Weight Loss Slim

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Is anyone on the Medi Slim Weight Loss Program?
   I can't find much information about the Medi Slim weight loss program (not the pills) online other than from their own website. Is anyone out there on it or know someone on it with some good info? What kind of results are you seeing? Or is it as sketchy as it seems online? Any help would be amazing!

   • ANSWER:
     I just started on the MediSlim program a week ago yesterday. I know you said "not the pills', and I am supposing you mean the appetite suppressant. I am taking the appetite suppressant. I started with half a tablet daily for a week and then one table daily since then. I had lost 5 pounds at my first appointment at one week and have been thrilled so far. I need to lose a total of 40 pounds on this program. I had already lost 20 on my own, but couldn't get any further.
     I do not use any of the meal shakes which I think some people use.
     I am very happy with this program, but I will say that it takes determination and commitment. It isn't always easy to consume such a lower caloric intake than I am used to, especially when going out to eat or to the movies, but thinking and planning ahead can help with that.
     I have been really hungry at different times during the first week, but since I am seeing results, I can deal with the temporary and occasional hunger pangs.
     The weekly injections ( I have had 2 so far ) are painless. I have noticed more energy than normal, especially the first day after injection. There is some swelling under the skin at the injection site, but it isn't painful any more than a mild bruise would be, and fades fairly fast.
     I am keeping a daily food diary, which has been necessary in order for me to keep up with my calories. I meet with a nutritionist again at my 2 week appointment next week.
     The only negative thing I am experiencing is some aching in my hips and legs, which is from the rapid weight loss. Fat holds toxins, so you can be sore and/or achy when the fat is released into the body for excretion. It's the same kind of aching or soreness people get after a first massage, and I expect it to get better after this initial couple of weeks of fast weight loss. The injections contain vitamins and amino acids to aid with the effects of and assist the weight loss.
     I am looking forward to seeing what week 2 will bring. People have already noticed something different and have told me that I look amazing. All my size 14 pants are getting too big and I expect to fit easily into a size 12 by the end of this week. I was able to easily pull on and button a pair of my friends' size 12 capri pants yesterday and couldn't believe it.
     Let me know if this helps at all or if you have any other questions.

2. QUESTION:
   Which will aid faster in weight loss - slim fast or green tea?
   Besides good, consistent workouts (cardio and resistance training) and a balanced diet (with plenty of water), which one of these two will aid in speeding up the weight loss process and how long? Slim fast or green tea?

   I've never had slim fast but just curious about it and green tea.... does it really work?

   • ANSWER:
     The best way to lose weight is through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant that can aid in weight loss by improving your metabolism, which in turn allows your body to burn fat faster.

     It is usually recommended to drink 3-4 cups of Green Tea a day in order to receive its full health benefits. In Japan, we usually drink Green Tea together with our meals.

4. QUESTION:
   where can you buy the product acai slim(the weight loss tablets) in townsville, australia?
   i want to buy acai slim, which is a product containing acai berry and which is used for weight loss. I have searched the internet for places to buy it in the city of townsville, in australia, but i couldnt find any. Can anybody help me?

   • ANSWER:
     acai berry is all hype. Yes it has some health benefits, but its effects are GREATLY exaggerated by internet ads. If you want to try it thats fine. But dont expect some miracle weight loss. You need a good lower cal diet and lots of cardio to lose weight, pills or no pills.

     All the people who rave about it here are all spammers just trying to sell stuff. In fact theyre not even real people, its just spam bots.

6. QUESTION:
   Myoplex, Muscle Milk, or Slim Fast for weight loss due to hip and back problems?
   I am looking for a shake to drink about 3-4 times a day for weight loss. Due to hip and back problems, I am unable to workout the way I would like to and usually do on a regular. What would you recommend and how should I use the one you recommend? I've heard people talk about Muscle Milk, Myoplex Lite, and Slim Fast. Yes I already know working out and dieting work, but I need a recommendation for this. Thanks for the input.

