Body For Life works and works really well for overall body composition and fat loss. I know more than 2 dozen people (and myself) that have been really successful with it. Good luck.

You can't use slimfast. Too much sugar. Not enough protein.

Go to walmart or another store and buy bulk whey protein or whey/casein blend. You can mix this with milk or juice (after a workot only) and fruit to make the shakes. Look online for deals for myoplex and other MRPs (meal replacement powders). You can save a bundle.

BFL is not expensive - it's mainly about food and exercise and you don't need to drink a lot of shakes necessarily or take a ton of supplements. A multi-vitamin, creatine for after workouts and some fish oil capsules and protein powder or MRP will do. Green tea if you like it. There are tons of good shake recipes online and in the book.

Make sure you do the exercise -- especially the cardio on the other days at the intensity levels written. That is key in my experience.

I don't think slimfast would fit into any low carb, or good carb diet. It is full of sugar and will mess with your insulin levels
