According to MayoClinic.com, Slim Fast falls into the category of meal-replacement diets. Slim fast provides you with nutritionally complete shakes or bars that you eat in place of your regular meals. The major benefit of the diet is convenience--you don't need to count calories or worry about finding a place to eat when you're on the go. Simply use one of their products as a meal.
Step 1
Drink two Slim Fast shakes or eat two replacement bars a day. According to Slim Fast's official website, this should be done for two meals each day, such as breakfast and lunch. Any bar or shake will do, so you can choose based on flavor or convenience.
Step 2
Eat one balanced 500-calorie meal a day. This meal is meant to be cooked at home, so you can control the ingredients and amount of fat and calories that go into it. You can choose your own recipes or pick one at the Slim Fast website. According to Slim Fast's official website, the ideal meal plate should be half veggies, a quarter lean protein and a quarter whole grains.
Step 3
Eat three snacks spaced throughout the day. Ideally, snacks should be around 100 calories each. Slim Fast's website recommends their own snack bars, fruits, nuts or crunchy vegetables.
