celebrity slim

recovering_spendaholic

I have been reading through the last few pages of this thread with interest. I have alot of weight to lose and was referred by my GP to the local hospital's weight management clinic. I went last Friday and was surprised that the Doctor I saw said that he recommened programmes like CelebritySlim and Slimfast because he said that they helped to establish better discipline with food and had all the nutrients etc, so long as you still had one meal of proper food a day. He said that in his opinion there was no difference nutritionally between CS Slimfast or the Tesco own Ultraslim and I should choose whichever I felt was the most palatable. I bought a trial size CS and also a tin of Slimfast in cafe latte flavour. I preferred the taste of CS but to be honest there wasn't much in it - but the price difference amazed me. SF is currently on offer for £2.99 for 12 meals in Boots, whilst CS is £24.99 for 14 meals. Can any of you tell me why CS is so much more expensive? The nutritional information on SF and CS looked very similar. Well done to all of you who are losing weight so well! Iam terrible at sticking to diets but am hoping that with this it will remove food out of the equation for a good proportion of the day because I always overeat at lunch!

hi recovering spendaholic
ive tried slimfast in the past and didnt loose any weight and i stuck to it properly for about 2 weeks. i started c s on monday and have already lost 4 pounds. ive not been hungry at all on this diet and im not even hungry for my evening meal whereas i was with s f.
i think the way c s works (anyone correct me if im wrong please) is that it asks you to restrict carbs so that your body has to use your fat reserves as energy whereas s f doesnt work the same that just restricts your calories.
i really think you should give c s a try but id advise you to try just the shakes for the first week if your concerned about the cost as you can have low fat yogurt and fruit as your snacks.
i hope you do try it and post back on here as its great to read other peoples stories

I had spent so much time on the loo in the frist few days I just couldn't help myself getting on the scales......

blah well done! I didn't do a weigh in this week but I defiantely feel a difference in my trousers again so I do think I have lost more weight-just don't know how much.

It is encouraging to see newbies on here, has given me a kick up the bum to keep at it. We have decided that I am going to come of the pill probably in March or April and need to lose as much weigh asap before we ttc so that is my goal! I'm sure you lot will give me a virtual kick up the backside if I need it. x

hi every body..so coming to the end of the 1st week now...
Been easy enough and I have managed to keep away from temptation...even took my son to KFC today after he scored an amazing rugby try .Went to the drive thou and I had my C S shake.....love the choc orange flavour. I ready wasnt tempted.....how amazing is that..son gave me one small chip and I really didn't enjoy it.
I think i will have lost a great deal of weight this week ...
Also have got some Atkins bars today for a change I am presuming these are a meal replacement ??
