I recently had coffee with an old friend... she hadn't seen me since I lost weight. I told her I lost weight with a healthy, well rounded diet, eating less, very limited junk and lots of exercise. Today she told me that she was inspired by my weight loss and decided to go on a diet. She started using Slim Fast and has "lost" 5 pounds since Monday, without exercising.
It is my belief that this stuff is BAD! If I remember correctly it's almost all carbs! I know she won't believe me without actual third party proof that Slim Fast is the wrong way to go.
I'm going to go check the food and diet areas of the forum after I'm done here... but can anyone give me any help? Do you know of any proof, scientific or study wise that could help me out?
