SlimFast Advanced Nutrition Creamy Chocolate Shake – Ready to Drink Meal Replacement – 20g of Protein – 11 Fl. Oz. Bottle – 12 Count - Pantry Friendly

Every earthquake and disaster pantry should stock this--and rotate it. I live on Slimfast --can't write enough GOOD about it. High protein and 1 gram of sugar: BINGO!

I love the vanilla which I mix with amazing grass in a shaker bottle. Chocolate is good too. I didn't like strawberry because it taste too artificial. I drink this for breakfast and lunch with a dinner of just about anything... if I eat out, I will eat a kids meal to cut down my calories. The best part about it is it lowers blood sugar readings. I dropped to the low 500 a1c when it was close to 700. If that doesn't get you on board, I don't know what will. Although I have lost 62 pounds I did get stomped and had to change it up. I still drink this but I try to get more exercise as well as drink 2 cups of green tea with citrus. I also intermittent fast. Eating between 2 and 8 and fasting the rest. The best advice you can get is on YouTube watching Doctor Eric Berg. Hope this helps someone.

Gastric Bypass Patient here, helps me get my recommended daily protein intake. Tastes pretty good, though the flavor is sort of an acquired taste. Drank two of these a day before surgery and they did help fill me up though it wasn't a sufficient meal replacement. There are only 180 calories in one of these little drinks, so it's much better to have one of these than something like a protein or granola bar. Post surgery, these are helping me maintain my protein levels. I have one every morning and they do not bother my lactose intolerance. I recommend these drinks for anyone pre or post gastric bypass.

Whatever flavor you get, which in my case was the Milk Chocolate, it will actually taste like the flavor you are expecting. As for it being a meal replacement shake, it worked better than I was expecting. I wont be using it to replace 2 meals anytime soon, but for now I use it to replace my breakfast. The average time before I start getting hungry seems to be 3 hours for me, though it does depend on what I am doing during that time. I can't shed any light on weight lost because the only scale I had access to disappeared. That, and weight loss wasn't particularly the goal so much as having something better for me.The only drawback to this is that after you are done with the shake, after a bit there is a weird after taste that I can't put my finger on. It isn't entirely unpleasant, but it is off putting. To combat this, I do a half and half mix of slimfast and a cookies and cream Gatorade protein shake I ended up buying a week before I got slimfast. Alternatively I added some honey and it also seemed to help with the after taste as well so whatever works for you.I uh, would give a warning as well. The very first time I drank this, Nature called. Quite loudly. If you are someone who doesn't get a lot of fiber normally, I would take...precautions. After the first time however, everything has been fine, and I do plan on continuing to buy this.

I want to lose weight and it is always hard to stay in the 1000 to 1200 calorie range each day to do it. I finally decided to get slim fast shakes. I like it because I have 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch. It tastes good and is filling. So I have 2 a day and then a morning and/or afternoon snack (like a rice cake) and I have a lean cuisine frozen dinner for dinner with a glass of no fat milk and either a salad or fruit. I only drink water. I've been loosing the weight this way. I just got the shakes but I wish I had sooner. This is helping me to stay within my calories each day and is really motivating me to not over eat. I want to lose 40 pounds. So far I have lost 7 pounds since I've been drinking these. I was dieting before I bought these but was unable to loose weight and was gaining weight some weeks.

I have now ordered this 8 times over the past two months. I drink them for breakfast and lunch, and then eat a totally normal meal. I find that the advanced protein formula does keep me fuller longer (2.5-3 hours), and then I have a fiber-rich snack (otherwise you’ll have issues. Trust me.) So far with this method, I have lost 30 lbs in 2 months. It works for me, but I recognize everyone is unique and it might not work for them. As far as the other reviews about gelatin in the shake, I find that if I don’t shake my drink prior to opening that I have those a little, but it’s not really an issue for me. The mold mentioned in another review has never happened to me and I have consumed nearly 100 of these at this point, but I do make sure to check every time I open a bottle. The taste is great in my opinion, not chalky at all, and gives me the chocolate I need to keep my sweet tooth cravings at bay. All in all, 5-star product.

Seems that flavor has changed since protein was added. The flavor used to be better and it has a little slimy feel in your mouth when you take a few sips. It’s nutritional values are very good. Maybe I shouldn’t say this but I was told to drink Ensure by my doctor when I was taking chemotherapy and my weight was dropping. If you compare nutritional values with slim fast they are very close and slim fast even has more nutrients than Ensure. Drink 2 servings of slim fast if you want to and you are trying to put weight on. Of course bring this to your doctors attention first and make sure they say it is okay for you. My doctor saw my point and agreed with me.

I got these during my pregnancy when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. These had enough protein that I could drink them with my really restrictive gestational diabetes diet and was my only source of 'chocolate' for the 2nd half of my pregnancy. I'm really thankful that these exist because they helped me get through cravings when I couldn't eat what I wanted to eat and kept me healthy through the pregnancy by being able to stick to the diet set for me. They are also great to grab for traveling/on the go. I would grab one in the morning and drink on the way to work.In case anyone reading is in the (gestational) diabetes boat, make sure you purchase the 'advanced nutrition' version. The other/regular slimfast versions don't have enough protein to offset their carbs and you won't be able to drink (unless adding another source of protein).
