Slim_Fast diet???

HigherGirl · 06-29-2003, 04:37 PM

Hey all!!!!
Was wondering if anyone here tried the Slim Fast diet before?
a few of my co-workers have tried it and some lost 2 pounds only while others have lost up to 30!!! I was thinking on trying it because I'd like to lose around 20 pounds..so If anyone has any helpful info, I'd appreciate it!!!

Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!

I don't know anybody who tried it and was successful. One person I know stuck with it for three weeks and lost six pounds. I tried it for a week once, but I was too dang hungry. I hardly lost anything, either. One meal a day just doesn't cut it for me.

Well I am a BIG advocate of eating "in moderation" Slim fast does not teach you how to eat properly!!! The problem with America is PORTION CONTROL!!!!!! People eat way too much food! After learning about my thyroid disorder and realizing that I have to watch every damn thing that goes into my mouth due to a shitty metabolism.... I have gained a whole new apprecition of portions!!! I am trying to limit my portion controls and I joined the gym in April, I love working out I have noticed a big difference in how I feel! So do I think Slim fast works NO!!!! It is only a "quick fix"!

anorexia is the way to go!

I agree with Jen and Dogstar

I tried doing the shakes and they don't last as long as a real meal would, It just made me even more hungry:embarass: I think its all about cutting your portions like Jen said and to be more active and drink plenty of water

and eat more healthy things.

I don't take things like that too lightly! There are things to joke about and things to not joke about and that is one!!! I had a good friend that almost died from anorexia!!!! Maybe is men/boys in this damn world did not judge a woman soley on her looks it would not be a damn epidemic!

Seems we have a lot of "Shallow Hals" on here

I think diets are pathetic, and there are easier ways to loosing weight.

I am happy with my weight at the moment, even though I do a little work out every night, just to keep my exersice up. All you need to do is not stop eating, DO NOT DO THAT, but just cut down on the size of your meals and cut out the junk/fatty foods, exersice regulary, and you will loose the kgs in no time.

And drink lots of water.

I agree Jen! Some guys just live to make women selfconscience

I guess it is a matter of maturity Julie!

JulieCitySlicker · 06-29-2003, 06:00 PM

You got that right Jen

hayley · 06-29-2003, 06:05 PM

Some guys can be bastards...but not all guys are like that, most of them, but over the last year and a half i've been out with 3 guys,

And 2 of them were serious...but only 1 of those 2 guys loved me for who I was and didn't feel embarrassed or whatever when he was with me, he loved me for who I was, and I loved him for that. :P The other guy well we won't talk about him

And the other one, well we only went out for about 3 weeks, it was just abit of fun.

Guys are confusing

JulieCitySlicker · 06-29-2003, 06:08 PM

Hayley, That is great that you had a relationship with a guy who loved you for you:P What a great memory to have

I'll bet he made you feel like a princess!

LMAO! Ain't THAT the truth...I'm post-40 and I still haven't figured 'em out

...

Jen, you are right, moderation is the key. Portion control in our country is out of control. I mean, sheesh, you can get all your calories for the day and then some in one trip to McDonald's with all that supersize crap! And it IS crap!

Exercise and drinking water are also good ways to keep your weight in check.
