Slim Fast Shakes

[AmyK]

I just bought the new low-carb Slim Fast shakes yesterday and tried my first one today. I was very good and only 2 net carbs (chocolate flavor).

I am a bit upset with myself though because I am only on day 3 of induction and read you're not supposed to use the pre-packaged foods yet...oh well, I hope it doesn't set me back too far. I was at work and had only brought some leftover lamb for lunch and was still hungry so I drank the shake.

Ahh don't worry AmyK. You're probably a few days into your diet by now so I hope you're finding it 's going well. Just remember to never have those Slimfast shakes because they contain sugar! (like most low-fat foods).

Eh, don't get into bad habits this early on. I would very strongly recommend hiding the shakes until you are out of your two week induction, and actually adding a couple of days onto the end just to make sure you are clean since you threw this in so early.

One of the big points of induction is to break the sugar/carb cravings, and to teach your body to burn pure fats, not sugar alcohols, etc. If you think you might get hungry at work, leave some extra induction legal snacks like pork rinds or something there.
