I’ve heard of someone who lost weight without attempting to drink Slimfast every day. Does it genuinely work if you take two of the drinks with one meal each day as recommended? My scale is broken, so I won’t really be able to track, but I ordered some today. I was just wondering if anyone knew of or had experience with slimfast.

I’ve used meal replacement shakes instead of SlimFast. It works if you stick to it. The challenge is maintaining the meal replacement regimen. For weight loss, it’s about calorie deficit. I found protein shakes more satisfying than SlimFast—they made me feel fuller faster, and I believe they helped shrink my appetite.

Slimfast can definitely help with weight loss, but it’s not magic. People lose weight without it, and some might find success with just two shakes a day. The key is creating a calorie deficit. Slimfast works best when paired with healthy meals. Two shakes a day can help with portion control, but make sure your other meal is balanced with protein, veggies, and whole grains.
I don’t track my weight all the time either, but clothes fitting looser can be a good sign of progress

I lost 20 pounds in high school using Slimfast, but I ended up gaining it all back once I returned to regular eating. Slimfast and similar programs offer a convenient way to manage calories without the manual counting, akin to WeightWatchers’ points system. However, once you stop following the program, unless you’re actively monitoring your calorie intake, weight regain is likely.
While calorie deficit is key to weight loss, sustainability and healthiness matter just as much. Simply losing weight doesn’t guarantee long-term health or maintainability.

The best weight loss strategy will always involve a calorie deficit and moderate exercise.

If you’re considering a drink-based option, I suggest Soylent or Huel. I usually have one for breakfast along with a scoop of protein powder, and it sustains me until lunch. I’ve also been training rigorously, which I’m sure contributes; I’ve lost 15 pounds since May.

Most diets are just as effective as Slimfast. The hardest thing about those kinds of diets is stopping them. Since most people won’t be using them for the remainder of their lives, they will almost certainly revert to their previous behaviors and put on the weight.
