Only if you are actually using more calories than you consume. You'll notice the marketing is carefully worded
"has been SHOWN to assist with both weight loss and weight maintenance "
No need to spend money on any products; just eat less calories than you use and take some excercise. |

As said above.... Exercise is the key to any weight loss. Skip breakfast and jog a lap of your local park every other evening, You'll soon notice a difference!
Good luck

It would work on making your stomach slimmer if you have a 'pot belly'. Because there'd be less bulk in your intestines.
An ex lost some weight a few years ago using it but it's gone back on by now. |

Not really. Intermittent fasting is a great way to burn fat and that involves skipping breakfast and sometimes lunch too!!! |

Breakfast, lunch and dinner healthy light meals. With each meal drink a pint of water, cut portion size and plenty of exercise. I find I loose more weight when I do eat breakfast and cut out snacking in between meals x |

Intermittent is not every day though? That 5:2 diet is like that I suppose. Most people who don't have a healthy breakfast usually end up eating a high sugar filled snack later. |

Intermittent fasting is also only eating for example between 2pm and 8pm. So you get your full days nutrition in those hours (not just 500 cals like on 5/2) and then dont eat again till 2pm the next day. I do it often. It works well. You just burn fat for energy the rest of the time as there's no food to use for fuel. |

to burn fat in that instance wouldnt you first have to use up and deplete all your glycogen stores first ? The body stores glycogen as fuel for energy as far as i am aware it doesnt use food as a source directly. |

I cut out all the classic white carbs - bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, anything with flour in. I've lost more than two stone and even when I get indulgent it's not really going back on.
It is however something of a diet shift as I will be avoiding most white carbs for good now, but a bit of thought and it's possible. I do still eat some huge and very satisfying meals. I had a delicious steak at the weekend just served with salad.
When I do indulge in white carbs now I can't eat anywhere as much as I used to and feel bloated afterwards. |

Throw that shit in the bin. Each shake has about 34 grams of sugar in it. Two shakes will take you over your daily sugar allowance. It's sugar that makes you fat not fat.
You can do the same premise of slim fast, 2 shakes a day then a proper dinner but buy protein instead, much less sugar and more protein per serving. Try a whey isolate for fat loss, less carbs, fat and lactose per serving.
I honestly wouldn't use that slim fast shit. They shouldn't be allowed to market themselves as a dietary product when each shake has more sugar in it than a can of . |

Move more and eat more veg. The more colourful your plate of food the better the balance of nutrients.
But slimfast is full of all kinds of additives, sugar, sweeteners and bulking agents. And what happens when you reach your target weight? If you stop the slimfast you may well put it all back on again.
Far better to make sustainable dietary changes that you can keep up. I went out for two meals this weekend and both times ate off the menu, no fuss or bother and others were looking at my food and wanting to try it and disbelieving that I'm on a diet! The only special request I made was no potatoes with my Sunday lunch - lots of veg and meat and it was delicious. |

Must be typing with my invisible font today. Just explained what you can replace the slim fast shakes with, and in detail too, there's 100's of different proteins on the market but for fat loss goals you'd be better off with whey isolate.
Download the my fitness pal app on your phone. Type in your weight and your goals. To lose weight you need to create a calorie deficit. If you eat 2,500 calories a day reduce it to 2000 but don't starve yourself by having 1 banana for breakfast and a bloody cereal bar for lunch because that will actually slow your metabolism down and make your body hold onto fat. Log everything that passes your lips on the my fitness pal app, stay within your daily calorie allowance and go for foods that are low in sugar. Easiest way to do that is by buying fresh ingredients and preparing meals yourself. |

Ive lost 4 stone and not worried about portion sizes at all. I only eat lean protein (any meat with the fat off) fish, eggs, skimmed milk, a bit of cheese here and there, tonnes of green leafy veg and salad and the odd bit of fruit. No Bread, pasta, potato. Avoid sugar at all costs. Evil stuff.
Ive been there done that with slim fast and cabbage soup diets, drinking maple syrup and cayenne pepper and most other things, can honestly say I eat more now than ever and am much healthier, fitter and happier than ive ever been  |

