It's an urban legend mate.

Capt'n Midnight

there's no worms in slim fast

technically they aren't worms

Black Swan

If in fact they did put worms in Slim Fast, tape worms would really get the weight down fast!

lolipops

well my mom's friend found maggots in her slimfast milkshake, she was about to drink it when she got a phone call and she was on it for about 20 mins and she came back and seen maggots in it. im not sure how they got in there or what but i heard rumours that when they are being made they are not protected from germs etc. and some blue bottle flies got in and layed eggs in some of the foods.

...... and if you break an earthworm into 7 pieces it dies!



honest


nevermind the fact it died 5 pieces ago

Creature

Whats the problem? The worms/maggots in your slim fast shake will be digested in your stomach thus giving an extra dose of much needed protein. A winning situation if you ask me.

IIRC if you cut an earth worm between the 5th and 20th segment it dies
anywhere else and only the bit with the "brain" and hearts ( 5 iirc ) lives

Like octupses worms brains are in a ring around the gut, so if the brain got too big they wouldn't be able to eat. maybe this is what's going on with stupid fat americans ?

:rolleyes: Well I have tried to cultivate the worms and I can tell you there are none!!!

But here is some exciting news have lost a stone in four weeks on slim fast. I never really knew what I was eating before in calories and I am shocked to say I was a piggy. No more I am on the road to thinness.

If there is anyone else out there on slimfast I would love to catch up. I go to weight watchers but i feel like i am cheating as doing slimfast!

I live for weigh ins on wednesday!

I just love saying shill

Sherifu

I think i'll just pop out for some slimfast right now. You've convinced me JennyG73!

JennyG73

Good for you. Best drunk out of the fridge. It tastes better if you make it up yourself with the powder with low fat milk.

Have weigh in tomorrow at weight watchers so will let you know!!! On the meal bars for dinner tonight lol. Will have proper meal tomorrow.

You can have a shake for breakfast, a meal bar for lunch and then 600 calorie dinner. I must admit that i don't get too hungry but when I do I drink water.

Let me know how you get on and good luck



Jen

Sherifu

Thanks, can't wait to hear.

Just had a quick google and it seems there is 220 calories in a shake and can't be much more in a bar. That with a 600 calorie dinner is no where near enough calories to sustain you. They may be falling off you now but they will pile back on as soon as you come off the diet. On top of that nealy all the calories you are getting are from calories you are getting are from sugar in the Slim fast meals. If you have any sense I'd drop the diet and start actually loosing weight properly.

EDIT: Another thing I spotted, some of the Slim fast range use hydrogenated fats. This is what Slim fast them selves say about them: http://www.slim-fast.com/support/atd/view_answer.asp?qid=1637&cid=13&pn=0&rec=10

...and then some, plus you'll probably lose muscle-mass into the bargain.

Unfortunately, people only learn the hard way when it comes to 'dieting aides' such as Slimfast.

JennyG73

Firstly to non believers :eek::mad:- if you bothered to check the diet goes as follows:

Breakfast Shake 210 cals
Morning snack fruit/choc bar 100 calls
Lunchtime soup/shake/meal bar 208-210 calls I like the meal bars
Quick treat of choice 100 cals
Evening meal 600 cals
Night time treat snack bar 100 cals

Thats a total of 1320 cals!!!:) More than enough if you want to loose weight!!! The whole point of loosing weight is to restrict/limit the amount you eat. Fat people like me eat three times that amont.

Infact since starting on the slimfast my nails are growing stronger and my hair is shining. My back has stopped hurting as the weight is coming off.
The foods are nutritionally balanced and better than living off a diet of lettuce leaves.

So bah humbug!!!!!!!!:p

Sherifu apologies for the above. Last night was a success, I lost 3.5lb! My first weigh in weight was 15st 11 lb and last night I weighed in at 14st 8.5lb after 5 weeks. That is in line with the 2lb a week weight watchers hope you will loose.

Don't listen to the others! Begrudgers the lot of them. If you want to loose weight go for it. :rolleyes:Consider this, Slimfast is sold in Boots chemist so that is saying something. I will log in each Thursday with my weigh in result for you. Let me know how you get on. :cool:

One last thing, the non believers are probably the ones who set off the worm nonsense. What have you got to loose ---- weight! I am looking forward to my mums 60th as I hope to be 13st 4lb by then (June 21).;):D

Sherifu

Wow, I can't believe it. Thanks for the info JennyG73. Keep me posted please.

With all due respect a blanket statement like that is idiotic.

Calorific requirement is determined by lean body mass which has an affect on basal metabolic rate and activity.

To say that 1320 calories is more than enough if you want to lose weight is foolish. Personally, when i am "cutting" i can still take in up to 3000 calories a day, if i were to eat 1320 i would be severly undereating.

Also, to make the jump to better nails and hair being as a result of Slimfast may be true, but to me it indicates more than anything how **** your diet was before you started on it.

I disagree with programs like Slimfast purely because they do nothing to improve your health, merely help you lose weight.

If someone wants to a program like Slimfast and self educate about nutrition so they are eating properly afterwards and excercise as well then i have no issue.

Blanket statements like yours i will always have problems with as i believe they are pointless, poor thought out and dangerous.

1320 calories a day might be fine for you , but for someone else to eat that amount could do them serious damage.

Yes, it is saying boots can make money by selling Slimfast. The same was as they can make money selling Apple Cider Vinegar ( The FAIL of the weightloss supplement industry ) and several other weightloss products that have no clinical trials and back up to show they work.

Does Slimfast work? Of course it does, it's a calorie restriction, but do not in any way mistake Slimfast effect on you losing weight as being completely healthy.

JennyG73

Let me just say that it is up to you on the slimfast! I apologise most sincerely if I came across as agressive that was not my intention...:(

It upsets me when people have a go when you are trying to loose weight and at the end of the day slimfast is working for me. I eat healthily in the evenings and I am exercising.

SORRY GUYS!

Sherifu will keep you posted if I don't get thrown off the site:rolleyes:
