 Loaded with sugar. Tastes good, but not a weight loss product, as advertised. November 17, 2008

The only thing good I can say about this product is that it tastes good. That is true of the entire Slimfast line of products. They all taste good. But due to the high sugar content they are not weight loss products as the name of the product and company advertising suggests. Due to the low cost of sugar and the fact that most people prefer the taste of sugar, this company loads up all their products with sugar. Just read the label- all Slimfast products have sugar at or near the top of the list of ingredients. The FDA requires that ingredients lists be listed by the order of the abundance of the ingredient in the product. The smart consumer will not buy this product, unless you have no need for weight loss, and don't mind buying a good tasting product from a company that misleads the public in their advertising.
Since the main ingredient in all Slimfast products is sugar, their products have absolutely no weight-reducing characteristic. I tried the Slimfast products and program myself, so I know from my own experience that it does not work!
The US Department of Agriculture did many studies to result in their well know "food guide pyramid." It states that "sweets should be used sparingly." Consuming meals of primarily sugar in 2 out of every 3 meals consumed (the widely published Slimfast diet plan), could not possibly be described as using sweets sparingly.
The Nutrition Action Health letter website indicates: "Sugar is a waste of calories, promotes obesity, causes tooth decay, and dilutes the nutritional quality of your diet."
Whole books have been written on the relationship between sugar and obesity, probably the most famous is Sugar Busters!: Cut Sugar to Trim Fat (ISBN: 0345425588). The author's abstract: "Low-fat diets don't work. The reason: because they are high in sugar. Sugar produces insulin that, in large amounts, keeps weight from coming off -- in spite of strict dieting and exercise."
People who have claimed to have lost weight on the Slimfast plan did so only because they ate small quantities of Slimfast products and small quantities of everything else. The same result could be produced by a "candy bar diet." If you ate small quantities of candy bars and small quantities of everything else, you would lose weight. This doesn't mean that Slimfast products or candy bars are weight loss products. Also, it is a rare person who could stick to a plan such as the Slimfast plan for very long. Slimfast's claims that their products cause weight loss make no more sense than if candy bar makers started claiming that a diet of small quantities of candy bars cause weight loss. This line of sugar-loaded products simply does not do what it claims to do.
 Good price on subscribe and save November 16, 2008

I just took it down a couple of stars because the milk chocolate is so much better. But this also is cheaper than walmart on subscribe and save.
 If you like Slim Fast, this is a deal September 10, 2008

For the month of September, Amazon is running a $25 coupon on this product if you purchase it and/or a select group of other Unilever products specified on their Sales & Special Offers page. You have to meet the $75 spending threshold in order to use this coupon, which is taken off at checkout when you enter the code. My husband happens to like the Chocolate Royale flavor of Optima, and he already uses it as a breakfast or lunch replacement. I made sure that he really liked this flavor because I bought him three 24-packs. In this volume, please don't buy this product unless you already know what the drink tastes like. At the current price plus the $25 off and no shipping, this works out to about 82 cents a can, which is unbeatable in grocery stores, plus it is delivered to your home.
 SLIM FAST HELPS YOU KEEP ON TRACK August 16, 2008

I do love my Slimfast and get 4 cases of 24 of varying flavors delivered to me monthly by Amazon. What an excellent savings and great service.
I adore Slim fast and lost 93 healthy pounds at one point with shakes and healthy eating plus exercize. I have a health condition that sometimes restricts my ability/desire to exercise. I have put back on half of what I lost but am not exercising. I have stayed steady now for months. I use the shakes for breakfast, lunch and one at bedtime to keep off the munchies. The flavors of the Optima are quite good and this CHOCOLATE ROYALE is my favorite chocolate - very tasty.
I highly recommend Slim fast as long as you make sure you get all the proper nutrients in a day. I also highly recommend this Amazon discounted service that delivers them right to your door. Some people complained about dented cans in delivery. I think Amazon puts extra care in everything they deliver and if the occasional can gets dented it is not due to their packaging and it in no way makes it not usable.
Highly recommend this flavor of Optima and also the Amazon delivery service.

I've tried different Slim Fast shakes in the past, usually abandoning my attempts after a week because I couldn't get over the taste. With the new Slim Fast Optima Chocolate Royale I really enjoy the taste. The nasty aftertaste that bothered me in previous incarnations of this product seems to be gone in my opinion. I enjoy this product and will continue to use it in the future.
