I have been using Slim Fast shakes and meal replacement bars to lose weight. So far I have lost 13
pounds. I also count my calories and make sure I don't exceed 2000 a day. For me I still lose weight
with 2000 cals a day since I am very overweight. Nothing is going to work for everyone, but for me it
works 'cause it satisfies my sweet tooth and supplies vitamins/minerals too. Also the newest version
has soy protein which is supposed to be very good for women.
Best wishes to all us Slimfasters!

I just wanted to quickly point out that in recent years slimfast has put a lot of effort into designing a maintenance plan to go with the weight loss plan for slim fast. I actually bought the book that they wrote about the plan and it made a lot of sense. I think that with slimfast the main goal is that you do not have to think much about what foods to eat to get the 220 calories and that is fortified with vitamins. It is important that you have a plan to eat sensible foods after you have lost the weight. I have lost weight with slimfast but not kept it off. Not because I didn't follow the program correctly but becasue I had no maintenance plan. Just my two cents.
