Slim-Fast Optima is lower in calories than the original Slim-Fast shake and helps control hunger longer, according to the brand. It is available in ready-to-drink shakes, powder shakes and meal replacement bars.

Features

Slim-Fast Optima is a good source of protein because it contains 10g, or 20 percent of your daily recommended value. It also contains 50 percent of the recommended daily value of calcium, in addition to 24 vitamins and minerals. Optima shakes are designed to help control hunger longer by combining a specific blend of protein, fat and complex carbohydrates, according to Slim-Fast.

Diet Plan

Slim-Fast Optima should be used as part of the overall Slim-Fast diet plan, which suggests having two Slim-Fast shakes, three Slim-Fast snacks and a sensible dinner, such as grilled chicken and vegetables. Following this plan helps provide healthy weight loss, according to Slim-Fast.

Considerations

It's best to consult a doctor before beginning any weight loss regimen. Slim-Fast also recommends that after the first week you should only lose 2 lbs. per week and eat at least 1,200 calories per day. Slim-Fast Optima should also not be used as the sole form of nutrition, claims the brand.
