Slim Fast Recalls "not the only reason to avoid it!!"

Just last week Slim-Fast recalled their meal replacement drinks due to bacteria contamination. This is not the only reason people who are trying to lose weight permanently should avoid slim-fast. I have yet to see anyone taking slim-fast as a diet aid get permanent results. People who are taking slim-fast either are restricting their calories too low or not getting enough protein in their diet due to slim-fasts low protein intake(their regular formula only has 2 grams of protein, and their high protein formula has a low protein content of 7 grams). Your body needs protein to develop toned lean tissue and helps to decrease your hunger. Most people do not realize even if they are not lifting weights; they need a sufficient amount of protein in their diets to prevent loss of metabolism AKA muscle tone. The muscle tone helps keep your metabolism steady, so when you lose 20 pounds you will not yo-yo back up because of metabolism loss. If you are looking for a meal replacement take whey or soy protein it will decrease your appetite, make your body burn more calories through digestion, and maintain or increase muscle tone.
