Slimfast as a TFR

Hi

I was wondering has anyone used slimfast as a TFR and what does the shakes etc taste like? I have been on cd but getting fed up of it. Any advice would be great

Thanks

Its not advisable hun, as SF doesn't have all the nutrients you need for TFR and you will get ill. If you do SF then you have to stick to their programme with a healthy meal once a day and two replacement meals and snacks. Hope this helps x

Hi Dee,

No slimfast isn't intended to be used as a TFR and isn't nutrionally balanced to be used as such, so you wouldn't be getting the right amount of nutrients as Cheryl said, plus you'd be getting too much sugar!

Slimfast does work well if you stick with the intended plan and drink plenty of water. I have heard of people that have used it as a TFR (4 shakes a day) and they didn't lose anymore than somebody following the intended plan, infact their weight loss was slower and they couldn't stick with it. Slimfast works as it isn't restrictive, so great for people that still like to eat. You can have a nice healthy dinner and 3 100cal snacks a day, the shakes taste lovely too and if you get your head in the right place (which we all struggle with at times) it's quite easy to stick to.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies, at least its something to think about.

I am fed up of travelling 60 miles to see my cdc, he is a lovely fella and really supportive but I see him once a month because he is very far away and feel that I need to get weighed every week instead of every month. I might consider going on slimfast when I get down to a certain weight though, thanks for the tips guyz

Yea thanks chick

not thought about changing to a different TFR? err...Extante...it can done via post I thinks..I don't know enough about it..or maybe Lipotrim?

P.S. Slimfast won't get you into Ketosis...which means you will be ravenous...like a LION!!!

hmmm cd it is then...lmao

Hi Nicole,

No SF doesn't get you into Ketosis, but if it's done as the intended plan (not as a TFR, you would be ravenous lol!) it is quite easy to stick to and you don't get ravenous on it as you have your snacks and your meal to keep you going x
