The Slim Fast Optima Diet is designed to provide you with balanced nutrition that will help keep you satisfied. The diet plan also includes incorporating physical activity, drinking plenty of water and using motivational tools offered by Slim Fast.

Features

According to CVS Pharmacy, the Slim Fast Optima Diet has 45 percent less sugar than the original Slim Fast Diet plan. The shakes have 50 percent of the daily calcium requirements and 24 vitamins and minerals; they contain 180 calories each. Slim Fast states that the shakes keep you satisfied for up to four hours because of their combination of protein, fats and complex carbohydrates. The shakes come in ready-made "Meal-on-the-Go" shakes or a powdered mix in a variety of flavors from Chocolate Royale to French vanilla.

Diet Plan

The weight loss plan for the Slim Fast Optima Diet includes two Slim Fast meal combinations, three fruits or vegetables and one sensible meal a day. Depending on your weight, you should also have two to four healthy snacks every day. Meal combinations include foods like yogurt and fruit, or 1/2 a turkey sandwich with a Slim Fast shake. Healthy snacks include Slim Fast snack bars, or something that is approximately 120 calories. Sensible meals should be balanced and about 500 calories.
