slimfast-coupons-group Slim·Fast® is a brand of shakes, bars, snacks, packaged meals, and other dietary supplement foods sold in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, and Latin America by Unilever. Slim·Fast® promotes diets and weight loss plans featuring its food products.

Slim·Fast® was started in 1977 by S. Daniel Abraham as part of the Thompson Medical Group. In 1987, Abraham took the brand private, and it was acquired by Unilever in 2000.

Slim·Fast® struggled, as did many diet foods in 2002 with the rise of low-carb diets, with a drop in sales during one year of 21 percent. The brand responded in 2004 with a line of low-carb items that were designed to capture this market and also introduced Slim-Fast Optima products which were lower in sugar than the standard Slim·Fast® products.

Slim·Fast® used the phrase “a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, then a sensible dinner” for many years to describe the use of the products within the Slim·Fast® plan. With the addition of snacks and an approach that allows for different calorie plans, the brand now advocates a more flexible system. The brand has recently become focused on achieving success through tying its use to the Best Life Diet. There is evidence from a 2003 study that Slim-Fast is successful at achieving long-term weight loss for those that follow the diet.

Why Slim-Fast®

SHAKES AND MEAL BARS WITH HUNGER CONTROL

Only Slim·Fast® weight-loss products give you HC4 formula, a special blend of proteins, fiber and lipids. Slim·Fast® helps control hunger for up to 4 hours to keep you satisfied and help you resist cravings.

Here’s how Slim·Fast® products help you lose weight and keep it off:

• Helps you reduce your calorie intake through portion control

• Provides balanced nutrition, including essential vitamins and minerals

• Can be mixed and matched with your favorite foods, so you won’t get tired of eating the same old thing

How It Works

Personalization. Slim·Fast helps you reduce your calorie intake by providing portion control along with good nutrition. The plan features two daily Slim-Fast Meals-delicious, satisfying, nutritionally-balanced shakes or meal bars-along with a Sensible Meal and healthy snacks. It’s easy to follow. Simply replace, combine, dine and snack!

Replace at Breakfast

Eating a healthy breakfast can help you stick to your diet and lose weight. Slim·Fast Meal On-The-Go shakes and bars provide the balanced nutrition of a meal, with 1/3 of most of your daily nutrient needs-including essential vitamins and minerals-and 2 to 5 grams of dietary fiber per serving.

How to Combine at Lunch

The Slim·Fast Meal Plan lets you combine your favorite foods along with a full line of Slim·Fast products to create meal combinations you’ll enjoy. Just add 200 calories of your desired food to a Slim·Fast Meal On-The-GoTM shake or bar.

How to Dine with Sensible Meals

The Portion Size Guide, below, makes it easy to visualize what a sensible meal should look like. As a general rule, always fill 1/2 of your plate with veggies, 1/4 with lean protein (such as chicken without the skin, turkey, fish or lean beef) and 1/4 with starch (preferably whole grain) and enjoy a salad on the side and a serving of fruit or fruit salad for dessert. Bon apptit!

Snack Between Meals

Eating calorie-controlled portions of healthy foods between meals helps satisfy your cravings and can reduce the likelihood that you will overeat later in the day.
