Great Season for Slim Fast
This post brought to you by Slim-Fast. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am not good when it comes to any type of dieting. I am fortunate that I’ve never been way over weight, but I know I could stand to lose a few pounds. At this time of year it’s difficult to keep from adding pounds with all the great treats everyone is busy making. Just the other day I was given a box of homemade chocolate pretzels. It took all my will power to not down the entire box before I even got home!
To help me keep the excess pounds off so that I don’t look like a blimp in January, I try to eat healthy, low calorie meals that allow me to have a few extra calories worth of treats. I think that’s why I really like the Slim-Fast 3•2•1 Plan, it pretty much allows me to follow my own plan without sacrificing taste, allowing me to feel satisfied, not hungry, throughout the day.
The Slim-Fast 3•2•1 is easy to follow and it’s flexible. Each day I can have 3 snacks like fruit, veggies or even the Slim-Fast 100 calorie snack bar which is specifically designed to help curb those in between meal cravings for sweets. Also, I can either drink 2 Slim-Fast shakes or eat 2 meal bars each day. I like drinking the creamy milk chocolate shake for breakfast and the other one as a late lunch. They keep me full while providing balanced nutrition until I cook dinner in the evening. The shakes come in other flavors too including French vanilla, rich chocolate royale, cuppuccino delight, and strawberries n’ cream.
Finally, as part of the Slim-Fast 3•2•1 plan, I try to fix a balanced 500 calorie meal for dinner. I’ve also learned that it helps to remember that half my dinner plate should be vegetables, 1/4 should be protein (meat) and the other 1/4 should be whole grains.
I also like Slim-Fast because it’s available where I normally do my grocery shopping so I don’t have to make an extra trip to another store just to get it. Heck, it’s even available at Amazon.com. If you can’t locate it, check the pharmacy section of your grocer and don’t forget to “like” them at http://facebook.com/slimfast
