Never.  Slim Fast has too many vitamins and minerals and unnatural things that your body can't process.  Can cause gallstones.  My mom's doctor calls it "a surgeon's best friend" because it makes so many people have gallstones.

You definitely don't want to do it fast.  1 to 2 pounds per week is recommended by a doctor.  If you lose more than that, you are prone to problems, and also, what many people don't know is that, if you lose weight too quickly, it actually ages you.  I know a guy who dropped like 30 pounds in a month, and he looks terrible.  He aged like 20 years.  Do it the right way.  You'll feel better too.

At your age you shouldn't worry about weight fat or anything like that.  You have yet to hit puberty.  When you do your going to grow fast and you will get thin.  Give your self another 10-15 years before you begin to worry about your weight!  I used to be chunky at your age.  Six years later I was skinny as a rail, and that's pretty much stayed with me since then (that was 9 years ago for me).  I didn't diet (I ate like a pig actually) and I did some excercise, but not alot.  It stayed with me because I had a healthy life style of eating balanced diet and excercised as I grew.  I still keep up with that.  Also Genetics will play into your weight some.  I'm built exactily like my mom.  I can look at here and see what I will look like 20 years from now (and I probably won't change much from my current looks).  Don't worry about your weight unless you are way over or under your BMI (Body Mass Index) for your height.  Do a search for your BMI, that will give you a good idea.

If you stick to only one it's boring....\n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

If you have six weeks try Slim in 6. With my second baby I lost 47 pounds I gained and then 5 more. You might think that is not alot but when you are 5 feet it is. The stories on the website are really inspiring.  Also I'm reading Total Body Makeover by Bob Greene.  All the stories in the book are inspiring checkout the websites.

Think about it...if diet pills worked, would there be any fat people??  No way!  Now for your age, I'd say all you need to do is eat correct portions, stop the fast food and drink alot of water (no sodas) and up your activity to about 30 minutes a day.  And you can do that in 10 minute incriments.  Say you ride a bike for 10 minutes, then walk 10 minutes, then go walking in the mall for 10 minutes....it all adds up to 30 minutes and is the same as doing 30 min. at the time.  Look up "Exchange Diet " on line and you'll find one that will fit your life style.  You have to burn up 3500 calories in order to lose a pound.  So if you're losing 1-3 pounds a week, you're doing good.  Just stick to a wholesome variety of whole grains, fresh fruit/veggies and lean meats and the moderate activity and the pounds will melt off.  Don't be so hard on yourself.  If you lose just 5 lbs. that will be a great accomplishment!  God bless!

It sounds like you're already doing the right things.  Try varying the type of exercise you do, as you can hit exercise plateaus as well as weight loss plateaus. Make sure your exercise plan includes cardio, strength-training & flexibilty.  Strength training is SO IMPORTANT to losing weight; more muscle=more metabolism.\nYou might want to try something like slim-fast. Replace a couple of meals a day with a shake (it tastes better than it used to!).  I have 2 slim fast meals per day (Monday-Friday) with a scoop of protein powder in each and I work out 4 hours a week. I lost 12# in 3 weeks.  Check my weight-loss blog for more info. (Not selling anything! It's free info.)

well, of course, everybody is going to tell you:\n\nCarefully watch the foods you eat over this period you want to get slim quick (of course you should watch what you eat anyways because if you try some crash diet thing or short term diet, you will gain it all back and MORE when you are done).  EAT SLOWLY.  You will eat less and be just as full.\nAlso, eat smaller meals throughout the day rather than one or two BIG meals.\n\nCalories burned has to be more than Calories taken in.\n\nWater, water, water.  Pound it.\n\nExercise.  Swimming is generally considered one of the best overall exercises you can do for your body.  NO impact, total body workout.  Upper body, lower body, and abs.  Also, if you are looking at certain body parts, work those more.  Pick up a few fitness magazines at the store.  They always have good ideas and workout plans.\n\nMake your entire day your workout.  When you're walking somewhere, walk briskly.\n\nAnd FORGET those get fit quick schemes.  That 24 hour hollywood diet (laxative), slimfast shakes, "eat this powerbar instead of a whole meal" plans.  All you'll end up doing is eating the shake or bar, still feel hungry, and eat anyways, making you GAIN weight.\n\nAnd unless you are morbidly obese, don't do that stupid no-carb thing.  Its retarded, people are idiots.  If you eat no carbs, that means less energy.  Eventually, your body will compensate by lowering your metabolism to burn less energy at any given time.  Then when you eventually get tired of that fad (which you would), you'll gain a TON of weight becuase your metabolism dropped so much.\n\nAlthough, it IS a good short term weight loss technique.  However, you are NOT supposed to stay on it for more than a week (two weeks TOP).  Anything after that and you are actually damaging your body.  Remember the guy who invented the Atkins diet.  Died of heart disease i think it was.

I had this problem when I was young. You are 14, so your metobolic rate is extremely high, you can eat and eat, but you are still burning a ton of calories, sorry if this isn't nice news.  Once you turn about 19 or 20, trust me, your metobolic rate will go down!  I am 23 and I started gaining weight when I was 21, not much but enough that I no longer look like a toothpick.\nBest of Luck!

walk,walk,walk---and drink alot of water. My son is 12 and is at 174...We are beginning to start the same for him. Also trim all fat from meat and eat salads. And eat your veggies plain. Limit your starches but remember you do need some carbs for energy. Good luck to you and be sensible and careful. Your health is most important so don't try those "quicky fad things" that can cause you problems. And remember-----you are you from the inside out, and if you glow from within,THAT will shine on the outside...Oh and if you are wanting a snack,try a glass of water first with a piece of fruit or celery and peanut butter...

Have a slim fast shake WITH your meals\n\nThere are also weight gain products that you can get from stores like GNC that work well.  Each shake has about 1000-2000 calories

Never skip breakfast. You just have fruit juice (freshly squeezed ! not in packets) and eat more organic food. You may excersize and burn off fats, but if you still eat junk food, then it eaquals to nothing. Eat more organic vegetables and try your best not to eat junk food, you can eat some but maybe just once a month. Put less oil in your food and try eating raw salad without the sauces. Control your diet and read up on health nutrients. Don't eat fruits or drink water straight after meals as it will make digestion uneasy. eat fruits maybe 1hrs after meal or eat it before your meal (but not straight before) . Snacks could be vegetables instead of chips. You can drink clear vegetable soup, don't drink fatty or cream soups that ofter. try to brew your own soup and not from cans. Look at every ingredients. it should not have vegetable shortening, this is bad. make sure what you eat is organic and natural, not full of chemicals and fats. Try not to drink low-fat milk as it is WORSE tahn natural ones, really. if you want a healthy and fit life, try not to eat all you want and drink all you want. Search for ForMor and check it out. the supplements there are really good especially the vitamin C. My mom tried it and now she lost about 5kg (not that she wanted to be thin, it comes naturally when you take care of your body). Think of being healthy instead of being slim. thinking of your health will automaticly make you slim !!

The best way is to see pictures of slim people.During a diet programme, just give yourself a treat(buy something), once a week, to motivate yourself to continue the diet programme.

slim fast is a meal replacement- works great and you can get the low carb shakes. milk will only add a few extra calories. take a multivitamin too, stick to it and work out. you can't go wrong.
