Advantages: easy to prepare

Disadvantages: expensive and you feel hungry

Slimfast is a slimming "plan" where basically you have a shake, smoothie or bar for breakfast, a bar, soup or shake/smoothie for lunch and then a healthy (approx 600 calories) meal for dinner. You can also have 3 of their snack products a day and you are recommended to drink 2 litres of water a day as well as this.

The shakes come in either powder form or instant. The instant I actually find really nice and comes in strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and coffee. My personal favourites being strawberry and chocolate.

The smoothies I must admit I'm not that keen on as I don't feel they taste anywhere near as nice as a normal chilled smoothie you could buy.

The soups really don't taste that great either and I can't see, to find them in many shops so I do wonder if perhaps they are phasing these out.

The meal bars are cereal bars with slightly different flavourings. I think these are lovely, quite filling for a slimming product but quite sweet which is great if you have a sweet tooth like me but not so good if you don't!

The snacks consist of small bags of pretzel type snacks and little chocolate bars.

So does it work???

YES but ONLY if you stick to it!!! The difficult part with Slimfast is the sticking to it as you get really hungry as lets face it most people dont have just a drink for breakfast or lunch. I used this to help lose mny baby weight twice and a couple of times since and I guess I like the ease of it. You just pick up a bar or shake and thats it! I think the results can be quite quick as well but I guess that can vary from person to person.

This is a diet that if you have a strong will I reckon is worth trying. If you can get over the first 3 days or so it does get easier and once the weight starts dropping off it becomes even easier to do. The only other disadvantage with this is the price as it is never going to be as cheap as home cooked healthy food!

Give it a go though!

Summary: this diet works but can be difficult to stick with
