Mixing, is this ok?

A pal has given me quite a lot of slim and save products that she had left over when she stopped the diet.

As far as I can see from their website, they seem very similar content, calorie and carb wise to the CD, does anyone know if its ok to use them while I am on the CD SS?

I mix mine up all the time CWP/slim&save/exante and the odd Atkins meal bar too and have lost 2stone in under a month done me no harm xx

Aw that's brilliant, thanks so much, I thought i might have to chuck them out

I have about 3 weeks worth of AllAboutWeight which I am keeping for emergencies.
They have the same basic calorie content except you have 4 shakes per day.

If I am feeling ultra peckish or ready to wobble, I have them handy as a standby.

I think all VLCD Shake type packs should be fairly similar if they are done under the correct VLCD rules (i.e. I wouldn't swap in Slim Fast)

cheers Tilly, my CDC is away soon for two weeks which means putting a huge order in which I will struggle with financially, I am ok if I can buy a weeks worth at a time so these freebies have come at just the right time!

Yes I know what you mean. It's a big layout for 2 weeks. My CDC charges £45/week for my 21 meals...regardless of shake/sop/tetra/bar. But at the moment I am only have shakes with a couple of emergency tetras.

7 bars, 7 porridge and 7 shakes is £45.50 for me
