Re: Slimfast supplements used wisely with BFL works for me!!

[Guest guest]

Why? Sugar content..majority of the carbs in SlimFast come from

sugar..and sugar is a direct fatloss inhibitor...drinking Slimfasts

are basically 'working for you' now because you are still creating a

caloric deficit (calories in = calories out) - so it may be working

for you now to use these but in the longrun it may not..in general

too for a 'meal replacement' it is too low in protein and the protein

in it comes from soy and not whey..everyone is different..do what

works for you but the concensus in general is that SlimFast is more

like SlimFAT..

<<joni>>

*who thinks a 5lb container of whey protein powder is still probably

cheaper per serving than SLimfast and probably better for you*

[Guest guest]

That may be true, but until they stop working, I'm definitely

enjoying the money I'm saving. This is my second challenge utilizing

slimfast products with bfl, and if you multiply that times eas

prices, I say, Kudos to slimfast. When I stop seeing progress I'll

switch. However, I truly don't think substituting slimfast any

products for 1 or 2 meals won't do harm. The funny part is that my

sister started with me using eas supplements, and I mean the works,

betagen, phenfree, myoplex shakes and bars. The funny part is that

she hasn't gained as much muscle, or lost as much fat as I, and we

both started with similar fat percentages ect. I suppose it is a

personal thing, but boy am I happy to save money and seeing the same

and almost better results than those I've seen taking high priced

supplements. The bottom line is this: If I'm gaining muscle, losing

fat, and not noticing a drop in insulin or excessive cravings, I

don't see any reason to go bankrupt on high priced supplements. ---

Well I suppose if you add extra protein without carbs to that

slimfast shake it's not that bad, but I would think that myoplex bars

have a lot less sugar than those slimfast cookie dough bars.

Well there really isn't that much of a difference in the bars, here

are the stats,

Myoplex Lite Bar vs Slimfast Dough Bar

Calories Myoplex 190 Slimfast 220

Fat Myoplex 3.5g Slimfast 5g

Sugars Myoplex 15g Slimfast 20g

Choles Myoplex <5mg Slimfast <5 mg

Carbs Myoplex 28g Slimfast 36g

Sodium Myoplex 190mg Slimfast 160 mg

Fiber Myoplex 1g Slimfast 2g

Protein Myoplex 15g Slimfast 8g

I usually add extra protiein to a shake or meals later in the day to

balance out the few grams of protein missing in this bar, or eat a

piece of chicken or quality protein with with the bar.

Good for you for being brave enough to try them out! I have always read that

they are full of sugar and compare to eating Snickers bars, etc. I still won't

ever use them, but it's nice to hear a testimony from someone who actually has

and is successful!

Slimfast supplements used wisely with

BFL works for me!!

I use the following slimfast supplements for three of my daily meals:

Chocolate slim fast shake

220 calories

40 grams carbs

10 grams protein

5 grams fat

* I usually add 1/2 scoop of plain protein powder....or take the

shake alone and lower my carbs for one meal.

Cookie Dough Slim Fast bars

220 calories

36 grams carbs

8 grams protein

5 grams fat

* I don't worry about the 15 grams of protein I'm missing here

because I make up for it in other meals, or I have a small piece of

chicken with eggwhites with the bar.

I've been taking slimfast supplements and following bfl in every

other aspect, and I'm gaining muscle, losing 1 1/2 - 2 pounds of fat

every week like clock work.

I usually eat every two hours, so although slimfast products may not

hold off hunger as long as barley and tuna...they keep me very

satisfied for the 2-3 hours between meals and I don't experience

hunger or insulin drops.

Eas supplements are just to darn expensive.....I want to lose

fat...but don't want to be in shape and bankrupt...lol. In contrast,

slimfast supplements are affordable and easy to find.

My question: Why are a lot of people so against slimfast? Is this

because eas/bfl advises against them(understanably), or is it based

on experience from using these supplements " wisely " . As long as I

don't exceed my protein, carb, and fat requirements for the ENTIRE

day, what's wrong with taking slimfast products in between my other

three meals? Had I not taken a chance I would have never known that I

could lose fat steadily on SF supplements. Two of my other co-workers

are combining slimfast products with bfl and also have great success.

p.s. This is my 10th week and so far I've lost 21 pounds of fat, and

gained over 8 pounds of muscle.

Also, you don't 'have' to use bars/shakes, but if they are working

for you, than go for it. I'm on a tight tight tight budget right now

and find that buying " regular foods " is a lot cheaper for me at the

moment.

Thanks for the comments on my transformation! You know, I never had a sweet

tooth until I started BFL! I was a grease and salt girl. Now all I want on

free day is Butterfinger bars. During the week I eat a lot of fruit (like 4 to

5 pieces a day) and I often make Raylene's snackin protein jello which tastes

great for something sweet. I do also use a protein bar (about 1 a day max)

which is chocolat-ey.

I haven't tried that snackin jello yet, but I keep hearing a lot

about it. Maybe I'll whip up a serving this weekend. I notice that my

tastes are changing a little also. I've always craved sugar, but

never salt, and lately I've had a taste for salty foods. I think the

body craves a little of everything, and when it's denied completely

it eventually finds a way to get what it wants.

Have you been to Mrs. Bishwit's site yet? I LOVE her recipe for

Peanut Butter Protein Cups (I think that's the name, you'd think I'd

have it memorized by now I eat it so often!). Here's a link to her

site in case you haven't been there (Great recipes)
