 Good and inexpensive way to lose weight September 5, 2010
Daniel Munoz
I have only tried the chocolate flavor and I believe it to taste pretty good. I have no complaints there. I like the fact that the six-pack comes out to about $5.99 so each one is about $1. That's pretty cheap when other similar suplements cost 2-3 times that amount. True, those supplements I am referring to may contain 20 to 30 grams of protein but you are not buying Slimfast if you are a hardcore bodybuilder looking to increase mass.
I think most people who may rate this product low may be finding it hard to consider Sliimfast a meal supplement, but it is. No one said it would be easy to alter your diet without going through a rough period where you feel like you're starving all the time. Over time and with dedication one can find Slimfast to be an important item to have in the fridge and a quick and inexpensive way to replace two meals out of the 5-6 one should be having a day.

As another reviewer said, I'm definitely not fooled into thinking this is a milkshake. I'm not a fan of the vanilla shake. It tastes like a baby formula.
Since I don't want to waste them, I'm afraid I'm stuck with 5 more cans of the vanilla junk.
After reading other reviews, I believe it's a personal preference. Some people seem to really love the Vanilla flavor. I can't stand the thought of "creamy fruit" so I would never touch the Strawberry one and I don't really care to try the Cappuccino flavor, so I can't vouch for that one. But, I've really enjoyed the Rich Chocolate Royale. So, give them a try, you'll probably find one that is to your liking.
After a few days of Slim Fast, I've come to the realization that you cannot sustain yourself on the 3-2-1 plan. Eating a shake and a bar (or 2 shakes and 2 bars) every day is just unsatisfying. I plan to continue drinking a shake for breakfast because it DID sustain me until lunch and eat a small, healthy lunch and a 100-cal afternoon snack, followed by a sensible dinner. (This is the variation from the Meal Shake/Bar, snack, Meal Shake/Bar, snack, Sensible Dinner, snack method).
In other words, don't waste your time or money. You'll want real food after a day.
Tastes good. Fills you up July 7, 2010

I really like the flavor of this Slim Fast. I have lost 12 pounds in the past 2 weeks by following this plan (actually, I skip the 2 snacks they recommend, I just haven't been hungry, so eating those snacks would probably have made me lose a little less weight). I realize that's a high number for 2 weeks, but usually the beginning is where you lose the most weight and it slows down from there.
I started using it as a meal replacement for 2 meals because my beloved 15-year-old cat (my son/best friend!) got really sick about a month ago and I started not eating anything, which is SO NOT good for you. I decided I needed SOMETHING in my stomach, and if I was too busy taking care of him, then I should use Slim Fast as a meal replacement plan. Tastes nice and smooth, not chalky.
Delicious and nutritious June 27, 2010

The Slimfast Cappuccino Delight shakes are very tasty, especially when blended with ice. I would recommend to people who are not on a diet. To me, this product tastes a lot like the Starbucks Frappuccinos sold in the grocery store, but they are much more vitamin rich and lower in calories.
Pros:
-Very Tasty
-Convenient when you are on the go- perfect for waking up late and having breakfast on the run
-Lots of vitamins and minerals
Cons:
-Very, very strong coffee smell in urine
-They do taste good, but you still know you are on a diet... not completely satisfying
 Very disappinted with the new taste. June 8, 2010

I used to love this stuff. It was tasty, filling, and full of the right kind of nutrients. However, a while back they came up with a new formula or something I suppose, and the taste changed drastically. It tasted as if the milkshake had been mixed with some kind of bitter tasting medicine... it completely ruined the product for me. I won't be buying them anymore.