   • ANSWER:
     I wouldn't drink the shakes more than twice a day. I can't tell from your question whether your expectations are realistic or not, so I hope I won't insult you with some really basic information.

     Drinking protein shakes doesn't magically make you lose weight. Replacing high calorie meals with lower calorie protein shakes can help you cut calories, though. Have a shake instead of breakfast, a shake with some soup for lunch, a normal light supper, and snack on fruit. Track your overall calories on a site like dailyplate.com.

     Muscle Milk (you'd want the Light version, the regular is high-fat) has a higher percentage of protein than slimfast (I'm not familiar with myoplex). That can help to keep you full longer and reduce your overall carb intake. But you want to be careful that no more than 30% of your calories are coming from protein (dailyplate makes it easy to track) because too much protein can cause illlness and even kidney failure!

7. QUESTION:
   what is the difference between slim fast weight loss shakes and the costco brand weight loss shakes?

   • ANSWER:
     the best way to lose weight is by eating well and doing regular workouts.

8. QUESTION:
   Can a hypo thyroid person take Himalayas Ayur Slim or Bio Slim tablets for weight loss?
   Can a hypo thyroid person take Himalayas Ayur Slim or Bio Slim tablets for weight loss?

   • ANSWER:
     No! Ugh... Don't pay attention to these advertisements! The best time to work out is early in the day. It jump starts your metabolism for the entire day. Try to elevate your heart rate for at least 30 mins a day/5 days a week. If you combine that with a diet that cuts out sugar, flour, and starchy foods, you will see the fat melt away. Just be patient and persistent, and I promise results. I lost nearly 100 lbs over 6 years ago, and never looked back. I still follow those simple rules, and maintain a very lean body. I know you want to believe there is a magic bullet, but it doesn't exist.

12. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever tried the weight loss pill "Slim Seduction" ?
    I'm interested to know if anyone has used it and if it works? and how much weight they lost in a week?
    i know that weight loss pills are a waste of money and that they can be very dangerous etc. so negative comments ok? thanks^^

    • ANSWER:
      I would advice to try a natural weight loss diet instead of taking the pills.

      May be a calorie shifting diet, which works by getting you to eat the right food at specific times of the day. Then by rotating it so that your metabolism never gets used to any routine.

      The higher your metabolism, the more you lose weight.

    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      NONE of them work, it's an expensive scam.
      They all advocate dietary and life style changes. If the pills were so wonderful would it be necessary to change diet, lifestyle?
      Think, save and make your own changes. There is masses of information on Y/A and on line.

14. QUESTION:
    How to loss weight?how to be slim?
    I am 13 years old,i am 5 feet tall and my weight is 44kg.Now i want to loss weight and get slim.Can someone tell me how to do that?please.

    • ANSWER:
      The only way is old fashioned exercise and diet. They go hand-in-hand, you won't lose weight if you don't do both together. Stay away from processed foods such as cookies, chips, candy, full-sugar soda, pastries, anything from fast food restaurants (except for salads but watch the dressing), basically anything with sugar and flour. Eat at least 5-6 small meals consisting of small portion meat (protein) and low starch vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, etc). Do a combination of cardio and strength training (weight lifting).

    shes now busy with the baby and she cannot go to the gym or anything cause shes a single mom and has lost her confidence due to weight gain..

    shes wants to try slimming pills. which ones are best. thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      None of those work they are just a quick fix or a scam
      Whatever eating habits you have it has taken you a lifetime to develop.
      There is no solution except to control your diet by controlling the foods you eat.
      you need to have a regular exercie regime
      And a diet that is writen by experts that is easy to follow as it is in point form.
      For a diet to work there has to be plenty of vareity in the meals or you will quickly lose interest.

      Crash diets are never successful because they are hard to maintain.
      They also slow the bodys metabolism rate as the body will lock into survival mode.
      When I started on my weightloss regime I had to realise that I had put on weight because of a lifetime of bad eating choices.

