alanced Meal Shake, Healthy Shake for Balanced Diet Plan with Vitamins, YELLOW

This flavor is out to get me!., I don't know why I can't get it in stores in Canada but I gone keep buying it. I love white chocolate shakes...

This certainly would be great if I where dieting, cos it has a great taste. But being' s I have a bad stomach and can't eat much, I have 500ml of milk and 5 heaped spoons of the measuring spoon and mix it up with a mixer. And it makes the best thick shake yet ever had, am not fond of the build up drinks that have rotten flavours. This drink has all the vitamins and minerals you'll ever need, I love it.

I swear by this flavour. It is the best one out there. It fills me up and has all the protein and vitamins needed when you are losing weight. They are always great quality and lovely smooth texture. They are so easy to prepare too

Perfect

If you can trawl through this, I apologise that it's so long, but I do offer some tips that some people might find useful. I am a 'more mature' woman (65, actually, so very mature) and have yo-yo dieted most of my life. As a consequence, I have totally messed up my metabolism. 6 years ago I lost 3 stone easily by just eating only healthy foods, but that doesn't cut it any more. For the first 4 months of this year I went on the same regime, as I had regained 2 of the stone I lost last time, and lost absolutely nothing at all. That was on a very strictly recorded 1200 calories a day. This, incidentally, is a warning to all those who tell themselves they have lost weight before, they will always be able to do it again. There comes a point when your body thinks "oh, here we go again. I'd better hang onto all that fat, I might need it to survive". So I had to do something quite radical. I feel like it's my last chance. I dislike fad diets, and hate the word diet, but Slimfast does seem to break my prejudices. I always say that if it were possible to give up eating in the same way as people give up smoking or drinking, losing weight would be easy. But you can't, and it's very important not to develop an uneasy relationship with food. By replacing one or two meals a day with a shake that provides so many nutrients removes having to think about what to eat, stressing about it, and getting an unhealthy attitude around eating. Plan the meal that you are going to eat with thought, and you can look forward to that and not feel you're missing out. The feeling of missing out is one of the main reasons why people regain the weight they have lost. I use soya milk, as I don't like real milk, and it is closest to the proper stuff in nutritional value. I add psyllium husk to the soya and put it in the fridge until the next shake time, which makes it very thick, fills me up and keeps my digestion working efficiently. It's also good for gut flora. If left overnight, you have to eat it with a spoon. I also find it makes the shake taste less sweet. I add ice and use a blender. For 4 days a week my evening meal is homemade soup, always pulse based to give plenty of protein and be very filling. For the other 3 suppers I have something like fish or chicken salad, or wholewheat pasta with a tuna or seafood based sauce. So, how have I done? Well, it's been 21 days, and I have lost 8lbs. I think that's too much, if anything, as 1 to 1.5 lbs is a better rate of loss, but it will slow down. I plan to lose 3.5 stone, and I think that I will do it with Slimfast, as I really don't feel deprived in any way. But remember, whatever weight loss method you go for, there is one vital ingredient that you cannot buy; will power. Recognise what it is that makes you overeat (we all have triggers: stress, anger, that glass of wine that makes you lose your focus and judgement) because once you are aware of them, you can be on the alert and guard against them. Find ways of rewarding yourself that don't involve food, and, most importantly, if you do slip one day and eat a pizza because you've had a bad day, just start the next day as if it never happened!
