One of my DDs and her other half did a Slimfast diet for three weeks before they went on an all inclusive holiday. They lost half a stone each.

I bought a couple of tins on the back of their success story, but lost my enthusiasm when DD told me the pounds went straight back on the moment they ordered their first sangria. grin

I guess it’s back to the 5:2 for me. They taste alright though.

I didn't do slimfast, but I used Almased for two weeks and took off the stubborn 5 lbs that I needed to. Basically replacing two meals a day with a drink, then a healthy dinner as normal. It did get boring, but I was strict with myself and it did the job.

It will work, but it's not sustainable weight loss. It's good to give you a head start on a healthier diet, or to get a few stubborn pounds off.

Well this might be a bit extreme, but on 3 work days. I have decided to have three slim fast shakes plus my 2 Actimel shots in the morning and water as well,those calories will be 764 and that will just be for three days otherwise I will be eating normally.. and they won’t be consecutive days.

I’ve just bought six bottles of this going to take 2 to work a day because I do need to shift about stone.
Have any Gransnetters used this and what experience can they share with me please?
