How much weight will I lose?

There is no set claim about how much weight you will lose, results will vary from person to person. As this restricts calories it goes without saying that if you stick to the diet you will lose weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• It is simple and easy to follow
• It is convenient for those who like to eat on the go
• You get to eat a real meal each day.

Cons

• It doest teach overweight people any good habits and therefore when they come off the diet they may be likely to put the weight back on.
• The product can be quite expensive
• It can be very repetitive leaving you to crave other foods.

Summary

It is good for those dieters who need to follow a structured plan but they must make sure that after the diet they do not go back to their old eating habits. It also allows a meal each evening meaning you can add variety by having something different every evening. The results of the slim fast plan can also be achieved by restricting calories eaten each day by eating normal food but this plan is ideal for those needing the structure and convenience.
