Want to lose 40lbs on slim fast is it possible?

Hi all I'm 5'6-5'7 187lbs and want to lose weight. I was thinking of doing the slim fast diet replacing all 3 meals with the shakes. Could I lose those 40lbs in 2 months with this diet and also running for 30min a day? Please no rude comments I know about the consequences of consuming only 600 calories a day just need a straight answer. Thanks in advance:)

Recommended Answer:

Yes, it's possible if you severely restrict calories, as you say you want to do, that you might lose 20 lbs a month...but understand it will start with water weight loss, and then it will be muscle tissue...you may lose some fat, but not as much as you will muscle...so you'll be squishy/flabby...Chances of regaining the weight in the not-too-distant-future are also quite high...your body will want to store more calories when you start feeding it enough to survive, so it can make it through the next "famine" you put it through...It's a crappy and unhealthy way to lose weight, which is why the experienced people here don't recommend it...and it guarantees you'll have to lose the weight again at some point (many times, if you insist on doing it in an unhealthy manner each time)...Seems a waste of time to me, when you can lose up to 12 lbs/mo in a healthy manner, and keep it off forever, by eating healthy and exercising properly...I'm a big fan of doing it the right way, and only having to do it once...and not jeopardizing your health in the process...not to mention the flabby skin is REALLY hard to get rid of (and sometimes, it never goes away)...

Other Answers:

• Any time you eat less calories than the required to maintain your body weight you shall lose weight. The science is solid on that evidence. But you are not 5'6 to 5'7. Both numbers must be identified. The proper way is this: 5' 6" to 5' 7." Please use correct symbols and grammar when writing. Slim-Fast is the proper name of a product and must be capitalized. Having the discipline to do the right thing each time every day is essential for order. Perhaps that is why you weight 187 lbs. due to laxity in how you eat at each meal. You are obese and need to lose this weight for health reasons. Diet is to weight control as exercise is to fitness. Keep that in mind and exercise unless done for hours and hours does little for weight reduction.
• I have lost 16 lbs in 10 days on Plexus Slim. it's all natural and you don't have to replace your meals. It's a pink drink in the morning and you drink your water and you can exercise. But you don't have to replace your meals with shakes and be miserable. email me if you'd like more details.
