For slim fast keto has anyone tried it?

(Troy) #2

No
Not planning too as well

YMMV
Be careful, based on these list of ingredients :nauseated_face:

Real Food for me😄

What’s bad in ingredients? It’s pretty much everything we have for Keto?

(Troy) #4

Soy Lecithin
Carrageenan
Dextrose
Palm Oil mixture

Just not my go to ingredients
Others may be ok with those🙂

Well, I’m assuming one serving, or shake, is supposed to be equivalent to a meal, but one serving has 18 total carbs; 14 if you take out the fiber, and and I guess 8 if you subtract the Erythritol.

However, I don’t want the bulk of my calories, or carbs to come from a liquid, I’d rather have that from whole food, that my body has to work at to digest. I can imagine myself drinking one of these, and being hungry shortly after. Plus, I’d be surprised if the cost wasn’t much higher than buying whole foods.

I’ve had their fat bombs. Probably not the best ingredients but it was good.

try it, see if you like it and if it works for you. I dont do shakes everyday but they are handy in a pinch.

For low cals and 14 net carbs I wouldn’t personally do it. Unless your being practically almost or close to 0 carbs the rest of the day. Seems like a lot of carbs for something that probably wouldn’t be very filling to me.

I don’t consider products like this keto friendly. Too many sugar alcohols and other garbage that often stalls those on keto.

@Lisambc…ok, not trying to get in any trouble here, but I have tried them…and I like them…not daily of course…I go to work at 3am and everyone in my house is still asleep…sometimes it’s easier to pour some almond milk and a scoop of slimfast into a glass and run out the door while I shake it up…husband appreciates me not waking him and the kiddos by cooking at 230 in the morning, so it’s win win. I only drink 2 or 3 a month…but isn’t that the entire premise of that n=1. What works for me may not work for you…also i have no problem drinking my breakfast it actually helps me not eat.

I haven’t tried it but if it works out for you, let us know. Everyone has to come at this in their own way. You may find it useful and drop it after a while. I would be interested in learning how it effects your goals. Keep us posted!

@Lisambc

Looks like a satiety signal scrambler cocktail to me. Sweeteners like stevia, erythitol, and dextrose make me super hungry. The whey raises insulin quite a bit as well, so not ideal for combating insulin resistance if that’s something you’re dealing with. The fat is primarily palm oil, and they call it MCT oil blend because it has coconut oil which is pretty shady. Seven net carbs is an awful lot for such a tiny amount of fat and protein. 1/4 cup of peanuts will give you the same calories, slightly more fat/protein with half the net carbs, and 1/10th the cost.

Like others have mentioned though, if it’s working for you, go for it. It’s still way better than SAD!

Ok I’m not gonna do the keto slim fast but my question now is?where do I get a good legit keto protein powder?
I started a part time job I’m always on the go I’m up at anytime between 5am to 7am so I can have my coffee n poops …before gallbladder surgery I’d have bad explosions but now normal yay me …but I’m struggling with finding time to eat but I can say I have not turned to fast food or junk food…But I’m so hungry when I get home.i need something affordable that dont taste like chalk.
I’m sick to my stomach because tonite between being tired n sore n work n errands with my mom I ate pizza…I’m mad at myself beyond words n not forgivable …
I know tomorrow is new day n I’m doing it dang it I’m not going to lose weight if I’m doing stupid sh*t…I know if I had keto protein shakes I’d been good no gimmicky products straight up legit stuff …please

The ingredients are probably the best slimfast has for keto. 3 net carbs… cool and yes they are satisfying imo. Don’t get the meal bars! Seems that’s all I find on the shelves, fat bombs gone or never ordered.

(Brian) #15

Not crazy about some of those ingredients, but you could do a lot worse. I’d still not want to make it a go-to for my everyday eating. But hey, if it works for you, like I said, you could do a lot worse.

I buy Keto Chow from Amazon. It is a keto specific formulated shake mix. I became very tired of eggs for breakfast, so this is my breakfast now.

You can buy single serving size packets to find a flavor you like. I really like it.
