Slim-Fast!!

As I skim through all of my old posts I realize that I NEVER mentioned Slim-Fast at all. Sorry folks :(
I have been on the Slim-Fast diet for some time now and I can truly say it works. Meal replacements do work and they do fill you up. Not only that but if you are a full time student or employee who really has time to prepare a healthy breakfast and lunch every single day?! If you do keep it up but if not look into Slim-Fast.

Now I am not a representative of theirs nor do I work for them in any capacity I am just informing you what has worked for me.

I have been drinking these since after I gave up my life of juicing at like Day 4 lol.

How the 321 plan works:
Choose 3 snacks a day {Fruits, Veggies, 100 calorie Snack Bar}
Pick 2 You can decide to either have the Shakes or the Meal Bars
Have 1 balanced 500 calorie meal


I don't eat the snacks because yeah I'm that lazy smh but I do adhere to the rest of the plan. If you stick to the diet correctly you consume about 1000 calories a day! Which we all know that the lower the calories the more we lose.


Flavors:
I started with the can of Chocolate Shake and I loved it because it wasn't chalky and it tasted like Chocolate Milk. (You add the powder to milk)

The pre-made chocolate shakes I do NOT like at all they are kinda chalky but I have put my relationship with the chocolate flavor on hold because I fallen for strawberry and vanilla! Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan Shakes Variety Pack - 10 fl. oz. - 20 ct. - Nutritional Drinks & Snacks (Google Affiliate Ad)

The Strawberries n Cream is DEEELICIOUS!

The Vanilla is amazing like I wish real milk tasted like this!


Cost:
This is the most important piece! For $10 you get a weeks worth of shakes! Now it's only 12 bottles but I say a weeks worth because it gives you the opportunity to prepare those healthy meals one day a week.


So if you are like me and don't use the snacks you are looking at 
$40 for 28 days of breakfast and lunch.

$40 for 48 meals. Now lets compare that to lunch at McDonalds about $6 a meal. Now I won't even get into the breakdown of the time spent waiting in line and then the rush to eat that meal which would be around 1000 calories. I just want to give an outline of the picture.

I'm gonna tag some of the flavors so you can know what to pick up in the grocery store or from the internet. I would suggest buying from Walmart in the store because they give you the 6 pack of shakes for the same price that they give you the 4 pack.

Don't knock til you try it.

  1. Hmmm. I really don't care for the taste of Slim Fast but I've never tried the powder. I may give it a try for a couple of weeks.
