Thinking of changing to slim fast HELP??

[shazzy_shaz]

Huh? :/

On slim n save their meals come in a pack (like a shake) but then you add water, put in the microwave and it mixes into a mousse like consistency so it's almost like a solid meal... They had a cottage pie flavour and it tasted like a real cottage pie!

[Nath93]

Do you think I should change to slim and save then?

[Lily]

Oh so I'm only aloud 3 a day as I'm only 5'6 ahh

You're not a guy then? Men need to be on 4 packs a day.

[shazzy_shaz]

I guess from the expense side it makes sense if that's what's concerning you but I know I need someone to have a go at me at a weigh in otherwise I can cheat and won't feel so bad as there's no facing a judge at a weigh in

[Lily]

Um, Slim and Save is not the same as Slim Fast. Thought p'raps I'd better make that clear. Slim and Save is another VLCD, SlimFast isn't.

[Nath93]

I'm a guy but I'm only 5'6 so apparently I'm only aloud 3 products per day?? Slim and save seems the same only cheeper than cambridge

Oh yeah I assumed he'd know that hence the huh! Slim FAST is ironic as the sugar content in those shakes will mean you'll never get into ketosis and over 200kcal a shake I can't imagine anyone losing weight on it!

Men need 4 packs a day, regardless of whether you are 2ft 6 or 6ft 2. If your consultant is not telling you this I would seriously consider reporting them

Nope. You should be on 4 packs.

The link Chlo gives you says:

Sole Source® and Sole Source Plus® are only suitable for those with a BMI of 25 plus a stone.
What do you eat?
If you choose the Sole Source® programme you will consume three Cambridge Weight Plan products in place of conventional food. For men, or women above 5ft 8ins (1.73m), four Cambridge Weight Plan products must be eaten. Sole Source® is ideal for people who prefer a period of time away from the temptations of conventional food.

See, that's why this has become confused - Nath's original question was about SlimFast and Celebrity Slim. Not Slim and Save.

Hear hear.

Speak to some people on the slim n save forum, or even pop into boots and grab a few celebrity skim products to see if you like/ can live on them for a few months... You can buy them individually too which my sister says is handy if she's out and has forgotten her products!

But isn't Celebrity Slim like SlimFast in that you have two shakes and a balanced meal? It's not designed to be a complete meal replacement diet I don't think.

[Nath93]

I'm not above 5'8 I'm only 5'6 that's why I was told only 3 a day

Hear hear.

I've spotted the confusion part 2, it read the same for me: for both men or women over 5'8 they should be on 4 packs but it should be ALL men (regardless of height) on 4 packs a day! But if its the expense side switch to a cheaper VLCD!

[Starlit_Cazza]

I'm not above 5'8 I'm only 5'6 that's why I was told only 3 a day

But you are a man, so you need 4 packs a day, and your Consultant knows that

hmmm honestly I don't know as i assumed my sister was doing it correctly! She's using it as a complete replacement plan! I know she's amazed at my weight loss and wants the same! I'm going to research it now I hope shes doing it right! :/
