Since having a baby I have been asked many times how I lost the baby weight, especially how I was able to do it quickly. So, I thought I would share my secret with a clearer explanation and with measurements, along with some variations.
Thanks for all your DMs and emails the other day, I hope this answers all your questions.
Rapid Weight Loss
Drink yourself skinny! Do these shakes twice a day as meal replacements. Use water instead of milk and if you’re going to use a banana twice a day incorporate prune juice into at least one of your shakes.
You can ditch the prune juice altogether if you use one banana per day and substitute with a different fruit such as blueberries or raspberries.
Slim-Fast – 1 scoop
Prune Juice – 1/4 cup or less
Peanut Butter Powder – 1 1/2 TBS => this is really yummy if you use a vanilla slim fast
Fruit – 1 whole banana or 1/2 cup of fruit of your choice
Ice – 1 cup 8-9 cubes
Water – 8 fluid ounces or 1 cup
Blend
This recipe makes 24-26 ounces drink it all 🙂
For weight maintenance I make one of these shakes for breakfast I love the way it tastes and how I feel when I do.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
You are such a awesome mom.
cant wait to try it. Bren trying to loose wait for the last 18 monThs… want to get prEgO again but i need to shed atleast 40 pounds. Have you tried the ready to drink ones ?
Thank You;)
Those are nasty!!!! If you have access to a blender do the shake recipe. Also I think the premade ones are milk based? And with my recipe you stay fuller for way longer 🙂
HOw lOng did you do two shakes a day for?
2 months I dropped the pounds so fast!!! And so will you. My husband does it too and has amazing success as well
So do you drink the shakes for breakfast and lunch and hAve a normal dinner? If so, what do you have For dinner? Thank you!
What do you eat for dinner? Excited to try this! Thanks Shannon!
So do you have the shakEs for lunch and breakFast and then have a regular dinner? If so, what do you eat for dinner? Thank you!
Is slim fast safe for
Breastfeeding?
Does this affect your milk supply? Im breastfeedIng and worried That doing meal replacement will affect my milk supply. Very curious to know your experience!! ThAnks!
No my milk supply has never been affected by it as long as I am drinking 8 glasses of water a day and doing this 🙂
Yes! I have only used formula a handful of times between all my children combined and they have all been very healthy weight , other than Holland she was severely tip and tongue tied we got that fixed and she was fine. I don’t use prune juice when breastfeeding.
I do it twice a day until I am at my goal weight and for dinner I have anything. I try to eat healthy and cook but sometimes we go out. I love sushi burritos and subway sandwiches or like a cafe rio burrito – so really just eat regular dinner 🙂
You’ll honestly see major results quick! I don’t even stress about the gym anymore bc of it. I now workout for fun and for extra endorphins.
For dinner I have anything. I try to eat healthy and cook but sometimes we go out. I love sushi burritos and subway sandwiches or like a cafe rio burrito – so really just eat regular dinner
Yes I have it twice a day until I reach my goal weight and then I switch to twice a day. I have anything for dinner. I try to eat healthy and cook but sometimes we go out. I love sushi burritos and subway sandwiches or like a cafe rio burrito – so really just eat regular dinner
Can this be blended ahead of time? Or is it better freshly blended? Like could i make my lunch One in the morning & refrigerate it at work?
How long after having your baby did you start drinking this twice a day?
Hi, im from Australia and i cant really get slim fast here. Do you know any other brand that would be good to Use?or any suggestions? Thanks ildi
Can you amazon it?
As soon as I left the hospital , so three days later 🙂
Shannon have you experienced any side Affects? Like dizzyness or light headed ?i have had really bad gas and Diarrhea maybe My body isnt use to All that prune Juice.
No it will separate and it will be nasty! You should get a magic bullet it is a tiny blender 🙂 It does have to be plugged in depending on what you do. I bring a magic bullet when I travel.
I’d lay off the prune juice and substitue a different fruit instead. I only got bad side effects when I had 2 bananas a day. It would constipate me. Thats why I started doing prune juice
You look amazing.do you have any pictures on your blog of your hUsbands results!!! I would love to see how its impacted him!
Wow you look really good i will try thos for sure when did you start seeing results?
Shannon how soon before you saw results ? You look really good by the way.

