Did anyone actually lose weight on Slimfast? (quitting smoking, gall bladder, weight loss)

[PghREA]

Just eat less, choose healthy foods like vegatables and fruits and excercise more. Forget about all the diet pills, diet drinks and diet stores.

man I never lost a single pound with that stuff. It just made me more hungry and then I had to have chocolate.

I have lost a lot of weight with a personal diete and aerobics. Now I have a big problem: Cellulite, I want to reduce its visibilitty, someone recommanded Gerovital Plant Forte. Has anyone tried it?

[Gabytza007]

Yes, Crazyblue, I am using it since I gave birth, because my tights started to look awful because of the cellulite. It is really good !!! Try it with confidence, you will not regret!

Years ago I lost a lot of weight on Slimfast, but that was using it is a different way than they recommend. I used it exlcusively with a lot of exercise. I started out slow because I had not exercised at all and built up to a ton of walking each day. I used skim milk and drank 2-3 a day and that is all I had. I lost a lot of weight but do not recommend that obviously. It was toooooo much exercise (I got up to walking 3 hrs. straight each day) and too little nutrition/food. I would not do that again. I hit a point where my body said no more and I didn't lose anymore weight from that point on so I quit.

I wasn't necessarily trying to lose weight when I used to drink SlimFast as much as I...
#1 - was looking to have a quick, easy, and cheap meal replacement
and
#2 - I wanted to eventually be able to see my abs, and I thought being low-fat this was a good thing to help facilitate reaching that goal.

My results were not what I had hoped for though. First, as others have mentioned, I found myself hungry only about 1.5-2.5 hours later. For all I know this might be normal, however, when I actually consumed MetRx drinks I made myself twice a day as meal replacements, I found their full-feeling effects much more satisfying. Secondly, I never did see much progress on my goal to see abs while drinking Slimfast.

Losing weight or losing more specifically body fat is something well researched and well published - and if you don't know already, then I'll tell you some facts:
#1 - it takes more than diet to lose body fat.
#2 - it definitely takes more than diet to lose body fat (LOL - put this in on purpose because I swear most over-weight people ignore this comment the first time they hear someone say it or see it written)
#3 - to lose body fat you need to increase your metabolism as well as consume less food which turns into fast.
#4 - you can increase your metabolism two primary ways. Yes two ways - not just one. First, by weight-lifting since muscle mass increases metabolism (the more muscle you have the faster your metabolism is all other things equal). Second, by doing aerobic exercise. Women and over-weight people in general tend to ignore the weight-lifting component (seems like too much work or they have ridiculous fear of bulking up - I want to set the record straight; you will not bulk up as a woman unless you do steroids... that is a fact.)
#5 - if you do not use both methods of increasing your metabolism together - you are doing yourself a major disservice and will not likely see a lot of progress towards your goal of losing body fat.

All that said I want to share with you a fundamental success story. After just 1 month of drinking MetRx shakes twice a day, weightlifting for 30-45min every other day, and eating fruit and vegetables as well as a decent third meal, I saw significant results. I was stronger than I ever was before and could see my abs better than ever as well. I'm 100% that diet alone didn't do it, but also the weightlifting.

Good luck and I hope this was helpful.

I lost 10 lbs one year by going on 80 percent raw food. i couldn't believe how the weight just lifted off, and then i got so tired of raw food that i went back to most of my old diet and gained the weight back. now i am trying so hard to make myself eat mostly raw, but sugar and breads get to me.

You could just get a vegan meal replacement.

Slimfast works. Its just calorie control.
It wont stay off unless you wean back your calories slowly and let your metabolism pick back up again.

Yes, I have lost 51 pounds with slimfast. I started drinking slimfast after some dental work. I have been drinking one shake for breakfast one for lunch and have dinner with my family I am even able to have dessert in the evening. I work a ten hour day so I have low fat yogurt for snacking at break and the weight has been off for five months now. I have a physical job and walk about a mile every morning for exercise. I don't feel hungry and I feel 100 percent better now that I've lost weight
