Hey there, I have been reading through this thread and felt that maybe instead of the slim fast you guys should try a low calorie balanced diet instead, yes it needs more planning but it doesn't feel as restrictive as this diet. When you think about it, each shake is over 200 calories, what else could you het for that? Fruit salad with natural yoghurt for breakfast, Turkey breast and salad for lunch. Real food, filling and nutritious, not too sweet or sickly and not as expensive! Take a multivitamin, feel full after eating, you may be able to stick to it for longer and may not revert to unhealthy eating patterns after the Wright is initially gone. No judgments here, just observations from a previous yo yo dieter who had tried everything in the past! Healthy eating and exercise is the only way forward!
