Celebrity Slim Questions & Answers (page 2 of 6)

Hi Merryn, Thanks for getting in touch! Our rapid shakes are actually specifically designed to be mixed with skim milk (not with water), so we're not surprised you'd find them watery mixing them with water! The directions on the back of the pack state: "Add 200ml of cold skim milk into a Celebrity Slim shaker. Add two (2) scoops (40g) of Celebrity Slim Rapid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds." Give it a try with skim milk, as described and we're sure you'll find them much more enjoyable :)

Hi Julie, Here's some information about which ingredients contribute to the sugar/carbohydrate levels in the Celebrity Slim Shake formulation(s):
Celebrity Slim's meal replacement products are formulated to comply with a code developed by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ). This code stipulates guidelines on the nutritional content of products labeled as "Meal Replacements" and is designed to ensure that products of this type follow researched best-practices and are fit for their intended purpose (helping people lose weight). The Food Standards Australia New Zealand Meal Replacement Code requires a minimum Energy level of 850kJ per Serve. In order to achieve this, it is important to use Protein, Fat & Low GI Carbohydrates. If we removed a significant % of the Low GI Carbohydrate, we would have to compensate with far higher levels of Fat to achieve the desired level of Energy. We have had feedback from tens of thousands of Australians in the last 8 years stating that they have lost substantial amounts of weight on the Celebrity Slim Program. We have run research studies with well-known Australian and international universities and research institutes and are very confident that our program provides effective weight loss results both in the short and longer term. Celebrity Slim Shakes contain high levels of Skim Milk Powder & Whey Protein Concentrate, which are Dairy Proteins. Both contain a natural level of Lactose (Milk Sugar), which is also a low GI Sugar. Our products all have different formulations, with a range of different nutritional profiles. If you are looking for low carbohydrate and low sugar products, we do offer a Low Carb range and a "Rapid" range that feature much lower levels of carbohydrates in total (including sugars). These products still comply with relevant FSANZ codes. We also have a range of Meal Bars, which feature very low sugar levels (<5g per 100g) and again meet the FSANZ code for meal replacement. Celebrity Slim Shakes do not contain added Sucrose or Glucose, or Artificial Sweeteners. Sucrose & Glucose are high GI Sugars that have a negative impact on blood glucose levels. Celebrity Slim Shakes do contain added Fructose (which is a low GI Sugar) at a level that is well below the allowable daily intake for this Nutrient. Fructose divides opinion in the health arena based on a number of issues, but it is a lower GI form of sugar. This means that it enters the bloodstream more slowly than "normal" sugar. This has a range of benefits, but the main one is that you avoid the energy spikes and food cravings that normally come from eating sugary foods. Hope that helps!

Hi Mia, We recommend you start with Rapid for the first week or two. You can continue the Rapid phase for longer if you like, or you can skip straight to the Trim phase (using the traditional range of shakes). It's really up to you. The Rapid Phase is completely safe for ongoing use. To keep things interesting, some people like to switch back and forth between the Rapid and Trim phase every couple of weeks. It all comes down to personal preference. Some people LOVE the rapid phase and find it really easy to stick with long term, while others prefer the Trim Phase. The Trim Phase was designed with longer term use in mind, so it does tend to be more flexible, provide more variety and generally easier to stick with over a longer period of time with a slightly higher daily intake than the Rapid Phase. Hope that helps!

Hi Tashamarsh18, Yes Celebrity Slim shakes are designed to help you lose weight. Put simply, the Celebrity Slim Program works by boosting your metabolism to burn more calories. This is achieved by restricting carbohydrates and overall energy kilojoules in your diet, and eating 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day (this includes snacks) rather than the traditional 2-3 larger meals. It's about changing the way you think about food and helping you change your eating habits - so you don't just lose weight, you learn how to keep it off in the long run.

It is difficult to predict how much weight each individual can expect to lose, as there are many different variables that can affect the outcome. These variables include your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), exercise, previous eating habits, and how well you stick to the Program! However, on average our customers lose 1-3kg in the first week and 0.5-1kg per week ongoing. This is a safe and steady rate of weight loss which will ensure you don't put the weight back on later. Some people will achieve much better results than this, whilst some people may find their progress slower. If you are incorporating exercise, you will likely see improved results. Hope that answers your question!

