Hi everyone,
I've just started Let's Do Lunch, today and I'm finishing the day with a slimfast smoothie with bananas and strawberries. Is that a mistake. I hope we can use the slimfast as our smoothies.
Thanks, Kelly

Re: Slimfast?
No, Kelly - Slimfast is not LDL approved. I'm pretty sure it has sugar in it. If you make a smoothie with all fresh fruit and juices, you won't believe the incredible taste... far better than one with the slimfast.
You can put any fruits in any quantities - experiment! I love bananas, so I always make sure I put bananas in mine. I buy the huge bags of frozen fruit from BJ's (or Costco or Sams) and use some of the mixed fruit and some of the strawberries. Sometimes I add canned pineapple (in it's own juice) and most times I use orange juice as the liquid. Very filling and VERY good!

Re: Slimfast?
KellyB,
Please do not use slimfast. It is NOT good for your body. When I was involved with another health food company they talked about how bad slimfast was for your body. I do believe they knew what they were talking about. So, please eat the LDL foods...and make LDL smoothies...but please DO NOT USE SLIMFAST. There are so many LDL foods we can eat that I really wouldn't want to have to go back to drinking slimfast to lose weight. Just keep on keeping on...on LDL...and you will lose all the weight you want to lose...and it will taste better. Plus your body is getting the benefits of chewing, and eating real foods.
Love,
Jeanne

Re: Slimfast?
You can use any juice as long as it has no added sugars. I like orange juice, apple juice, and sometimes will use a cranberry combination with no added sugars. Experiment and switch around, that way you never tire of it.

Re: Slimfast?
Good morning!
Thank you for all the replies to my question about juices, specifically OJ. I did pick up some 100% OJ yesterday, so today is day 1 for me. About 6 yrs ago, I did lose 86lbs in 4 months by eliminating all flour & sugar, I weighed and measured my 3 meals with nothing in between. I had to attend food addict meetings and call my sponsor everyday...just like in AA and they follow the 12 steps just using food instead. I know the Lord Jesus took me out of that because by the 5th month, I started sneaking sugar and it was all down hill from there. My deepest desire is to glorify Him with my body which is His temple. I am so thankful for this forum and for each one here. Looking forward to all that the Lord has for me. Have a blessed day!
In His amazing love & grace,
Mary Ann
