All good so far I think.Can any tell me with the snacks is it fine to have a slim a soup as these are only 52 calories and a muller light yoghurt as this is only 100 calories  as a snack.Worked out first shake is 9.30 and second shake is 2.30 although for first maybe second week am having extra shake n no meal,like Cambridge diet

GOOD LUCK LADIES :) we can beat our fattie bits  haha

Day 3 for me and seem to be doing ok ..... Am having slim a soup for mid afternoon snack as only 52 calories which is a bonus as trying not to have any snacks just my shakes.Finding it very hard to drink the amount of water as hate drinking plain water but drinking half pint every time have a cuppa :)

Good luck to everyone think positive think slim

Hi all! For those who haven't met me, I'm the community manager, Alex. Welcome -and good luck!

Don't worry about cutting out more or swapping more meals - as long as you follow the plan, you should still lose weight, and experts recommend a steady loss of 1-2lbs per week. Remember, when you combine 2 Slim·Fast meal replacements, 2 to 3 healthy snacks (under 100 calories), and a sensible third meal of 600 calories, you can get all the daily nutrition you need whilst losing weight. The Slim·Fast 3·2·1 Plan provides 1200 to 1400 calories per day, which is a safe and effective level for weight loss.

We asked our nutritionist, Fiona, about drinks on the plan (as all fluids count towards your 6-8 glasses a day, including tea, coffee and low-cal squashes etc). She said:

You can drink as much black tea and coffee as you like. If you use milk in your tea and coffee you need to bear in the mind that the milk you use adds extra calories, so skimmed or 1% fat milk is the best choice.

35mls of skimmed milk (which is the amount typically added to a cup of tea or coffee) contains about 11 calories, 50mls of skimmed milk (which is the amount typically added to a mug of tea or coffee) contains 16 calories.

• 35mls 1% fat milk = 15 calories

• 50mls  1% fat milk = 21caloires

You should always make the shakes as recommended on the can or sachet, which is with skimmed milk, this is because milk provides protein and vitamins which your body needs.