      Serious weight loss can only be achieved by giving your body the right types of calories at the correct times each day,

      Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.

      You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

      Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK.

      You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

      Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK.

      You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.
      If you're looking to get skinny then we have created an Online Diet Generator which can allow you to lose weight fast, and more importantly our diet generator is easy to use (and it calculates all of your meals for you, so that you don't have to do any work yourself).

17. QUESTION:
    Has anyone been successful in weight loss with slim fast??
    Tell me if this sounds like a pretty good weight loss plan, Drinking a slim fast (high protein) in the morning, and then eating a meal replacement, either slim fast or south beach diet(whichever is cheaper) and then eating normal, I always cook healthy for my family. I have a 4 yr. old and 2 yr. old twins so I do get excercise , but also I am thinking maybe 20 min. of "me time" for only excercise. Does that sound like a good plan, I really would like to lose 20 lbs. by about the end of August and then another 10 lbs. but I know that will be hard to lose, please tell me what you think. Thanks in advance!
    I forgot to add this, also eat fruit for a snack between meals.

    • ANSWER:
      Actually, I did pretty well on Slimfast and lost quite a bit. I think it worked best for me because I'm REALLY bad at trying to plan, so bring able to grab something and go worked well for me. Right now I have a shake for breakfast, low-fast yogurt mid morning, bar for lunch, apple mid afternoon, and a sensible dinner. I also try to exercise most days of the week.

      The only thing you have to deal with is either you're going to use it for a while (like me, who is still too lazy to plan a breakfast or lunch) or eventually you WILL have to learn how to prepare meals. So that is the only bad thing I can think of -- it's a bit of a crutch. But hell, most of the diet plans out there have crutches -- South Beatch, Atkins, Weight Watchers.

      So yeah, I like Slim Fast.

18. QUESTION:
    Does Slim Fast really work for weight loss?
    Summer is almost here, and i need to start losing some weight i gained during winter.
    Does Slim Fast work for weight loss?
    I take dance classes 5 times a week, for an hour each. So i'm not a couch potato.
    and i'm getting into more exercise routines starting this week.

    I heard and researched some things, and people said it works pretty good and it tastes pretty good to. Is that true? If not, is there any other weight loss shakes to try?

    • ANSWER:
      Did you know that surplus weight is not constantly thanks to surplus fat? There can be a great deal of additional weight just sitting around in the colon. The newest supplement can clean the colon and help you to reduce as much as twenty pounds, regularly from the waist (show me an individual who doesn't need to reduce some inches from their waist LOL!!). There is a risk free trial available at http://winets.wholeness2u.info I've been using it for three weeks now and it is certainly working!!

19. QUESTION:
    Can Someone Explain To Me The Weight Loss Pill "Slim Seduction"?
    Please don't tell me that weight loss pills are bad and can damage your health etc. i just want to know what that pill is about?

    • ANSWER:
      Slim Seduction purports to be a fat-burner, unfortunately this whole concept is an urban myth aimed at the desperate. Like all those that expect something to lose weight for them, not only are this poor gullible group doomed not to lose weight, but a recent study suggested that 2 in 3 of them actually just get heavier!

      The problem with your question is that if you look in "search for questions" it comes up 30 times every day. I have had some criticism for repeatedly using the same answer, but since I am happy with my answer, and the questions are the same, I don't see the issue with recycling the same answer.

      In practise for problems that came up on a regular basis we tended to use patient leaflets to avoid having to repeat ourselves this seemed a sensible use of resources. What follows is thus in effect me information leaflet.

      Weight loss and fitness is always a long term commitment and never a quick fix. If you really want to reduce your weight a bit, this is a complex regime, that should help, I would get a pencil to write it down, in case you forget any of the intricate details.

      Currently only using the criteria 'lose weight' there are 9,419 questions and answers on Answers already. Mis-spell it as 'loose weight' and you get another 2,633! 'Weight loss' will add another 1,883. 'Too fat ' 15,515 and 'overweight' 2,692 and 'over weight' 26,269!!!!!.