The evidence supports a combined diet and exercise plan for sustained weight loss success. As others say, if you consume less calories than you use, you should lose weight. But a lower weight reduces your basal metabolic rate, so your daily requirements fall - something of a moving target.
Plan for long term adherence to a programme that modifies consumption and activity levels, as short term fixes are easily lost. |

Get a change of diet and lifestyle, if you are looking to lose weight and dont waste you money flip flopping through 'diets' that once you come off them, your metabolism isn't used to processing carbs / sugars so will just pile the lb's back on as soon as you touch them. |

Except skipping breakfast makes you put on weight as your body then stores anything it can get hold of.
Eating breakfast kick-starts your metabolism in the mornings. Don't skip it. |

and as far as complex carbs / starches things that the body will store and turn into sugars. It will not be used to it, and you'll find you'll increase weight rapidly as a result. Slim fast essentially fill you up, though are not a staple food source so cannot be used long term. If they can't be used long term then there is no point in using them, you might as well take the healthy option, save money and change your eating habits / change your lifestyle, once you make the decision that you need to change. Fad diets make you feel more uncomfortable / body conscious about yourself I think. |

"So if I cut the slimfast out and have salad with tuna/chicken.. Would that be an healthier option? "
Of course it would.
It's not difficult, just eat little and often and don't eat crap, fill up on fruit and veg (preferably consume most of your fruit in the mornings), excercise more and drink more water.
You'll do much better long term than with that crap.  |

just doing this will work wonders - the slim fast has fuck all nutrition imo. decent fruit each day, nuts, fish, eggs, a nice steak once or twice a week. A a good support trainer. If you wanted, you can buy small weights that go around the ankles, though I would leave this until you are used to the walk. |

Tuna, chicken, Turkey, egg, green salad, spinach, rocket, that sort of stuff. Stay away from fatty dressings like Mayo and get some fat free stuff.
Read the ingredients of everything!! Better yet don't eat anything that has an ingredient list. Fresh meat, fish, fruit, veg, eggs!
Get my fitness pal and log everything you eat. Aim for maybe 1800 cals a day Id say unless your really really active. Don't get the calories from shit food! Trust me you'll notice the difference straight away. And steer clear of sugar! The stuff is the devil! |

Slimfast winds me up summat chronic - taking advantage of desperate people and not teaching them how to eat properly. Fuck Slimfast and fuck people who endorse this joke of a product. Replacing actual meals with poorly-satiating high sugar foods ffs it's ridiculous. |

It does work short term but as soon as you stop using it, the weight goes straight back on. Best bet is to eat as you do normally but just cut your portion sizes down, simple things like walking for 30 mins on your dinner break etc help free up a few calories as well so you can still have a little treat every now and then. |

Beans and pulses will fill you up very satisfyingly but are low fat high protein and really good for you.
I started by cutting all the white carbs, now I occasionally have them but find I don't eat as much as I used to. Even if I have a plateful of chips I only eat a few as I feel fuller more quickly.
Learn to know when you're full and stop eating then. Eat more slowly and chew thoroughly. We eat far more out of habit or to clear our plates than we actually need. |

Combine diet changes with more exercise.
As you lose weight, your body will have a lower basal metabolic rate. So reduce your intake again, just to stay at the same weight - so cut some more out, to continue your loss.
As long as your diet is healthy and balanced, the food choice is yours op. |

"Get in the right frame of mind
Eat smaller bites, chew and when full stop!
Even if you are a fancy restaurant and eat and are full, don't binge or gorge just stop
"
Don't be embarrassed to ask for a doggie bag in restaurants! Most places will happily wrap up any leftovers and you get to enjoy your meal again.
I eat out all over the place and have no problems. I simply order meat with salad or just veggies and ask that they leave the potatoes off. I even eat at carverys and have everything but the potatoes. Although I find Yorkshire puddings hard to resist  but there have to be some treats as long as they're occasional. |
