Slim Slow

As I mentioned earlier my weight is bothering me. It is not that I am image obsessed. I really just like being healthy. Which brings me to the major no-no. I have been playing basketball almost every day now. I feel so great. But, I want to loose weight faster so I went an extra step. I bought two cartons of Slim-Fast. I just assumed that these shakes were full of healthy vitamins and valuable nutrients. For the past few days I have been drinking a shake in the morning, a shake for lunch, and finishing with a home cooked meal for supper. Well my health genius Rachel suggested that I look at the ingredients on the label. I was quite surprised to find that the majority of the ingredients are basically sugars. Completely unhealthy and horrible for me. I was so excited that I was sticking to the plan. It wasn't easy. Now I find I have been deluded by the Slim-Fast corporation. I have decided to actually stay with the diet until the shakes are gone. But, good grief it probably isn't the healthy thing to do!

I did slim fast for awhile--and it really did work.

But there is a lot of junk in those shakes--the ingredient list almost takes up the whole side of the can.

I think the same result would be achieved with a bowl of special K or a homemade smoothie or protein shake. I think the convenience is what sells slim fast!