      'Diet Pills' gives 607, Green tea 482, Hoodia 195, 'pink patch' 119, 'Xenical' 91 'Reductil' 78, 'Slim fast' 215 (and Slimfast 69 ), lipotrim 44 and 'orlistat' 40 . Do you spot a pattern here? OMG that is 60,000 questions with the same basic theme, wanting to lose weight!

      Here comes the only answer, no tricks, no pills, no short cuts, If you really want to lose weight, loose weight, not be too fat or overweight, follow these instructions carefully:-

      1) Eat less
      2) Take regular vigorous exercise

      Repeat 1 + 2 forever

20. QUESTION:
    has anyone tried slim bomb weight loss pills?
    i have just sarted taking some weight loss pills called slim bomb. they were quite pricey and been on tehm for a week and nothing has happened. the suppress my appetite a bit but im constantly having hunger pangs. teh reviews i read reported people losing 6 pounds in the first week etc. im starting to think this was a waste of money. does anyone know any better dlimming pills ? or should i stick at it?

    • ANSWER:
      Sucker!! The diet industry makes millions from people's impatience.

      The time its taken you to pile it on is roughly the time it'll take you to work it back off! There are only two ways of shedding excessive body fat. One is by consuming fewer calories (i.e. eat less, and/or eat healthier). The other is by burning more calories (i.e. by being more active and exercising). Either way you have to generate a calorie deficit.

      Ignore everyone who wants to make you believe that stuff like Reductil or Hoodia works. Its a waste of money. There is no research supporting their clinical effectiveness whatsoever. With Reductil there have even been casualties and its under investigation. You can drink green tea til you're green in the face it'll make sod all difference! "Slim Bomb"... LOL... with a name like that did you really expect it to work??? Its a basic thermogenic... will do sod all for you unless you're a body builder or elite athlete with only the last percent of body fat to shift to get ripped. Doubt that's the case with you. You may lose a couple of pounds of fluids but no significant fat loss. Your "reviews" of losing 6 pounds per week, who wrote those? The manufacturers??? They make ridiculous claims. £40 for 160 pills... oh dear oh dear...

      Stay clear of pills and fad diets... Cabbage diet, egg diet, south beach diet, Atkins diet, low carbs, high protein, low cal bla bla bla... A HEALTHY BALANCED diet consists of lean protein such as fish or chicken breast, lots of fruit and vegetables; starchy foods such as wholegrain bread, brown pasta and brown rice; some nuts and seeds and is low in fat (especially saturated fat), salt and sugar. Cut out processed foods such as white bread. No pizza, microwaveable meals, burgers etc.

      Have 3 proper meals and two snacks (one mid morning, one afternoon). Chew properly. Never skip breakfast. Try not to eat after 7pm.

      There are 3500 calories per pound of body fat. So if you have a calorie deficit of 500 calories you would lose approximately one pound per week: (500 x 7 = 3,500) A calorie deficit of 1000 calories would therefore mean that you'd lose approximately two pounds per week (1000 x 7 = 7000). Two pounds a week is commonly accepted as the maximum rate of weight loss that is healthy.

      Find a sport or an exercise you enjoy. Start off with exercising 3x a week. Do a mix of aerobic and anaerobic cardiovascular exercises (running, cycling, rowing, boxing, cross trainer...). Aerobic you do for 30+mins at a manageable speed where you should be able to talk. This builds endurance. Anearobic you do speed intervals where you go flat out and then have recovery breaks where you let your heartrate come back down and go again. That builds stamina. You can do this while running, cross trainer, rowing, cycling. Both aerobic and anaerobic cardio burns fat, just in different ways. You'll also develop your slow twitch as well as you fast twitch muscle fibres that way.