Blendtec at home Bullet blender when I travel
I take it day by day, I love blogging my life and products I’m passionate about
Yes, but I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it
I do it bc I think I can help others and I like to document my life
LOL I wish! He doesn’t like to be on here any more than he has too lol he’s actually the one that introduced me to slim fast he would do it on his business trips and when we would vacation
thank you I noticed a difference in my body weekly
Thank you , you’ll notice really soon like your body will look and feel different in a week

Kimberly thank you. I am posting less consistantly but better content, well that is my hope and my goal at this time. Thank you for following and for your sweet comment
If he’ll let me take some I would show but he is not as open about it as I am 🙂
I love your Blog and genuine excitement For motherhOod. So inspiring! What is the “rapid weight loss” option.
Thanks!!
When did you start this? curious if any risk from breastfeeding standpoint from ingredients or just keeping milk supply up?
Excited to try! just had my second baby and am struggling to lose the weight this time..first time was easy! please do more posts about what you do for dinners, workouts, skincare etc!
Katie thanks for writing me and congrats on baby no. 2 that is so fun and yes it gets harder I feel with each one. Do these shakes 2 x a day and eat a normal dinner and the weight will come off. I also have found that I don’t “have” to workout you know so it takes a huge amount of stress off
I started this when I got bells palsy with my second pregnancy bc I could only drink. I have since nursed three babies since starting this. As long as you drink lots of water and do these shakes your milk supply should be fine:)
I start this about a week or sooner after I have my newborn.
Lisa thank you 🙂 Rapid is 2 shakes a day : Maintain is 1 shake a day 🙂
Soyou have:
Shake for breakfast
Shake fOr lunch
Whatever for dinner
And no snackS in between?! How do yOu make it?i drink A TON Of water but that doesnt help when im hUngry
I only do two shakes a day when I want to lose weight quick. and when I do that I usually have my first shake around 9, second around noon and Dinner at 5
I’ll have a diet soda around 3. But again this is my rapid, don’t want to worry about weight anymore. Its hard but after 2 weeks I go back to normal.
Wow your pictures and videos of you body look amazing do you have any before and after pictures that you post for motivation i feel like i cant loose My last 20lbs It seems impossible just womdering how long it tooK you to loose That extra weight
wow did you feel like the shakes kept you full througout the day ?
How do you decide on what to add to your blog ? Are you passionate about certain things ? Swimsuits seem to be your thing 🙂
I’m also curious on what you decide to put on your blog. Multiple pictures of yourself in different poses seem a recurrent theme. Makes you seem extremely narcissistic. but your kids are cute though. 🙂
Liz I started out as a fashion blogger showcasing different clothes in different angles so that readers would buy my clothes hence all the pics of the same outfit. I still do that occasionally but now my job is to raise 4 kids. I post as often as I can, mostly posting about life and travel, I love travel those are my favorite posts. I post sponsored content.
I post as often as I can, I used to do a lot of fashion, but as my family gets bigger I’ve found my posts do better when I post about lifestyle. So I mostly post about life and travel, I love travel (hence the swimsuits lol) those are my favorite posts. I also post sponsored content.
What I found what works for me is a shake around 9, again at noon, a snack and an early dinner when I am doing the rapid weight loss program. 🙂
Is it safe taking while preg? If youre already over weight ?
HI! I am so excited to try! I am just wondering, is this an ad? or do you truly believe this? Are you getting a cut of money for saying this or is this truly your belief?
I wish I worked with slim-fast , not an add. This is 110% how I feel and what I do 🙂
Just want to add that I was skeptical of this (and can’t report the results yet since I’m only on day 3), but it’s actua;ly really good! I did the prune juice and the banana… and then added a tiny bit of vanilla extract and my whole family thought it was the best smoothie they’ve ever had.
Just thought I’d throw that out there 🙂 Thanks, Shannon. Hoping to report back some good results.
Quick question: how long did you stay on the rapid (2x per day) plan before you went to 1x per day?
Al! I am so glad you like it! It actually makes such a difference if you like it. Ill have to try the vanilla extract.
I did this for 2 strait months, I had 30 lbs to lose. I still had 5 lbs to lose when I went to 1 x a day and it came off in 2 weeks.
I hope you get the results you’re looking for 🙂
