Slim Fast
The SlimFast Diet is based on meal-replacement shakes, snack bars and having one nutritional dinner, giving a total of approximately 1200 calories per day.You have a SlimFast shake for breakfast, a SlimFast shake for lunch and a sensible meal in the evening. Throw in a SlimFast bar or two for a snack and you have a well-balanced diet!Although the shakes do contain added vitamins and minerals, some of the SlimFast bars are high in sugar and fillers - not exactly an ideal nutritional combination. Unlike other meal-replacement plans, the SlimFast Diet does focus on the big issue of being overweight and the need to learn healthier eating habits. So even though SlimFast (like any minimum 1200 calorie diet plan) can almost guarantee weight loss, it does ensure that the weight stays off by teaching you long term eating habits.
For these reasons, it may be that SlimFast is a better diet plan for seriously obese dieters who need extra help to control their eating habits. It is certainly not ideal for dieters with (say) less than 40 lbs to lose.
