Hey all, firstly I hope you're all seeing good results so far on your SF journeys!
Secondly, I re-started Slim Fast today! But I have a few concerns... does anyone find that Slim Fast shakes upset their tummy a bit? I've had digestive problems in the past, mild cases of IBS and such, and these days, SF shakes give me *that* feeling... bloaty discomfort and other such side-effects... understandably it's a feeling I'd very much like to avoid! But I'm determined to lose weight in a structured manner and SF has worked well for me in the past...
I use the powdered form, as I'm mildly lactose intolerant, and by making the shakes myself I can add soya milk instead. A few times I've made the shakes in a blender, and I worried that maybe I was filling the shakes with "air" and that was what was causing the discomfort/bloating.
Does anyone else have any similar problems with SF? Should I keep on using the shakes anyway in the hopes that my digestive system becomes accostomed? I did SF for a year, four years ago (wow, time flies...) and I never noticed feeling this way, though I did develop IBS related problems a while after I finished doing Slim Fast.
Anyone else had similar experiences? Or is it just me?
