Reviews:
Loaded with sugar. Tastes good, but not a weight loss product, as
advertised. August 25, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The only thing good I can say about this product is that it
tastes good. That is true of the entire
Slim Fast line of products. They all
taste good. But due to the high sugar content they are not weight loss
products as the name of the product and company advertising suggests. The
Optima line of Slimfast products reduces, but does not eliminate the volume
of sugar. This is really stupid on the part of the
Slim Fast Company. They
could have eliminated sugar all together and replaced it with Splenda. Then
they would have actually had a weight loss product. But due to the low cost
of sugar and the fact that most people prefer the taste of sugar, they chose
to "reduce" the sugar content. The smart consumer will not buy this product,
unless you have no need for weight loss, and don't mind buying a good
tasting product from a company that misleads the public in their
advertising.
Since the main ingredient in all
Slim Fast products is sugar, their products
have absolutely no weight-reducing characteristic. I tried the
Slim Fast
products and program myself, so I know from my own experience that it does
not work!
The US Department of Agriculture did many studies to result in their well
know "food guide pyramid." It states that "sweets should be used sparingly."
Consuming meals of primarily sugar in 2 out of every 3 meals consumed (the
widely published Slimfast diet plan), could not possibly be described as
using sweets sparingly.
The Nutrition Action Health letter website indicates: "Sugar is a waste of
calories, promotes obesity, causes tooth decay, and dilutes the nutritional
quality of your diet."
Whole books have been written on the relationship between sugar and obesity,
probably the most famous is Sugar Busters!: Cut Sugar to Trim Fat (ISBN:
0345425588). The author's abstract: "Low-fat diets don't work. The reason:
because they are high in sugar. Sugar produces insulin that, in large
amounts, keeps weight from coming off -- in spite of strict dieting and
exercise."
People who have claimed to have lost weight on the
Slim Fast plan did so only
because they ate small quantities of Slimfast products and small quantities
of everything else. The same result could be produced by a "candy bar diet."
If you ate small quantities of candy bars and small quantities of everything
else, you would lose weight. It is a rare person who could stick to such a
plan for very long.
Slim Fast claims that their products cause weight loss
make no more sense than if candy bar makers started claiming that a diet of
small quantities of candy bars cause weight loss. This line of sugar-loaded
products simply does not do what it claims to do.
