Slim-Fast has the solution for a fresh start in 2012!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast. All opinions are 100% mine.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am constantly on a diet.  Sometimes I do very well.  About two years ago, I dropped 62 pounds.  I was running marathons.  I was loving shopping for clothes.  I was full of energy.  But I’m an emotional eater and when my father died at Christmas time in 2009, everything fell apart around me.

Over the past two years, I have put all that weight back on.  And I really can’t stand how I feel.  So it seems, with the anniversary of my dad’s passing, that I need something to pull me back together.  And when the folks at Slim-Fast contacted me and asked me to try their new shakes, it just seemed like destiny.
In the most exciting launch for the brand in years, Slim-Fast has introduced its richest, creamiest, best-tasting shakes ever – all inside a deliciously convenient bottle that’s designed to go everywhere – from your purse to your desk or gym bag. Their 3-2-1 diet plan is so simple, I can find no reason not to follow it.

• 3 Snacks: Three nourishing snacks a day such as Slim-Fast 100-calorie snack bars, fruit, nuts or veggies.  I have been taking a banana, a pear and a container of yogurt for snacks each day.  I love the convenience of simple easy to grab snacks.
                                             
  •  2 Slim-Fast Shakes or Meal Bars per day.

  • 1 Balanced Meal: Enjoy one balanced 500-calorie meal per day. As a rule, try to fill half your plate with veggies, a quarter with protein, and a quarter with whole grains.
Now lets talk about those shakes.  Slim-Fast has recently come up with a whole new line of flavors guaranteed to wow your taste buds and provide up to four hours of hunger control.  Each shake offers 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber and 24 essential vitamins and minerals. And check out the new flavors!

• Creamy Milk Chocolate
• French Vanilla
• Rich Chocolate Royale
• Cappuccino Delight
• Strawberries N’ Cream


I have to tell you that the Cappuccino Delight is amazing.  I have been pouring it over ice and drinking it in the morning on my way to work.  And it tastes just like a Vanilla Iced Coffee!  Yummm!  I’ve also tried the Creamy Milk Chocolate and Strawberries N’ Cream and they are all very tasty and keep me satisfied for hours.

If you are wanting to get a jumpstart on the holidays, the Slim-Fast plan is a convenient way to help keep the holiday pounds from creeping on.  And for those like me that just need a new start, well it is the perfect way to bring in the new year.  The new Slim-Fast shakes  are available in the pharmacy sections of grocers and retailers nationwide, including Wal-Mart, Target, Safeway and Kroger and online at Amazon.com and the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Store on Facebook.

I’ve been on the plan now for four days, and have lost six pounds.  I’m not ready to run any marathons of course, but it certainly is a great start.
