Slim Fast
Submitted by cwilson on Thu, 09/04/2008 - 01:26.
Now that I am back teaching, I am trying to eat right. It does help that you can't find a snack machine in the building. I have started the Slim Fast diet... the shake for breakfast and lunch and a healthy dinner. I have been drinking the kind that curbs your hunger pains for 4 hours. Yet on yesterday, I was sooo hungry when I got to school that I had to purchase breakfast. I did have it for lunch and it wasn't that bad. Have you ever tried Slim Fast? Did it work for you?

Slim fast
I use their low carb shakes as a meal option on South Beach. It's a nice change and something I can grab quickly for breakfast as I head to work. I find the low carb shakes satisfying but I usually eat a snack about 2 1/2 hours later in the mornings anyway (fruit, almonds, cheese or yogurt).
Do they still make the Slim
Do they still make the Slim Fast powder (like for shakes)? I used to love that for breakfast ... I'd mix a scoop of the powder, eight ounces of milk, a banana and a double handful of ice and mix it in the blender. It was very filling, and I didn't usually get hungry before lunch.
If Slim Fast doesn't make the powder anymore, you could probably use Carnation Instant Breakfast or a smoothie mix.
Or ... just keep snacks with you. Can you bring fruit with you to work? Keep a banana at your desk for a pick-up mid-morning. Or keep almonds there.

I strongly recommend going to their website and taking advantage of their meal plans. The recipes are great - I've only run into a handful that I thought were duds. They provide a shopping list which I find invaluable.
