Keto Slim Fast Product Review: One Day, One Pound Lost

Share Now!

Eating only the Keto Slim Fast Products for a day. Check out how much I lost, and if I’d recommend it to others.

Here at tryitdietsisters, all we do is try random weight loss gimmicks, whether it is fad diets, nutritional supplements, fitness routines or exercise machines. We then share our real life story of how it went. I’m going to be honest with you, there is a lot of failure when it comes to diets. There are SO MANY OUT THERE!

I truly believe that there is something that will work for every single body. But it might take a lot of trial and error on their part. But i’m hoping that by sharing our experiences, maybe there will be less error for those who read our stuff.

Drinking SlimFast for weight loss

One of the weight loss brands that have been around forever is Slim Fast. I remember when I was young, seeing the drinks in our pantry while my mom was trying yet another diet, hoping to find something that worked with her thyroid failure.

Well, it’s my turn to try it.

Slim Fast was pretty smart, and when they saw all the hype about Keto, they started making “Keto Foods”.

Now, I love Keto, it really, really works for me! (my keto story here).

But there are some downsides to keto, one of those being that it is hard to find (other than nuts) snacks, or lunch box style meals that are keto friendly. Everything has to be refrigerated and/or cooked!

And just forget about traveling! (although this is how I travel and stay on track)

But these Slim Fast Keto products are perfect grab and go meals or snacks. And I knew that I had to give them a try.

I originally planned on eating only the SlimFast Keto Products for 4 days. I even made a video with all the products I bought for it, expecting to do a follow-up video of how well it worked.

When it was an epic failure, I decided not to post the video. But here is a picture at least of me trying a shake.

Trying SlimFast Keto products Review:

I’m not affiliated with slim fast in any way, I didn’t get anything for free.

I literally went to walmart and grabbed a bunch of their products off the shelf and paid for them out of my own pocket.

Each of these bars and fat bombs cost around ten dollars and the shakes were fifteen dollars. totaling around 75 dollars.

I bought:

• Vanilla Shake
• Chocolate Shake
• Peanut Butter Meal Replacement Bar
• Mint Chocolate Fat bombs
• Lemon Fat Bombs
• Peanut Butter Cup Fat Bombs
• And Peanut Carmel Cluster Fat bombs

So first lets talk about how you are supposed to use these Keto Slim Fast products:

On the box SlimFast Keto gives a decent suggestion on how to lose weight. They use the 123 plus method.

• 1 homemade Keto Meal.
• 2 SlimFast Meal Replacements (shake or bar)
• 3 Fat Bomb Snacks during the day

Now, I decided not to follow this perfectly. It said that I am in charge of one keto meal a day, and should eat the rest with slim fast. But since I am testing to see if I can survive on only slim fast keto for four days, my plan for this review was just to eat slimfast for each meal instead.

I’m was doing this for 2 reasons:

• 1 to see if I could count on slim fast to get me through days where I am out and about, or when I travel.
• And 2. I have family members who don’t cook at all, but want to try keto, and I want to see if they could just eat these keto products and not worry about where their next meal is coming from, while getting into ketosis (which is the hard part).

For this slim fast keto review, I weighed myself this morning, and started out at 169 pounds.

And I always lose a bunch of weight right at the beginning of keto, so I was expecting pretty good results in the 4 days.

Some things I was worried about while taking keto boxed products for review:

1. Even though it says keto on the label, most products are not technically keto, or at least not clean keto. When I look at the ingredients, I worry a little about how much processed stuff is in here, and even the artificial sweetener isn’t my favorite. One of the major advantages of clean keto, is that it naturally eliminates the most common foods that cause inflammation. And I’ve learned the hard way, that if my body is inflamed, it doesn’t lose weight very well. So if any of these processed ingredients don’t do well for me, I might be wasting 4 days.

2. Even if it was all clean ingredients, with keto approved, natural sweeteners, there can be some serious intestinal cramping going on if you eat too much sugar alcohol. And it looks like I’ll be eating a ton each day, So one of the things I am looking for is to know what the number of grams of sugar alcohol I can take before intestines still hurt.

