Just wondering if anyone has ever done slim fast and stuck to it sucessfully?
I have the shakes for breakfast and occasionally one of the "chocolate" bars, but am thinking about doing it properly for a week or two.

It's called SOUP
Asda for example do very good tinned soup for around 30p to 35p per can, the contents weigh 400g which is enough to make you feel full and there's loads of varieties to choose from so you won't get bored. Each can only has about 160 calories - compare that to a bar of chocolate for example snickers with 479 calories in a regular sized bar you can see soup is a really good way to feel full and have something good to eat
Morrisson where having a sale yesterday on Heinz Soup 3 for £1 and since most can were dated until 2008 you can buy in advance and have years to finish them.
Isn't the point of slim fast that it contains all the nutrients you need on a daily basis tho?
What would slimfast have that you can't get from a can of soup and a multivitamin if need be?

Best way is to read the nutrional information of both and decide.
At the end of the day you've got to remember that behind every product on the shelves there is a company who's selling it to make a profit.
People should read more of what's printed on the back of labels instead of the front.
Hi there,
You might find it useful to have a read through this thread

Take care of yourself
Now I have a weight watchers soup for dinner - 93 calories and filling and warm.
I've lost 1 stone since I stopped drinking those damn drinking and just eating healthy. Say have 200 cals for breakfast, 200 for lunch and then 600 for dinner - and you'll lose weight.
Adios tablets work really well as well - I've lost 4lbs on them this week compared to 1lb last week (and i've been eating the same kinda stuff)
good luck. keep us updated
