Slim Fast NO NO!

[MrsShannonDennis 10]

I have read a lot of you talk about drinking Slim Fast. Just be careful because they are FULL of sugar and carbs. My nutritionists HATES them and told us to stay far away from it. I remember when I was on Atkins being shocked by the nutrition facts on them! Just a heads up!

Happy Banding!

There are two types of Slim Fast including a low carb version.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could stomach either. I think they are gross.

There are a few different types of Slim Fast drinks. There are the originals, the optima, the low-carb, and the high-Protein. I have been drinking the Low-Carb version, as it has more Protein than the High-Protein has. The low-carb Slim Fast has 20g of protein, 4g Fiber, and only 2g sugar, for a total of 6g carbs. The only downside to this drink is the fat content at 9g. I talked to my doctor and his nurses and they don't have a problem with this one at all. They do have a problem with the original and the optima version though.

Just depends on which one you are looking at.

I drink a SlimFast Low Carb Diet every day for Breakfast. 20 grams of Protein, and 2 NET grams of carbs (total grams of carbs minus grams of Fiber equals net carbs). I like the taste of the chocolate! The vanilla is just tolerable, but I don't like much of anything that's vanilla anyway. It did make a good smoothie though. My main thing is I wanted an RTD that tasted good to me. I long since learned to read nutrition panels because I was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic about 14 years ago.....the 70 pounds I've lost has returned my blood glucose level to normal without medications but the habit is probably ingrained for life now. The Low Carb Diet is a fairly recent product, I think. When I first discovered them, they were hard to find but now I find them in lots of places.

The so-called "high protein" SlimFast has 15 grams of Protein (yeah, go figure) and something like 27 grams of carbs. You definitely have to read labels for any food product.....simply because the face label can be misleading.

My dietician think they all are bad. She is very anti-slimfast.

Well, I believe in what works for me, LOL. She doesn't have to drink them if she doesn't want to.

[MrsShannonDennis 10]

Haha good to know! I havent seen all the new ones cause I was always told to stay away so I guess I just havent even looked at all the new variety! My dieticion still wants me to stay away from them though

I found another draw back of the Slimfast low carb. I started my pre-op diet on 7/3. I was drinking the low carb Slimfast 3-4 times a day. I was fine for the first 2 days, but by the third day, I was having major upset stomach issues! I don't EVER want to put another Slimfast product in my mouth! I'm now using whey Protein and 1% milk. This has been much better for my digestive track!

I can't find anything on the manufacturers website about calories and nutrition details. How many carbs, Protein grams, and calories does this product have?

Heh.... I did google it and after the 3rd website that I couldn't find it I became annoyed.

It is a little high in fat, carbs, and calories for only 16gms of Protein.< /p>

I LOVE whey Gourmet Choco/PB. 120 calories, 22gms protein, 3gms carbs, 2gms fat, 1gm sugar.

You can mix it with milk or Water, I prefer it with Water otherwise it's just too thick and rich.

They have a website for this specific product.