      Think about it. Running burns 100 calories PER MILE!! If you run only 3 miles at a comfortable pace of a 10-minute/mile that's 300 calories gone just like that. Do that 3 times a week and you've already generated a calorie deficit of 900 calories by running alone.

      Also do weight bearing exercises, either resistance machines or free weights. Lean muscle mass is the best fat burner we have. Once you build muscle it wants to live and it'll increase your basal metabolic rate even when resting.

      When you change your lifestyle and "healthy" becomes a habit, you won't just be one of the January New Years Resolution statistics who lost a couple of pounds quickly and put on 5 pounds by Valentines day.

21. QUESTION:
    Naturally Slim weight loss too quick?
    Either I am dieing or this program works really well. I'm not promoting it, check the title if your interested, but the program has had me lose nearly 80 pounds over the past year. It's almost become too easy. Is 80 pounds lost indicative of trouble or success? No pills, no magic, just portion control, no sugar and I drink an orange juice/water beverage. I keep thinking my weight loss will normalize at 167 pounds but still I lose more weight every week. I weigh less then I did in the Army 20 years ago. Normal?

    • ANSWER:
      Losing up to 8 - 10 pounds in a month is normal and healthy. So, if you have lost 80 pounds in one year (i.e. 12 months), its totally normal and healthy.

      P.S. If you are feeling fatigue or dizzy, then, consult a doctor.

22. QUESTION:
    Which is more effective than Quick Slim(Weight Loss-30)?
    which one is better for weight loss? Weight Loss-30 or Quick Slim, or others?
    I tried Weight Loss-30 which is certified by FDA approval(Food & Drug Administration of US), it is very effective, within one month, i lost 28 pounds. I recommend all interested go to visit: www.goquickslim.com. Keep Slim, Keep Healthy.

    • ANSWER:
      Listen, I wish you all the success if this is what you choose to do but remember a couple of things. There is no easy way to weight loss or weight maintenance. It takes dedication, committment and for many serious lifestyle changes.

      Here is a plan I used and got great results. Committment, dedication and total change of behaviour, it's a big ask and people don't understsand that it is really hard but once you are in the zone you can do this.

      If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem.

      Here are the golden rules:
      Initially cut down to 1200 calories.
      Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved.
      Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
      Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
      Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
      Never eat dinner after 6pm.
      Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
      Make low fat dairy choices

      Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
      Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
      20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
      fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
      Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
      Lunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
      Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
      Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
      Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

      Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

      Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

      To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again.

      Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

23. QUESTION:
    when will i see weight loss and a slim tone body?
    I've been working out for 2 weeks and i have only lost 1lb. I do cardio 6 days a week for about 45min on an eliptical and weight training 3 days a week. I intake about 1500 calories. I'm 5'10 and 153lbs. I was hoping to lose 10lbs and tone up all my flab by thanksgiving but i see that won't happen. So my next goal is atleast early dec.

    • ANSWER:
      your body LOVES you for what your doing so please dont try to force it to do anything, 2 weeks is no time at all but i'de say after 2 months you will see a difference.. take one of those cardio days off because the extra one is over working yourself...especially with such a limited diet. remember that carbs are your best friend while active, fat your worst enemy (saturated at least), and protein in moderation because you want to maintain lean mass

26. QUESTION:
    Do the slim fast or weight watchers shakes work to kick start weight loss?
    I know.....I know I have to change my lifestyle in order to lose weight, and I have a pretty good start, but have not seen any results. I have pretty much cut out fast food and junk foods. I eat salads, fresh fruits and veggies a lot more than before. I am drinking water like crazy and am exercising moderately by walking, bike riding or tennis daily. I have started lifting light weights and doing sit ups/crunches. I just want to jump start and see some results within 2 weeks. I have been doing so for about 3 weeks already. Do you think two weeks of shakes is OK and will it help? I would love to drop about 10 pound in 2 weeks. ( I started about 3 weeks ago) I am open to all forms of sincere advice. Thanks.

