Please Critique My Daily Diet, I Just Started Using Slim Fast Optima About 14 Days Ago.?
Daily diet:
3-4 slim fast optimas anytime between 8am and 6pm according to my schedule. (I am a college student, thus the need for convenience and portability for all meals & snacks except dinner.)
For dinner, I generally alternate between having a 300 calorie frozen dinner or having fish (tilapia) and broccoli.
I will also eat 200 calories worth of lightly salted rice cakes, and an apple at some time during the day, although some days I will have neither of these.
Questions:
Is it okay to have 3-4 slimfast optimas a day? I know that some vitamins cause ill effects in excess and the shakes are fortified.
My total calories per day range from 1200-1350. My current weight is 281. Is this a proper range of calories? I know that too few could kick me into “starvation mode” and cause my metabolism to slow, in turn, slowing my weight loss. I have to admit though, that I’ve always been skeptical of this. Don’t most bariatric surgeries boil down to forced starvation?
im on the slim fast optima plan too, & you’er only suppose to have two slim fasts a day.
one in the morning
a light snack
another slim fast and like a half of sandwich
a light snack
and then a sensible dinner
and you can have a snack later on that night.
if you need to know anything else let me know,
we can be slim fast partners

I agree with Ms. LiLi re the number of slims – two a day, max. You should also get in at least 30 minutes a day of exercise, worst case, just walking, best case alternating aerobic and strength training. Check to see if there is a free student nutrition/diet/exercise program on campus. good luck!!
