    Do any of you know how many calories are in Slim-Fast ?
    I was also wondering if any of you had protien, carbo, fat
    comparisons of Slim-Fast vs Opti-Fast and Medi-Fast.
    
    Thanks

    My can of Ultra Slim-fast says it has 220 calories per
    serving if you use the 1% milk recommended.

|     If you use regular Slim-Fast, there are 190 calories in one scoopful
    in 8 oz. of skim milk.  The thing with Slim-Fast, is that they tell
    you to eat a well balanced dinner.

| 469.3 | slimfast with water? | CURIE::TZELLAS | Set Def [Atlantic.City] | Tue Jun 20 1989 09:16 | 10 | 
|     Does anyone know if Slimfast works  mixing with water instead of
    milk.  I don't like milk and I tried it mixing with water and 
    it isn't a bad taste.  I was just wondering if it will be
    effective that way.
    
    Thanks

| 469.4 | READ THE LABEL FOR CARBOS | SPGBAS::LEVITAN | Thu Jul 13 1989 11:12 | 17 | |
|     SlimFast is effective used with milk or water or soda - which is, as
    far as I'm concerned, the best taste.  The problem is not the calories
    as much as it is the amount of carbohydrate.  I went to OptiFast and
    since finishing the program, wanted a drink with similar ingrediants.
    I found it in the General Nutrition Center with a drink called
    Twinfast.  
    
    In reading the Woman Doctor's Diet for Women - she makes a good case
    for the problems women have with diets vs the problems men have.  One
    of them is that women HAVE to cut down their carbohydrates.  Therefore,
    I was interested in reading the label before I went back to SlimFast.
    
    If you still want to use the SlimFast - by all means go for the Ultra
    SlimFast - it's a better drink, more filling.
