 Eh... July 9, 2010
E. Musso (Georgetown, DC)
As another reviewer said, I'm definitely not fooled into thinking this is a milkshake. I'm not a fan of the vanilla shake. It tastes like a baby formula.
Since I don't want to waste them, I'm afraid I'm stuck with 5 more cans of the vanilla junk.
After reading other reviews, I believe it's a personal preference. Some people seem to really love the Vanilla flavor. I can't stand the thought of "creamy fruit" so I would never touch the Strawberry one and I don't really care to try the Cappuccino flavor, so I can't vouch for that one. But, I've really enjoyed the Rich Chocolate Royale. So, give them a try, you'll probably find one that is to your liking.
After a few days of Slim Fast, I've come to the realization that you cannot sustain yourself on the 3-2-1 plan. Eating a shake and a bar (or 2 shakes and 2 bars) every day is just unsatisfying. I plan to continue drinking a shake for breakfast because it DID sustain me until lunch and eat a small, healthy lunch and a 100-cal afternoon snack, followed by a sensible dinner. (This is the variation from the Meal Shake/Bar, snack, Meal Shake/Bar, snack, Sensible Dinner, snack method).
In other words, don't waste your time or money. You'll want real food after a day.
Tastes good. Fills you up July 7, 2010

I really like the flavor of this Slim Fast. I have lost 12 pounds in the past 2 weeks by following this plan (actually, I skip the 2 snacks they recommend, I just haven't been hungry, so eating those snacks would probably have made me lose a little less weight). I realize that's a high number for 2 weeks, but usually the beginning is where you lose the most weight and it slows down from there.
I started using it as a meal replacement for 2 meals because my beloved 15-year-old cat (my son/best friend!) got really sick about a month ago and I started not eating anything, which is SO NOT good for you. I decided I needed SOMETHING in my stomach, and if I was too busy taking care of him, then I should use Slim Fast as a meal replacement plan. Tastes nice and smooth, not chalky.
Delicious and nutritious June 27, 2010

The Slimfast Cappuccino Delight shakes are very tasty, especially when blended with ice. I would recommend to people who are not on a diet. To me, this product tastes a lot like the Starbucks Frappuccinos sold in the grocery store, but they are much more vitamin rich and lower in calories.
Pros:
-Very Tasty
-Convenient when you are on the go- perfect for waking up late and having breakfast on the run
-Lots of vitamins and minerals
Cons:
-Very, very strong coffee smell in urine
-They do taste good, but you still know you are on a diet... not completely satisfying
 Very disappinted with the new taste. June 8, 2010

I used to love this stuff. It was tasty, filling, and full of the right kind of nutrients. However, a while back they came up with a new formula or something I suppose, and the taste changed drastically. It tasted as if the milkshake had been mixed with some kind of bitter tasting medicine... it completely ruined the product for me. I won't be buying them anymore.
Pretty good so far June 1, 2010
Charlene Tong (Anaheim, CA USA)
This is mainly in response to the 6-pack Slim Fast Rich Chocolate Royale, but I can't seem to find it on Amazon now. Anyway, I just wanted to say that the price on here is ridiculous for the 6-pack because I purchased mine from Wal-Mart for $5.00. So for those that shop Wal-Mart, go there!
I'm starting my Slim Fast diet today and so far so good. I was actually surprised because I was hesitant on how it might taste or the consistency, but it's good! The Rich Chocolate Royale DOES taste like a milkshake. Next time I'm going to try what one person suggested and blend it with ice which I'm sure will be yummy! So far so good, a good easy breakfast that gives you loads of nutrients (I was surprised by that too!). Remember that the only key to losing weight is a healthy diet plus regular exercise so don't expect to just replace Slim Fast with an actual chewable meal and think you can lose weight.
