SlimFast Original Rich Chocolate Royale Shake – Ready to Drink Weight Loss Meal Replacement – 10g Protein – 11 Fl. Oz. Bottle – 8 Count - Pantry Friendly

So Slimfast used to be the "go to" for losing weight but like every other product, it's "great for you and really works!" one minute and is "horrible for you and contributing to your weight gain!" the next. Rinse and repeat for EVERY diet fad. Personally, I don't know nor care which is true. This is NOT filling and will NOT replace a meal but I get it because it's an oh-so-delicious snack. It's wonderful, smooth, satisfying chocolate. It goes down so easily, and I like to grab one when I have to go out instead of grabbing a soda or something. It's a bit expensive but wonderful. It may not replace a meal but it does keep me from snacking on a bag of chips or something, and it's so chocolate filled that it curbs all my cravings for things like cake or other junk food so whatever "fad" is in or out, this is still top in my list.

I have been drinking Slim Fast for breakfast for 12 years, every single morning with very few exceptions. It is dependable to get me some nutrients in the morning, it is convenient to just grab and take with me to drink on the way to work in the morning (saves time, no hassle). It tastes amazing and I've still never gotten tired of the amazing taste every morning after 12 years! I was drinking these even before the pre-made bottles like this, where I would blend the powder every morning. For me, I do not view this as a means to lose weight, but a convenient way to have breakfast that isn't excessive. Thus I don't typically adhere to the "Slim Fast" diet, but only do it for breakfast. It's all about convenience. It keeps me full every day without fail for at least 4-5 hours until lunch.All that said, I did incorporate Slim Fast into a diet that I implemented 6 months ago where I lost 24 pounds in 3 months. It was a combination of eating Slim Fast for either both breakfast & lunch, with green shake and/or vegetables, etc. for dinner (a lot of broccoli). PLUS being more active. losing weight is about 90% of what you eat though. I dropped from 201 to 177, which is my ideal weight, in 3 months.

I think these are kinda pricey however I love the flavor and they get the job done. If you replace two shakes a day for two whole meals and have one big meal instead you will lose weight for sure. I have lost 10lbs in about 2 months of course combined with better diet and exercise. I am very satisfied with slim fast and I feel it is the only product on the diet market that helps me lose weight. I've tried other products and they haven't worked plus it's been really difficult for me to lose weight. Also the product tastes great (this flavor does) and I can drink it for weeks without getting bored and nauseated from it.

Surprisingly the chocolate and the strawberry both tasted extremely how they were flavored which was good they didn't have that coffee taste like most protein drinks and stuff like that have but they need to change the name of it to slim slow.And Amazon had the best price around you know $10 for an eight pack or $13 at the big box stores for the same package so basically it's like buy two get one free almost.

I liked these meal replacements. The vanilla satisfied me more than the chocolate, which I did not expect. Since I take medicine to prevent blood clots, I had to pace myself so I did not use more than one shake a day, due to the Vitamin K in the ingredients. Vitamin K is a strong enough nutrient that it acts as a blood thinner on its own. Still, the shakes act as good meal replacements because they "fill you up" so it is much easier to stick to a lower calorie diet. The shakes also have enough of a sweet taste to them that they also satisfy that craving.

These are so good. Idk about the promise to lose weight cause I've only just started using these products. My doctor said she prefers I eat real food and not do the slimfast. But it's okay for me to use these for at work when I don't have too much chances to eat. I've got them on my nightstand and I wake up super thirsty and I have these when I wake up. And if I'm about to leave the house and I know I might stop at a fast food place for my daughter I'll drink one of these first and I don't want the fast food. It's not filling , but it seems to tide me over til my next meal so for me I kinda use it as an in between meal snack but I do feel like this is making me eat less. If I remember to I'll try to update my review after a couple weeks. - original post 6/26/20

My teenagers will sometimes have a shake if busy and don't get much of a lunch break. This will tide them over until dinner so it's perfect for them. Has a lot of sugar so not part of regular diet but it definitely pops up when they are not super hungry but need something quick and easy to hold them over until dinner hour. I keep in fridge to drink cold and if none are cold I'll blend it w/ ice for a slimfast smoothie, both great options for them. Plan to keep them on-hand for sure in the house.

This product does taste great and kept me full. My only dislike was an awful after taste.
