I've been on the Slim-Fast 1-2-3 Plan consuming their new shakes that allow you to take them with you along with the meal bars and snacks going on my third week.  To date, I've lost six pounds on a very easy diet plan that still provides food that is not only Slim-Fast based and I get a sensible meal that focuses on vegetables, lean protein and a whole wheat starch.  Sounds smart doesn't it?  It's a very easy and an extremely tasty way to lose weight.  I'm a huge chocolate fan and the chocolate shakes are my crutch to get over the calorie counting since they replace meals but are very satisfying.  They report that they curtail hunger for up to four hours.  I think the average is three but by the time I'm feeling hungry again, it's time for a snack.

 

It's a great plan of breakfast and lunch with a shake or meal bar, a sensible dinner and three snacks in between.  I've read many times how this is a great approach to keeping your body going with smaller snacks through the day.  Your snacks can be their snacks or you can pop in some almonds, an apple or something from the big list of recommendations.  The online support is just as good.  You can track your progress, the calorie intake, exercise, water and find great recipes and tips.  It's an all in one great way to lose weight and get healthier.  The food choices are healthy ways to change behaviors and changing the behavior is the long term key in keeping the weight off.

I tend to run my errands during the morning and when I want to get moving, I just grab a shake and go.  It's so easy and again, so tasty.  They even have a low carb alternative for those watching carbs too.  My store didn't sell them so I wasn't able to try those.  I know the Milk Chocolate and Rich Chocolate Royale are amazing.  They are rich, chocolaty and taste like chocolate with no bad after taste. They are filling and take the cravings away for chocolate.  I also tried the Chocolate Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and the Chewy Chocolate Crisp meal bars and they are like eating a candy bar.  For those of us that are chocolate addicts, it's really the diet for them.  My goal is to lose the weight I want and to continue learning to choose healthy snacks and sensible meals.