      They do to an extent, if you use them 2x per day with a healthy dinner it will shrink your stomach...however they have a lot of calories, you could have some cereal, coffee and fruit for the same calories (measure the cereal and use skim milk)
      I lost some weight with them...but don't rely on them for a long time.
      watch what fruit you are eating some are fattening, don't have juice!
      Good luck, it's hard.

27. QUESTION:
    Slim For Life Weight Loss Program?
    I have been considering going to meet with an agent of slim for life weight loss and was curious of people's feeling towards the program. Is it a version of the South Beach diet, do they give you pills, or a variation of both?

    • ANSWER:
      Save your cash and diet simply:

      Your body needs a certain amount of fuel (food) each day to stay alive and do any exercise/activities that you're involved in. If you give it slightly less than it needs, it'll burn fat to make up the difference. If you give it way less than it needs, you'll go into starvation mode and lose nothing.

      Count your calories. Know how many you need each day to lose weight, track how many extra calories you burn with exercise, and know how many calories and in the food you eat. You can do all of that here:

29. QUESTION:
    had anyone tryed medi slim weight loss pills?
    if so did they work for you? how fast did you see results?

    • ANSWER:
      I just started on the MediSlim program a week ago yesterday. I know you said “not the pills’, and I am supposing you mean the appetite suppressant.

      I am taking the appetite suppressant. I started with half a tablet daily for a week and then one table daily since then. I had lost 5 pounds at my first appointment at one week and have been thrilled so far.

      I do not use any of the meal shakes which I think some people use.

      It isn’t always easy to consume such a lower caloric intake than I am used to, especially when going out to eat or to the movies, but thinking and planning ahead can help with that.

      I have been really hungry at different times during the first week, but since I am seeing results, I can deal with the temporary and occasional hunger pangs.

      I tried The 30 Day Rapid Fat Loss Program and it really works! , i do not need any pills anymore

    just want to know has anyone out there tryed acai slim for weight loss and did it work?

    • ANSWER:
      Many contributors to these pages have reported that all they lost was money.
      It's useless.
      "There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that açai pills will help shed pounds, flatten tummies, cleanse colons, enhance sexual desire, or perform any of the other commonly advertised functions. And thousands of consumers have had trouble stopping recurrent charges on their credit cards when they cancel their free trials."

36. QUESTION:
    Is it safe to use slim fast when breastfeeding? Or other weight loss food?
    I just had my second child and am wanting to lose weight. I don't have alot of free time to exercise. Also I am breastfeeding and don't want anything that will hurt my baby. Are there any quick exercises I can do at home that will get results?

    • ANSWER:
      Breast feeding alone helps you lose weight. You don't really want to try slim fast right now or any heavy exerscice program, your bodies needs alot of calories to produce breast milk. I would suggest getting a pilates video, they have ones that have 10 minutes of excercising then you can stop and continue later. Very nice for a busy mom. After you wean do the slim fast thing add some high engery cardio, and some sort of resistence training, all of this you can do at home.

      Good luck, congrats on the baby, and cheers

    Slim fast weight loss question?
    I need to lose 19 pounds. I do not need lectured about how slim fast is bad for you. How can I lose this weight fast. It is very important to me. With it being so cold I can not walk much. Please people who did slimfast what did you do and how much did you lose?

    • ANSWER:
      I was 5'2 an I weighted 145lbs
      In 3.5 months I lost 32 lbs
      Im not sure how much you can lose though
      Slimfast shakes also have a weird after taste so dont go and buy two Boxes of them and then decide you dont like them.
      Also, so your diet doesn't get boring I would suggest combining it with Special K diet. Its taster mixing the two givens you more snacking opportunity's.

      Hope This Helped

    Slim Fast. Im trying to loss weight?
    Trying to loss weight Is Slim Fast Good For You to Loss Weight.

    • ANSWER:
      I gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks with Slim Fast.

      So I modified it and drank only two shakes a day and didn't bother eating...the third week I gained 5 pounds.

      Some people claim it works, but I've never actually seen it.

