You should take a look at the slim fast website. The "slim fast diet" has changed. No longer are they saying to replace 2 meals with only the shake. They now have you drink the shake with fruit or a waffle, even a bagle with jelly. They have a new system where you can create customized meal plans, find a slim fast buddy to communicate with and information on fitness. A much impoved step up from the old "slim fast diet"
