I ran out of my meal replacement shakes and decided to purchase a can of Slimfast Soy Protein shake mix until I received my order from Medifast. I did notice Slimfast has a 26g carb count per serving and Medifast only has a 13g carb count. Should I be concerned with my carb intake while on the 5 and 1 meal plan?

A can is not going to do anything. (In my opinion) however, more than one can/shake will make a difference dramatically in what you lose, and how fast. Medifast is designed as a "fasting" program, with just the correct amount of "stuff" your body needs to survive, nothing more, nothing less.

If we could ALL take Slim Fast, instead of Medifast, we would never have come to need Medifast. Additionally, I think our brain's realize we are paying for a program, a religious program, in lieu of an off again on again Slim Fast option.

Check out the content differences. Yes, I think it makes a dramatic difference!!
