort and stay on top of your daily calorie intake and your exercise. With daily exercise and proper eating you can lose weight the healthy way.