39. QUESTION:
    Do slim fast shakes help with weight loss?
    I want a flat tummy before summer starts so I can wear my new bikini. I have good figure its just my stomach that is chubby. I was thinking about trying slim fast. Did it work for you? What else can I do to get my tummy flat.

    • ANSWER:
      Ok I was doing slim fast for a while and it can help if you are strict... i mean strict... and if you exercise with it it helps more. BUT you have to be eating really healthy snacks and dinner. Also, everyone is different and have different diet needs so if you have any health issues then there might be better diets out there. From my experience... dealing with insulin resistance (makes it impossible to lose weight) it can work. Good luck!

40. QUESTION:
    Slim fast diet - how much weight loss in two weeks?
    I have two weeks to lose weight, and I've decided to go on the Slim Fast diet. If you've had experience of this diet, could you tell me how it worked out, and how much weight you lost in the first two weeks and then overall?
    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Surprisingly when Slimfast was looked at in a controlled study it came out better than expected with weight loss that was to some extent maintained after the patient moved back to a more normal diet. There are plenty of low calorie snacks available these days, including some from Slimfast. Be wary of fruit as it is often both high calorie and high sugar, but do ensure that you eat your 5 a day. Take regular vigorous exercise as well and you might lose as much as 4-5 lbs in the first 2 weeks, though weight loss slows down after that and 2-3 lbs a month is sustainable.

    Nano Slim Weight Loss?
    Hi,
    I was thinking about starting to take Nano Slim to lose some weight, and was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback.
    I would prefer answers from people who have TRIED nanoslim before.

    I heard that it makes your heart race, and gives you hot and cold flashes.. Is this just from the amount of caffiene thats in it?

    Also,
    I heard that it willonly help you lose a few pounds, maybe 10 at the most.
    Which is fine, because that is all that im looking at.

    Any other feedback? Much appreciated!

43. QUESTION:
    is anyone on celebrity slim diet?? How is your weight loss on it?

    For anyone that says it doesn't work, i have lost just over a stone so far. Apart from that it has taught me about portion sizes and eating smaller meals through out the day. I can definitely say that it has changed the way i eat and i will never go back to the way i was eating before. I have previously tried weight watchers(3 times) and tried to eat healthy but always slipped back into my old routine. This is the first thing that worked for me.

    • ANSWER:
      You know I've tried the celebrity slim diet. It definitely does work, but I have heard varying testimonials about its longevity. Of course, there's no magic spell, no weight vanishing tricks. All you can do is stay committed, focused and disciplined! Also, I would advise you to talk to an expert. For that, I would direct your attention to an incredible, and highly acclaimed service called LivePerson. Check it out!

      http://www.liveperson.com/

      Really a great website, and talking to these experts made such an effort that I've joined a team of people spreading the word about LivePerson and all it has to offer. This site has helped so many people, including me, and hopefully it'll help you too. Good luck!!

44. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried slim bomb weight loss pills?
    do they work? i am considering buying some

    do you know of any good weight loss pills?

    thanks x

    • ANSWER:
      The time its taken you to pile it on is roughly the time it'll take you to work it back off! There are only two ways of shedding excessive body fat. One is by consuming fewer calories (i.e. eat less, and/or eat healthier). The other is by burning more calories (i.e. by being more active and exercising). Either way you have to generate a calorie deficit.

      Ignore everyone who wants to make you believe that stuff like Reductil or Hoodia works. Its a waste of money. There is no research supporting their clinical effectiveness whatsoever. With Reductil there have even been casualties and its under investigation. You can drink green tea til you're green in the face it'll make sod all difference! "Slim Bomb"... LOL... with a name like that did you really expect it to work??? Its a basic thermogenic... will do sod all for you unless you're a body builder or elite athlete with only the last percent of body fat to shift to get ripped. Doubt that's the case with you. You may lose a couple of pounds of fluids but no significant fat loss. Your "reviews" of losing 6 pounds per week, who wrote those? The manufacturers??? They make ridiculous claims. £40 for 160 pills... oh dear oh dear...

