some of our members.  I'm sure lots of you are busy with summer fun and kids plus vacation and some are too busy to post and just lurking.  It's time to check in and let us know you're still around. 


Maz, Kim, Michelle (are you safe in Texas), Deb, Lindsy, Catherine....yohoooooooo


Just stop in and say "Hi"

I was just wondering about you! Glad to see you're still around, and hopefully we'll see you back in the DYKs once school starts!

This is the "official word" on Slim fast:


Whole foods are always the best choice. If you choose, you can use meal replacement shakes starting in Phase 1. They should not contain high fructose corn syrup or trans fats. You'll find this information on the "Nutrition Facts" label and the list of ingredients.


For Slim-Fast shakes, the best choice is their 'low carb' variety. Low carb products are not preferred, but acceptable with some items. We encourage a low-fat dairy serving and vegetables to make the meal more complete.


Since we all have hectic schedules, it can be tempting to grab a meal replacement shake instead of fixing a meal. While these products are ok for those occasional days when you simply don't have any time at all, let's see if we can find ways to help you plan ahead. We want you to learn healthy eating habits right from the start of the SBD!


First, let me direct you to the 'adapt your meal plan' page, located under 'food & recipes' in the left column. You'll find a sample meal plan, a list of foods to enjoy, and suggested portion sizes. You'll also find great menu ideas at the 'quick meals' section. Many of our SBD members use these pages as a way to meet their individual preferences and lifestyles.


Again, whole foods are always the best choice. When you do not have the time to prepare a meal, you can utilize a meal replacement shake as a safety net. How often you use them is a personal choice.


Enjoy the smooth taste of Slimfast shakes with a little crunch of veggie!



Nutritiously yours,

Ann Margaret/SBD Registered Dietitian
