Are slim fast shakes a good source of nutrition to lose weight?

Slim Fast: Slim fast is fairly high in sugar (18g/serving) and low in protein (10g). Plus it has other additives in it that may or may not agree with your system. http://tinyurl.com/n4reuma for a healthful protein shake, you can do a lot better.

Yes: They contain the vitamins and minerals., and protein and carbohydrates that could substitute for a meal. You should still try to eat at least one sensible meal a day.
