| lovetodraw's Full Review: Slim Fast Powders |
I first tried Slim Fast Powders over nine years ago. I had just given birth to my second child and those extra pounds I had gained just wouldn't go away. I had seen many advertisements for Slim Fast and figured why not give it a try. Boy am I glad I did!
Slim Fast Powders come in a variety of flavors including Vanilla, French Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate and Chocolate Malt. Being the chocoholic that I am, I started with the chocolate. Unfortunately the chocolate flavor didn't taste much like chocolate to me, instead it tasted more like a vitamin drink. Sorry, but not for me. So next I tried the Strawberry. Yum! I found that by mixing the Strawberry powder in the blender with some ice cubes, it tasted just like a milkshake! Now this was a flavor I could stick with!
Slim Fast Powder comes in a 15oz. can, which I paid $6.00 for at my local grocery store, and is loaded with vitamins and minerals, 24 to be exact! These include: Calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Ascorbate, Vitamin E Acetate, Ferric Orthophosphate, Niacinamide, Zinc Oxide, Calcium Pantothenate, Manganese Sulphate, Copper Gluconate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamin Mononitrate, Vitamin A Palminate, Chromium Chloride, Riboflavin, Biotin, Folic Acid, Sodium Selenite, Sodium Molybdate, Vitamin K1, Potassium Iodide, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12.
To make a shake, mix 8oz. of either slim or 1% milk with 1 measuring scoop of Slim Fast Powder (scoop is included in the can) in a blender or shaker. For an extra treat try adding in some fruit! That's it! Enjoy!
By following the diet guidelines as stated on the Slim Fast Powder can, and having a shake for breakfast and lunch, and then eating a sensible dinner, the pounds slowly started dropping. Also Slim Fast recommends adding some exercise to your daily routine such as walking. I personally chose an aerobic workout and the pounds came off even quicker.
Ok, now you're probably wondering if Slim Fast actually fills you up? My answer to this is, to a certain extent. After drinking a shake I am not hungry for a couple hours. Of course after that I am starving and am ravaging through my cupboards for something satisfying to eat! But I find that if I am serious about losing the weight, a simple snack such as a piece of fruit, or a couple of saltine crackers will usually tide me over until either it's time for my next shake or dinner. Also drinking plenty of water helps too.
After following the Slim Fast diet for a month I had lost 10-15 pounds. I felt great and could finally fit back into some of my old jeans! Woohoo!
If you're looking to loose a little weight, I highly recommend using Slim Fast Powder. It is not only good for you, but tastes pretty good too!
