I bought some of thes for a fast breakfast and to help lose weight. I was not satisfied in more ways than one. First, there is no way one of those shakes could fill me up and give me the energy I need to shuffle two kids around. Secondly, the taste is not that great and leaves me feeling sick. This may not be the case for everyone, but it was for me. This is not a product I would use to lose pounds.

If you are like me, you don't have much of an appetite in the morning. I actually feel sick to my stomach, so eating even a banana in the morning is out of question. It comes down to solid foods, I cannot hold them down. After seeking out many alternatives, including fruit smoothies that would leave me feeling hungry after an hour, I chose Slim Fast to try out. Not only does it stay down, it tastes good and really fills me up. 1 week's supply is $7.99, so you are looking at a monthly budget of $32 for breakfast. Not bad!

I think slim fast is good for a quick nutrition hit on the run but for the taste I usually opt out and go buy some fruit and a package of turkey.

For me, this was really only a good meal replacement at breakfast or to replace a snack, which kind of defeats the purpose if you have it as a snack. I need something to chew for a meal! It tastes ok but not great. If you can stick with it, it should help with weight loss.

Slim fast is good for short term weight loss and they do give you somewhat of an okay alternative to the normal breakfast foods, but in some cases they just make you more hungry. You have to stick to the plan for them to really work.
