Slim Fast 3•2•1 Plan and Shake Review

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

I used to work in Downtown Des Moines where I had access to the skywalk system and would walk over lunch almost every single day.  Typically I would get a 3 mile walk done in my lunch hour and by doing that  I was able to maintain my weight.  I was never dropping pounds, but at least I wasn't gaining and that's good because I've never been one to diet. The only times I've felt the strong need to lose weight was for post-pregnancy pounds.  However, now that I stay home my power walking days are over.  I spend about an hour in the car every day getting my son to and from school and several hours sitting in front of the computer finding deals to share and posting them to this blog.  Slowly and steadily over the past year at home I have put on some weight.  I need to be doing something.  I need to be moving more and eating less and eating less is where Slim-Fast comes into the picture.

Slim-Fast has a 3•2•1 Plan that's made for anyone who's looking to lose weight or simply maintain.  Here's how the plan works: 

Choose 3 snacks a day. Snacks can include fruit, veggies, nuts or Slim-Fast 100-calorie snack bars. The Slim-Fast 100-calorie snack bars designed to help curb your sweet-tooth cravings between meals.

Also include 2 Slim-Fast Shakes or Meal Bars per day.  Both delicious and satisfying plus they provide the balanced nutrition of a meal and up to four hours of hunger control.

Then have 1 Balanced Meal a day.  Enjoy a balanced 500-calorie meal per day that includes veggies, protein and whole grains.

The new Slim-Fast shakes come in 5 flavors including:

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

 

I decided to indulge by trying the Rich Chocolate Royale flavor and I was not disappointed.  Honestly I sniffed it before taking a sip and it even smelled yummy.  The shake was very chocolaty, creamy and delicious.  The shake comes in a convenient on-the-go bottle that is shaped to be held easily and travels easily.  It is designed to go everywhere with you from your purse, desk or gym bag.  For me the chocolate shake will be a great replacement for the actual chocolate I tend to eat in the afternoon.  It satisfies my sweet tooth and will keep me feeling full until dinnertime.

If you're wanting to be proactive in keeping off the holiday pounds now is the time to start.  No need to wait until January.  You can find The new Slim-Fast shakes available in the pharmacy sections of grocers and retailers nationwide, including Wal-Mart, Target, Safeway and Kroger and online at Amazon.com.
