There is no set amount you should have each day... and no, I don't believe Slim Fast is a good way to lose weight... The Cardio's fine... reducing fat in your diet is fine... Fruit for snacks is fine (Although I would suggest replacing the Banana for something else)... try for 6 small meals per day... forget about Slim Fast. Make sure you're working INTENSELY when you go to the gym... light exercise doesn't help much. Name: Adrien Date: Jun. 30th, 2001 Title: Re: ASK EXPERT -am I Doing Right? I agree with Adrien. Slim Fast has way too much sugar. Try replacing that with protein shakes. The brand Designer has really good tasting ones. They are low in sugar and carbs, but high in protein. Fruit is also high in sugar, so try replacing the banana with raw veggies. Carrots and broccoli are good. Veggies give you the good carbs your body needs for energy.I'm not an expert, but I work in a gym and I speak from experience. I used to be overweight and I just want to share the things that have helped me!

Raveena, Go to GNC or any health food store, buy the powdered shake by the brand Designer. (chocolate and vanilla praline are best tasting) Also, pick up one of those shaker cups they sell for, like, 5 bucks. This helps you measure. The best mix is 2 scoops of powder with 12 ounces of milk. I use 1% milk. I also have a hand held blender that makes it clump-free, but Designer is supposed to be clump resistant, anyways, so shaking it just may do the trick. Protein shakes are best for breakfast, and after a workout. Protein helps your muscles recover so there is less soreness after weight training.
