Slim Fast is a well known product; it has been on supermarket shelves and sold in health stores all over the planet for many years. This year my friends advice hit home, "look, you've tried the other stuff, why not try this, it works for me." It was the "it works for me" that got my attention because my friend takes superb care of herself and is a model of health and beauty. With that in mind her advice was met with skepticism by others who quickly let me know that such stuff is a mess, doesn't work, and is foolish. They aren't, in many cases, as attractive or fit as my friend, so it was easy to discount their bad advice; however, were such not the case, I'm not certain if that would have been the result, and it's not for certain in many cases how many times someone may have thought of trying this diet and been talked out of it. It is for that person that I'm penning this entry- to let you know, yes you can, and it works, and it works well.

My results are so easy to see that it is startling; at the beginning of my experience with the diet I weighed 210 pounds, ate whatever was in front of me, and whatever was in front of anyone else, and then went back for seconds and thirds, because I felt hungry, and because food helped me placate my lack of physical pride. It was, and it is, a vicious cycle, you feel bad because you are out of shape, you eat to feel better, and you do while you are eating. It doesn't last, the sugars and the carbohydrates, wear off, and your down again, only with renewed weight gain, or, lack of weight loss, it is a vicious circle of food addiction.

Takeaways
  • Slim Fast works
  • Losing 30 pounds can be done - I know...I did it & you can too.
  • Getting into exercise is rough, but not getting into it is rougher.
Did You Know?
Slim Fast isn't a new product but opting to use it can bring a lot of negative remarks.

I just don't understand why it didn't work for me. I only put two scoops of ice cream in each shake. ;-) Really... congrats on your success. I have used Slimfast, and as tempting as it was, I didn't add the ice cream.... although that does sound good! *LOL* It worked for me too, and it's a great product. Great article!

Dana, wonderful piece! I had lost weight using Slim Fast before and along with exercise, I lost what I needed. What inspired me to loose was a vacation in the Bahamas. Well, we can't afford to go to the tropics I need convincing to lose weight. So I had tried it again but wasn't as disciplined about it. And you have to be. I am going to try it again and actually USE my treadmill and Bowflex! Thanks for the jump start! Bravo!

What a wonderful review and your honesty of eating habits, I must say entertaining. And BRAVO for you on the results. I don't have the hunger problem but do eat the wrong foods often enough. I tried Slim Fast and combined with the treadmill lost steadily to my normal weight. This is inspiration to do it again - it's the sedentary lifestyle and skipping meals that's my problem. Thanks Dana!
