My wedding is now 14 weeks away and I have been slimming for the last 7 months, loosing a total of 3 stone and 3 lb. I was approached to work with SlimFast recently on the launch of their new noodle boxes and I was keen to answer the question for myself; does Slim Fast work?
Jon swears by SlimFast as it really works for him and I have used SlimFast powder shakes when I was younger. I lost a stone very quickly and liked how little effort it required….but then immediately stopped following the diet!
If you are new to SlimFast there is a simple 3.2.1 plan to keep to – 3 snacks, 2 meal replacement bars or shakes and a 600 calorie meal every day. The SlimFast Challenge app also launched this year, aiding their no faff, no complex counting, weight loss scheme.
Does Slim Fast Work?
To help me answer this question I was sent one of the Slim Fast Starter Kits. The kit comes with three of their new noodle boxes to try.
The noodle boxes are new to SlimFast and their four flavours are Sweet & Sour Chicken, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Spicy Thai and Chicken Tikka Masala. Spicy Thai is the only vegetarian option at the moment.
Each of the SlimFast noodle boxes are all less than 100 cals and only need microwaving for 2 minutes so are great for taking to work. The noodles are made using Konjac flour, Konjac contains virtually no calories or carbs and has zero fat and sugar. It does make the noodles a little jelly like but is a low cal, filling option.
If you are keen to try then the Sweet & Sour Chicken noodles have just launched and are available from Amazon and Morrison’s whilst the Spaghetti Bolognaise, Spicy Thai and Chicken Tikka Masala noodle boxes are available from Ocado, Boots and Superdrug as well as Amazon and Morrison’s.
SlimFast is about fast, doable weight loss but I am not sure if it could be a long term solution.
With SlimFast you are tracking and controlling calorie intake, with SlimFast making it more convenient to do. It will be really interesting to try this out, follow how I get on and see if I can answer the question of does Slim Fast work?
Join me in a Twitter Party talking about this on the 16th May 2016 at 12.30pm, using the hashtags #SlimFastLunchClub and #SlimFastNoodles.
