Right now I'm eating a Belgium one but I also like the EAS vanilla powder -great taste and not too expensive. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

This is exactly what you do not want. Start out with very small meals spread out 4 - 6 times a day. I am also wondering if you are not hungry because you are taking, perhaps unwittingly, some form of appetite suppressant. Do you drink coffee or some other caffeine source? If yes, stop it (at least until you start eating more regularly). Do you smoke? It also kills your appetite. Good luck! -------------- Peter New York, New York

Your body is the same way, in order for it to release the fat, it has to be continously fed (every 1 1/2 to 2 hours). Even if you start out with light things like a banana, a cup of cottage cheese, yogurt. Start with small things and gradually work up to better meals, you will find yourself feeling better in no time. -------------- Bettia....

Just compare the ingredients on slimfast to a real meal replacement and you will make your own decision after seeing all the bad fats and carbs it contains. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt!
