Does slim fast really work?
146432
Slim fast helps you lose weight, by the simple fact that you're not eating as much. If you're able to eat just the two shakes for breakfast and lunch, rather than complete meals it should work for you.\n\nMake sure to also exercise regularly to get full benefits. You can read more about the meal plan on the box or at SlimFast.com.

I am an MD by profession and happen to come across your question. I would caution you against any form of rapid weight reduction. In the past, many cases of pulmonary hypertension as well as a host of other complications were reported with the use of "fen fen". \n\nAlthough my research on rapid slim did not produce any major problems, I am still concerned. Here is some info about it.\n\nThe clinically prov en key ingredient in RapidSlim SX, Cissus quadrangularis, is a scientifically validated extract from a medicinal plant found in India. Cissus quadrangularis is used regularly as a critical part of traditional Ayurvedic medicine. \n......................................................................................................\n\nHere is another piece of info about the acive ingredient:\n\nCissus quadrangularis contains high amount of vitamin C, carotene A, anabolic steroidal substances and calcium.\n......................................................................................................\nIf you take any vitamin at a high dose, you can have many side effects including liver failure. Anobolic steroids can do a lot of harm too.\n\nI would let you decide. Personally I would ask you not to use it. Keep exercising on a regular basis, have your doctor check the thyroid functions and control the saturated fat in your diet. Slowly but steadily, you will see the results.\n\nJose

Never.  Slim Fast has too many vitamins and minerals and unnatural things that your body can't process.  Can cause gallstones.  My mom's doctor calls it "a surgeon's best friend" because it makes so many people have gallstones.

Losing weight that fast isn't a good thing. If you lose it slowly, it stays off longer.\nIf you feel it works and isn't going to do you harm in the long term, good luck.

It does work but it takes a lot of willpower.  I went on it after having my third child and lost about 50 lbs in 45 days. It did change how food tastes and what I eat now.  Basically it is to cleanse the body and then you go straight to eating foods good for you. Changes the way things taste so you don't head straight for junk food.  However, as with anything...to keep it off is to be active and eat small meals all day long. I have kept the weight off for 3 years now. Keyword:  Willpower:)

the slim-fast website has some good exercises. I think you have to sign up for an account, but it's free. The website also gives you ways to track your weight loss, how many calories you burn with each exercise and a lot more. You really don't even need to follow their plan. I just use their tips and I'm losing weight.\nhttp://www.slim-fast.com

Haha.. i know wat you mean.. i tried losing weight while an ex boyfriend was away as well ;)\n\nI am not sure about slimming pills but I never used them because I dun trust them. I am worried they will have side effects.\n\nThus I chose a healthier way. I detoxed and lost 15kg in 2 months. You can see my before after pics here:\nhttp://dreamsincredibles.blogspot.com/2005/10/angel-lost-15kg-within-2-months.html\n\nIf you want to find out more about how to lose weight quickly and effectively, you can email me at verityy@yahoo.com

Hi Phylis,\nslim fast didn't work for us.  I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

I guess it depends on how fast you want to lose weight. Any work out routine will work if you do it. Lifting light weights from five to twenty pounds works. I did it six days a week 3o mins a day. Alternating upper and lower body and doing abs everyday. I kept my fat to 25 grams a day. If i had a craving i had one cup of low fat chocolate frozen yogurt as a treat. I went from a flabby size ten maybe to a 1/2 in two months. That fast. It works but it takes work. I ate a cup of cereal in the morning with a half a cup of milk one banana, glass of o.j .For lunch a salad and a piece of grilled chicken and a cup of broccoli. Afternoon snack 1 large pretzel. Dinner another salad, 1 cup of pasta with beans. I made sure i ate several small meals through out the day. If you do it this way you are guaranteed to lose weight. It works. I remember when i started working out this way and i was shocked at the results. My stomach looked awesome my arms legs everything was tight and toned. I could go to the mall and pick anything off the rack and it fit. It was the best thing i ever did.  That infomercial stuff is crap. Trust me. If you want to e-mail me i can tell you more about how i did it. It doesn't take long for results and the results last a long time. You won't feel deprived you'll have so much energy. The great thing about lifting light weights is sculpts the whole body. There is no pill or shake that can do that. Once you replace fat with muscle you burn more calories and can treat yourself to things you really want and even take a few weeks off from working out and not even gain any weight. I lost a total of twenty pounds which may not sound like much but you could take two women same height and same weight say 120 pounds one is muscle the other more body fat. The women with 120lbs of muscle will appear to be smaller because muscle takes up less space than fat but weights more.

It has proven time and time again that any of these slimming "magic bullets" MAY seem to work but only temporarily or NOT AT ALL.\n\nThere is no slimming pill that really works. The sure way is a good diet and exercise  and TIME.

I don't think a diet made up entirely of slimfast shakes would be all that healthy.  I am no expert, let me say, but I would go to your doctor and have them recommend a diet for you.  One with loads of veggies and proteins and exercise 3 times a week and lots of water would be a good start I think.

Weight loss drinks are not healthy.  There is no immediate remedy for being overweight.  Weight loss drinks such as Slim Fast are made out of the same fluid that people in a hospital eat on a feeding tube.  Over a period of time you will lose the ability to use your intestinal muscles..causing digestion problems.  Eating healthy while controlling portions, and exercising 30 mintues to an hour each day is a sure way of losing weight.  Its so simple but so many people neglect it..
