Celebrity Slim Shakes



Celebrity slim shakes are a meal replacement diet program which replaces 2 of your regular daily meals with a nutritional shake. Similar to the popular Slim Fast brand, Celebrity Slim features additional ingredients which boost fat loss, such as green tea extract and whey protein. Acording to their official website it caters for both men and women, has gained worldwide recognition, and has over many dieters with it’s no nonsense approach to weight loss.
How do Celebrity Slim shakes work?

The main focus behind Celebrity Slim shakes is reducing carbohydrate intake and raising the amount of protein consumption.

Using Celebrity Slim Shakes

A person’s typical 2-3 meals-per-day is dropped in favour of 5-6 small meals, with breakfast and lunch being replaced by a Celebrity Slim shake. Dinner stays unaffected by the diet plan, but should be based on a healthy and nutritionally balanced meal. Celebrity slim approved snacks are permitted mid-morning, mid-afternoon and supper, and should consist of half a portion of fruit or small handful of nuts.

Ingredients in Celebrity Slim Shakes

According to the makers each Celebrity Slim Shake sachet contains a nutritionally balanced combination of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and soluble fibre, to sustain your energy while you lose weight. They also contain several important nutrients that can help accelerate weight loss and improve your health such as:


  • Green tea extract, which is rich in antioxidants, has been shown to accelerate natural fat burning, resulting in quicker weight loss.
  • Dairy Calcium, a source of calcium and minerals extracted from milk, has been shown in several studies to stimulate fat loss.
  • Caseinate, a dairy protein rich in amino acids, provides you with a feeling of fullness to help control your appetite.
  • Whey Protein Concentrate provides high levels of certain amino acids which have been shown to assist in weight loss. It is also a rich source of easily digested proteins and immune enhancing nutrients to boost your health and immunity.
  • Soy Protein Isolate contains specific plant nutrients, known as Isoflavones, that help regulate many body processes to keep hormone and energy systems in balance.


What about calories?

The Celebrity Slim shake programme is designed so that you don't really need to count calories. By following their simple guidelines, it is suggested that you'll not only cut back the amount of carbohydrates you eat, but in most cases you'll reduce your overall daily calorie consumption.

Remember

No side effects have been reported, and the diet plan is widely regarded as a safe when followed correctly. However don’t use Celebrity Slim Program if you have any medical conditions or are taking any medication. It is also not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 16 years of age.

Our View

Put simply, at €42.99 for 10 shakes this is an expensive diet to be on compared to similar products such as Slim Fast which offer a similar diet plan for around half the price. Slim fast is also a more established dieting brand and doesn’t rely on promoting itself with a shiny wrapper like this product. What we do like however is its online programme to encourage weight loss, its range of products which can replace the shakes if you get bored with them (Bars, soups etc.), its healthy recipes to use these products in; and of course the fact that their online support does promote increasing physical activity levels at every opportunity. So maybe if Slimfast is not your ‘thing’ this could be worth a try.
