Any success with Slim Fast?

I know SlimFast seems like a gimmick, but can it work?

I’ve lost 55 lbs but have 40 more to go. I’m tired of weighing and tracking everything. Keto is tough because my housemate wouldn’t support it.

I’m considering SlimFast: replacing 2 meals with bars/shakes, having fruit as snacks, veggies anytime, and a sensible dinner.

Has anyone had success with this? Is it worth trying

Looks pretty next level to me. That must’ve taken an insane amount of commitment.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far! Using SlimFast as a meal replacement option can be effective for some people, but success depends on various factors including consistency, overall diet quality, and individual metabolism. Many users have reported success with SlimFast by following their meal replacement plan, which typically involves replacing two meals with SlimFast shakes or bars, having fruits as snacks, vegetables anytime, and a sensible dinner. This approach can simplify calorie counting and meal preparation, which might be appealing if you’re tired of weighing and tracking everything. However, it’s important to ensure that your overall diet remains balanced and provides sufficient nutrients. It’s also helpful to incorporate regular physical activity for sustainable weight loss. Before starting any new diet plan, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to ensure it aligns with your health goals and dietary needs.
