Hi guys,
I'm new to posting on Mini Mins although have looked at various boards over the years.
I've done Slim Fast a few times, both a few years ago when I was bigger and a couple of times in the past couple of years, so I'm familiar with the plan and how it works.
The question I have is - how long can you sustain following the plan? I ask because I have no problems for normally 5-6 days, and then I start to feel exhausted and wobbly, and have to take a "day off". When I was bigger this was about 10 days ish, but I've only 10lb to lose at the moment and I've done 5 full days then felt so exhausted this morning I had to eat to feel like I could function.
I enjoy the diet, it fits in well with my lifestyle and I get good results, and I'm doing it properly - shake for breakfast, snack, meal bar for lunch, snack, 600 cal meal and normally another snack. I'm doing 30 mins of moderate exercise a day burning only about 200 cal, and spend my day sat at a desk so I'm not burning masses of calories.
So, bit of a long post just to ask that pretty simple question, but would welcome your thoughts!
Thanks,
Hannah