3. I’m a little worried about calorie count not being high enough. None of these meal replacements go over 200 calories. So if I want to keep my calories high enough not to be starving, my goal is to keep it between 1200 – 1600 calories a day. I would have to have at least 2 drinks, one meal replacement, and 7 fat bombs a day. That is a lot.

4. But I’m also worried about being hungry. I do not like an empty stomach feeling, and I’m worried that my body will recognize that these are just snacky style foods, and feel weak and hungry.

But, I was not going anywhere for the next couple of days, and as always, I committed to stop if I felt like this was too much for my body.

Review: How does the Slimfast Keto products taste?

• The slimfast keto shakes taste exactly the same as the normal slimfast shakes. meaning they are edible. . er. . .drinkable.
• The meal bar was a little plain, but I liked the chocolate around it.
• The peanut butter cups were disappointing. I was hoping that it would compare to Reeses, but it was bland and not great.
• the Lemon Fat Bombs were my favorite. I’m a sucker for lemon sweets, but there was an odd grainy taste sometimes, and it made my tongue feel weird.
• Chocolate Mint was pretty good, I thought it was similar to Andes mint. SlimFast does chocolate well I think
• The caramel clusters were like really, really, really chewy turtles. I was worried that my teeth would stick together after eating it. But it tasted great.

After 1 day of eating only Slim Fast Keto products.

So I did not last the entire 4 days I was planning. In fact, I only lasted 1 and 1/4 day. I couldn’t in good conscious keep going. Here is a pull from my journal:

“Oh my goodness. This was one of the worst diet decisions of my life! Everything that I was worried about happened! First, I was starving, from almost the very beginning. Which is weird because I consistently practice Intermittent fasting, and can easily go till 2 or even 3 in the afternoon without feeling hunger. But this was hollow stomach, weak in the knees, hunger after keto breakfast, (a vanilla shake and 2 keto fat bombs) and before lunch!

Second, my indigestion also started pretty quickly. about after lunch. (meal replacement bar and 4 fat bombs. . . I was starving remember?!) And it was BAD!

It had me running to the bathroom quite often. . . So at least my digestive tract was cleaned out, that’s a good thing, right?

But it just didn’t stop there. When there was nothing else solid to come out (TMI) there was the gas!

I felt physically sick at the end of the day, and just pushed through the next morning. My arms and neck were tingly, like I was having a bad reaction. I better not eat any more.”

Final Review of Keto SlimFast Products

It was a total flop for me. I did lose 1 pound in that 1 day though, so there is that. But I was sooo miserable doing it.

I wonder if it was too much sugar alcohol, or maybe I am actually allergic to something in one (or all) of the products.

I had traveled before and had bought one box of the meal replacement bars, and one box of the mint fat bombs, and I ate it over a 3 day period, and I didn’t have these kind of reactions, but I did eat other foods during that time as well.

Maybe it was the shake? I don’t know.

I don’t know if it is just me who didn’t do well on it, so if you’ve tried the keto slimfast bars, leave your own review in the comments!

I decided to go back to eating simple keto foods, like this egg fast, to help lose some weight.

UPDATE:

I had A LOT of keto slim fast foods leftover from my review. I kept them on my counter, and slowly ate them all (didn’t touch the drinks). I never had the intense problems I had in the beginning again. But I didn’t try eating ONLY SlimFast.

So my FINAL REVIEW OF KETO SLIM FAST PRODUCTS is this:

They are useful for inbetween snacks. Be careful not to over eat them.

I noticed when I ate more than 2 in a day, that my weight loss stalled. It didn’t go down the next day, but it also didn’t really go up.

So for me, if I was hungry and was tempted to eat either a donut that is high in carbohydrates and would kick me out of ketosis, or a couple of keto slim fast fat bombs, I would pick the fat bombs. But the best choice would be to keep other snacks, like almonds, on hand that won’t make a weight loss stall.
