Why do people knock slim fast and other vlcd?!
Question: I am wondering because I lost 2 stone on slim fast, i had 2 shakes a day and 2 apples for snacks and loads of water, I wasn't hungry so no other meal was needed FOR ME. I'm not advocating I did it by the book, but the weight fell off, which was a great confidence boost I needed. If I had have resortd to a gastic band, I wouldn't have been able to eat a slim fast or an apple, so why do people knock what worked for me?

Congrats honey, will you sell me the weight you lost? I love food but always running around i can never put weight on. Sitting down eating loads of everything at mo, eating for you even. Must continue the exercise tho cos a fat tummy on stick legs dont look good, bet u look & feel fabulous. minerals, vitamins etc, they are to die for? x
Because the shakes are probably packed with sugar
I lost sixty pounds on Slim Fast, and I gained it all back and then some. The reason people knock it is because it's hard to maintain that lifestyle after losing the weight you need. I'm on Weight Watchers right now, and I only need seven more pounds to reach goal. It has taught me how to eat in a real world environment--portion control, measuring, how to estimate a portion size, etc.
If you can keep the weight off with Slim Fast, more power to you, and I mean that seriously. It's just that for many, myself included, it's hard to see yourself drinking shakes for the rest of your life. I'm 23, and I definitely cannot see myself doing that. I love food too much! :) I will add that, if I'm in a pinch, I will drink a Slim Fast as a meal substitute, as it is nutritious--I just don't do it everyday.
Good luck! I know how hard weight loss is, no matter what program you use.
I dont Know why Exactly but I have heard some very creepy stories about those shakes..a friend of mine opened on before and forgot to drink it,she left it in her press for a day,when she checked it there was maggots in it!...*shudder*