      Stay clear of pills and fad diets... Cabbage diet, egg diet, south beach diet, Atkins diet, low carbs, high protein, low cal bla bla bla... A HEALTHY BALANCED diet consists of lean protein such as fish or chicken breast, lots of fruit and vegetables; starchy foods such as wholegrain bread, brown pasta and brown rice; some nuts and seeds and is low in fat (especially saturated fat), salt and sugar. Cut out processed foods such as white bread. No pizza, microwaveable meals, burgers etc.

      Have 3 proper meals and two snacks (one mid morning, one afternoon). Chew properly. Never skip breakfast. Try not to eat after 7pm.

      There are 3500 calories per pound of body fat. So if you have a calorie deficit of 500 calories you would lose approximately one pound per week: (500 x 7 = 3,500) A calorie deficit of 1000 calories would therefore mean that you'd lose approximately two pounds per week (1000 x 7 = 7000). Two pounds a week is commonly accepted as the maximum rate of weight loss that is healthy.

      Find a sport or an exercise you enjoy. Start off with exercising 3x a week. Do a mix of aerobic and anaerobic cardiovascular exercises (running, cycling, rowing, boxing, cross trainer...). Aerobic you do for 30+mins at a manageable speed where you should be able to talk. This builds endurance. Anearobic you do speed intervals where you go flat out and then have recovery breaks where you let your heartrate come back down and go again. That builds stamina. You can do this while running, cross trainer, rowing, cycling. Both aerobic and anaerobic cardio burns fat, just in different ways. You'll also develop your slow twitch as well as you fast twitch muscle fibres that way.

      Think about it. Running burns 100 calories PER MILE!! If you run only 3 miles at a comfortable pace of a 10-minute/mile that's 300 calories gone just like that. Do that 3 times a week and you've already generated a calorie deficit of 900 calories by running alone.

      Also do weight bearing exercises, either resistance machines or free weights. Lean muscle mass is the best fat burner we have. Once you build muscle it wants to live and it'll increase your basal metabolic rate even when resting.

      When you change your lifestyle and "healthy" becomes a habit, you won't just be one of the January New Years Resolution statistics who lost a couple of pounds quickly and put on 5 pounds by Valentines day.

45. QUESTION:
    Has any one ever tried the Ultra slim tea to loss weight? If so is it a healthy way to loss weight?
    i purchased it from an organic store and today is my 3rd day using it . ive notice that every time i eat it makes me go poop but kinda like a diarrhea way

    • ANSWER:
      To lose weight and keep it off, you need to eat right and exercise. Any supplements or gimmicks are either going to give you temporary results, or no results at all. Save your money next time...any weight you loose from using the toilet, will come back once you start having normal bowel movements again.

46. QUESTION:
    What is the best protein powder, available in stores for weight-loss, that is NOT Slim-fast?

47. QUESTION:
    Do all these green tea slim products actually have any weight loss attributes?
    Am I just getting another boost of energy?

    • ANSWER:
      To use just green tea as the silver bullet to lose weight is not realistic. Green tea and green tea extract as fat burners may help you accelerate your metabolism. If you add to that mix regular aerobic and weight training then you may burn some extra calories, and if you add to that mix a good nutritional diet and keep your calories under control then you should be able to see some results faster. Good luck.

50. QUESTION:
    Why is Slim Milk good for weight loss?
    What's different abput it then normal milk.

    • ANSWER:
      low fat or slim milk is 2% or less. Regular milk is 3.5% which is very little difference in fat content but very much in flavor content.

      The fat in milk helps it to have a better flavor than the low fat or slim milk has. Fats also tend to help one feel fuller sooner, so one doesn't over eat as much.

      Any milk is good for weight loss as long as one doesn't over indulge in it. A serving is 8 ounces or one cup measurement.
