Slimfast is one weightloss plan I go back to again and again because for me it works. I like knowing what I am going to be eating during the day, I enjoy the shakes and I like the ready packed snacks which are easy to grab on the go.
Slimfast have just relaunched their products along with a new image and some great new products which I am going to share with you and let you know what I think.
Above you can see the newly launched 7 day starter box, a fabulous introduction into the world of Slimfast that comes with enough snacks and meal replacement products to last you a week along with recipe ideas for your evening meals. For anyone that hasn’t tried Slimfast before this is a great way to get introduced to the various products on offer and taste a variety of flavours. Included are a selection of ready made shakes, meal replacement bars and snacks, including crisp type snacks and chocolate bars.
Personally I love the savoury snack bags of Sour Cream and Chive Pretzels or Cheddar Cheese Bites, they are just what you need mid morning to keep you going and replace a high calorie bag of crisps that I’d usually grab!
The 3.2.1. plan allows you to have three snacks a day, two meal replacements (either a shake or meal bar) and one healthy evening meal.
A new product to the Slimfast range are noodle boxes! The amazing thing about these noodle snack boxes are that all the flavours contain less than 100 calories with the Spicy Thai flavour containing just 70 calories. These can be replaced instead of any snack and are a great alternative if you are looking forward to a savoury snack. They come in three flavours, Chicken Tikka Masala (81 cals), Spaghetti Bolognase (76 cals) and Spicy Thai (70 cals) which is a vegetarian one.
They are made with SlimTaki® noodles which are made from konjac, the Asian root vegetable that contains virtually no calories and zero fat and sugar. So what do they taste like? I have to say I was very impressed, they come with a thick, rich sauce and smell delicious. What I would never believe though is that there are just 70 calories in a box, that’s quite amazing and there is not much else you can eat for such a low amount other than a piece of fruit!
I started the 7 day plan and find it really easy to follow. For me to stick to a plan I have to know exactly what I’m eating so I get all my snacks and meal replacements out the night before. You can eat other snacks instead of the ones provided and I often add a piece of fruit or low fat yoghurt into my day. I also find it important to plan my evening meal and although there are some recipe ideas included in 7 day starter box, I did find that there are many more idea on the Slimfast website. Knowing what I am eating is half the battle of losing weight for me and being planned helps me keep on track and get the results.
So for my results:
I lost 6lb in 7 days – yay!!! I do find that in the first few days of following the plan I lose a lot of water, especially if I’ve not been eating so well in the few weeks before. I know in future weeks I can only expect to lose around 2lbs per week if I stick to the plan but that’s good for slow steady weightloss that’s maintainable.
I really enjoy the Slimfast plan as it allows me to eat food I like, a lot of the snacks feel like treats and a 600 calorie dinner at the end of the day feels quite generous. I add plenty of vegetables and it’s easy to fill full after eating a big plateful even though it’s low calorie.

Well done on your weight loss. I like the idea of the starter kit to take a lot of the decisions away as to what to buy.
Sounds great, hope it goes well for you! x
I’m guessing the spicy noodle box tastes better than it smells? They were giving these out at a wedding fayre I attended and I managed to get 3 boxes (all spicy noodle flavour). I took one to work and didn’t even bother cooking it as the smell put me off. Just thought I’d give it another go and actually cook it this time. I got to a minute before I had to stop the microwave and bin them. They smell foul, I actually felt like throwing up which is probably why they are so low in calories. I’d be interested to know if the other flavours are any better but from seeing how expensive they are I wouldn’t be willing to risk trying a different flavour. If they were trying to advertise their new products using this as their star item, I don’t think its the best strategy!!
They are jank … Its just what i imagine worms to taste like, slimy and crunchy yuk
I was tryna see where you order the starter pack with the noodles in it from
