How Successful Was Your Diet? 

I followed Slim-Fast many years ago and didn't lose any weight. I'm sure the main reason was because I only followed it for about 2 days before I gave up. :-)

My Review 

I had a real problem following Slim-Fast. The shakes tasted okay, but I was hungry about an hour after I drank them and would end up eating even more. I think, for me, drinking my calories doesn't feel as satisfying or filling as eating real food. They now have a wide variety of products other than just shakes, but I still don't think I would try it again. I think it's easier to make changes with my diet the way it is now rather than trying to follow something completely different.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No
