Does Slim Fast really fill people up?

Question:

I had my wisdom teeth out and can't eat a lot so my doc told me to drink shakes (ensure was too expensive) so I am drinking slim fast but they definately are not filling. Are these things really supposed to replace meals??

Answers:
Yes. They are-but they are not filling. You might try a smoothie made from fruit and plain yogurt. Put 3-4 ice cubes in a blender, along with a banana, and about 4-5 large strawberries. Add a spoonful of yogurt. Yum! It will fill you up and it's good for you, too.

yeah if you drink like six of them

they don't give you enough energy. for someone on a diet it is better just to reduce portions. you can try your own home made milkshakes with fresh milk and fruit - banana and strawberry are particularly good. I used to drink a Slimfast and eat a sugar free Jello every single night at work and I was completely full for at least 5 hours. it works for some people, I suppose.

They are dietary supplements. Personally, if you're not on a diet and if they aren't filling you up, try something else. My friend had all her wisdom teeth pulled out at one time, so she existed on soup, pureed food, and other mushy stuff. What she ate was certainly more sustaining than those shakes.

For some people liquid just doesn't satisfy them as does a meal with solid food. The Slim Fast drinks are supposed to have the calories and nutrients you need (in place of a solid food meal) but may not satisfy you. I ate a lot of mashed potatoes when I had my wisdom teeth out, many years ago.

I have the same problem, course i'm a 220 lbs male.

Here is what i suggest. Go have someone buy whey protein, peanut butter, hurshey's syrup and ice. (if you don't have ice.)

Put two scoops of whey protien into a blender, one table spoon of peanut butter in the blender when a teaspood of hershy's in the blender. And of course a cup of ice (usually put that in first). And a smidge of water so the ice breaks up easily.

Blend until you have smoothie, not only does it taste like a reeces peanut butter cup, you have your protein which will fill you up.

Yea but they are very fatening. Your better off getting like boneless chicken from Tyson. It has the same about of calories. about 1.5 grams of fat per chicken and is definately more filling I just started a Slim Fast diet. The shakes keep me full for about 2 hours then all of the sudden I'm starving and more likely to get off of my diet. I have started eating a piece of fruit with the shake (maybe something soft like a banana would be a good choice for you) and that seems to help. I have also heard that after about a week the hunger gets easier to deal with.I'm still waiting. I will say one positive thing though; I think the shakes taste good.
