I bought a 12 pack of the Slimfast shakes one time as I was thinking about trying to lose about 20 pounds to get under 200.  The shakes didn't work so great for me as they didn't fill me up and I'd drink 2 of them in one sitting. :P

I know people who have lost weight with them, but as soon as they added back food, they gained the weight back.  I wouldn't recommend it, your body needs food, not chemical man made versions of nutrients.

I think that the Meal Replacements like the ones put out by EAS are better and more filling than a drink like Slim fast! I have drunk those Slimfast drinks myself and depending on how hungry i was , i would drink two of those drinks at one sitting, but i mainly drink meal replacement drinks only after a work out or early in the mornings when i'm in a rush!
