Slim Fast Optima

[smilie]

I was thinking about trying a Slim Fast Optima diet. Has anyone used slim fast before? I was looking online and the plan that I need to go with is:
1 Slim Fast Meal-on-the-Go
1 Slim Fast Meal Combination
1 Sensible Meal

I saw some commercials that said the Optima will help control hunger. Just wondering how hungry I'll be during the day if I follow this. I'm trying to increase my water intake as well, so hopefully this will help with the hunger. Thanks in advance for any information!!

I've used regular Slimfast and the Optima. Not much of a difference between the two, you still get hungry pretty quick. The key with Slimfast is to make sure you have a small snack between meals. I usually eat something about every 2-3 hours and I don't get hungry. I usually have breakfast @7, a snack @10, lunch @12, snack @2, dinner @5, snack @7.

I've had the Slimfast Optima bars on weekend days when I work. I'm busy running from one end of the bowling alley to the other and I only get a small drinkg and a soft pretzel (free) during my shift. Other food is available at a reduced price, but I don't carry any $$ with me. Anyway, they hold me over while I'm there.

I also eat smaller meals throughout the day, up to 200 calories every two hours starting at 8:30am, except lunch which might be about 300 and dinner around 400.

I drink a slimfast optima shake every morning for breakfast! (I only like the chocolate ones, the vanilla is GROSS!) I can't eat in the morning, so I was skipping before because I was too tired to eat before work. Once I started with the shake on the go (I buy the cans ready to go, not the mix), I started to lose weight. I drink it at 7:30 am, have a piece of fruit and some nuts and maybe a cheese stick around 10am and then lunch at noon. I've never been hungry while drinking the shakes. Now if I just have a yoghurt in the morning, I'm hungry an hour later! I've lost 38 pounds since August (68 total) by using SlimFast, and exercising and eating right! Good luck! :goodvibes
