Slim-Fast to the Weight-Loss Rescue

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I used to never have to watch what I ate. I could eat anything (and I mean anything) and never worry about gaining weight. That all changed when I turned 30 and had my 5th child. Suddenly, my body reacted differently to everything I did and ate.

This summer, I decided that I needed to make some changes. One of the very first changes I made was to add Slim-Fast to my breakfast routine. I’ve never been a big cereal fan, and Slim-Fast is a great on-the-go option, so it has worked perfectly for me.

I still have some pounds to shed, but I feel like I have a better control of my weight. Even better is the fact that I enjoy the taste (my favorite is the Rich Chocolate Royale) and that it doesn’t leave me feeling hungry 30 minutes after I’ve eaten (a common problem when I eat cereal).

About the Slim-Fast 3•2•1 Plan

THREE - Eat 3 snacks per day (Slim-Fast 100-calorie snack bars, fruit, nuts or veggie)
TWO - Drink 2 Slim-Fast Shakes or eat 2 Meal Bars per day (each shake or meal bar provides the balanced nutrition of a meal and up to four hours of hunger control)
ONE - Eat 1 balanced 500-calorie meal per day (a good rule to follow is to fill half your plate with veggies, a quarter with protein, and a quarter with whole grains)

Slim-Fast recently introduced new rich, creamy, great-tasting shakes, with flavors that include:

Creamy Milk Chocolate
French Vanilla
Rich Chocolate Royale
Cappuccino Delight
Strawberries N’ Cream

You can purchase Slim-Fast shakes and meal bars (I also enjoy the Slim-Fast powder that I mix with my milk) in the pharmacy sections of grocery stores and retailers nationwide, including Wal-Mart, Target, Safeway and Kroger. It is also available online at Amazon.com and the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Store on Facebook.

You can also get Slim-Fast coupons on Facebook (currently, they have a $1.50-off coupon).

The Holidays are a perfect time to add Slim-Fast into your routine, especially with all of the parties and treats and the inevitable New Years Resolutions that will come in a few weeks. Why not start now?

I’d love to know….Have you tried Slim-Fast to lose weight? Have you had success?