Hi Irene! Celebrity Slim Rapid Shakes are designed to be mixed with skim milk, but can be mixed with an alternative milk of your choice (such as soy or almond milk etc.). Whereas our traditional range of Celebrity Slim shakes are designed to be mixed with water. For best results, we recommend you prepare each shake as described. Hope that answers your question!

Hi Noura, Because the Celebrity Slim Program is based on a reduced kilojoule diet, we do not recommend it for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding as the diet may not contain enough nutrients to support the needs of both mum and baby.

You can, however, certainly make use of the wide range of delicious, healthy recipes available on our website in the meantime! Check them out here: https://www.celebrityslim.com.au/recipes.html

Hi Monique, Yes, we have many product offerings where you can purchase just one flavour. For example, all of our tub offerings (Rapid Shakes, Rapid Low Sugar Shakes, Dairy & Gluten Free Shakes) are individual flavours. Also a number of our traditional shake sachet flavours can be purchased in single flavour packs, such as Chocolate, Vanilla, Cafe Latte, Caramel.

Our Rapid Shakes are designed to be mixed with Skim milk, while our traditional range of shakes (in sachets) are designed to be mixed with water. Hope that answers your questions!

Hi Mye, For best results, we recommend you follow each Celebrity Slim program phase as described. The Rapid Shakes are specifically designed to be used as part of the Rapid phase. Our traditional range of shakes is designed to be used as part of the Trim phase. Deviating from the specific meal plan of each phase would result in upsetting the desired daily energy and nutritional intake of each carefully planned phase; therefore we couldn't guarantee you'd see the same great results that you would see if you follow each phase as described. Hope that helps!

Hi Hales, Thanks for getting in touch! To answer your question, no it is not crucial to stick to the specific times on the Rapid container. This daily eating guide aims to convey that you should space your meals and shakes evenly throughout the day (roughly every 4 hours), with some suggested times. You can alter the times of day that you consume your shakes and meals, to suit your daily routine. You can also switch around the order in which you consume your shakes and meals to suit your routine and for added variety/flexibility.

And remember, if you are ever feeling peckish in between shakes/meals, you can take advantage of our Anytime Free Foods list ( to tide you over and curb any cravings.

Hi Milo, On the Celebrity Slim Rapid Phase, you are advised to avoid alcoholic beverages. However, on the Trim and Maintain phases of the program, you can certainly enjoy a selection of alcoholic beverages. Here's a link to a table which highlights the differences between the Rapid, Trim and Maintain Phases of the Celebrity Slim Program:

And here's a link to the list of drinks you can enjoy and drinks to avoid on the program:

Hi Lee, Celebrity Slim shakes should certainly not give you hives, as there are no ingredients within our products that would give you hives. Perhaps you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients contained in our shakes. We recommend you speak to a doctor. Warm regards, The Celebrity Slim Team

Hi LozzaLoo, The UK equivalent to Rapid is Celebrity Slim Active, you can check it out on the UK website here: http://www.celebrityslim.co.uk/products/celebrity-slim-active Feel free to reach out to the Celebrity Slim UK team if you have any questions about the Celebrity Slim Active range. Enjoy!

Hi Aussietg, If you are on anti-depressant medication (or any kind of medication for that matter), you would firstly need to check with your doctor if the Celebrity Slim program is in fact ok for you to take in conjunction with the medication(s) you are on. Sometimes some medications need to be monitored. We recommend you take a Rapid Shake Tub (or just a print out of our ingredients list from the Ingredients & Nutritional Information tab on the product listing on our website https://www.celebrityslim.com.au/shop-product-range/rapid-shakes/celebrity-slim-rapid-chocolate.html) to your GP explaining what Celebrity Slim is and the active ingredients within the products, then your GP will be able to determine if your medication will coincide with the program.

Hi Caz, the beauty of the Celebrity Slim Program is that it's very flexible - so you can absolutely swap when you have your main healthy balanced meal each day, even on the Rapid Phase. So, if you prefer, you could certainly have your main meal for breakfast or lunch instead of dinner. In fact, eating your main meal earlier in the day can actually be beneficial in consuming the bulk of your food earlier, giving your body time to metabolise and burn that food for energy throughout the course of the day. Similarly, switching around when you have your main healthy balanced meal from time to time can be an excellent way to mix things up, keep your metabolism firing and prevent your body from getting used to the same routine and slowing down your weight loss results (the body's natural survival instinct is to regulate your body weight over time to prevent you losing weight indefinitely). Hope that helps! Warm regards, The Celebrity Slim Team
