On the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 program for weight loss, you eat three 100-calorie snacks, which can be Slim-Fast snack bars or healthy food, two Slim-Fast meal replacement products and one 500-calorie meal which you prepare for yourself. You can use Slim-Fast lower-carb drinks as part of the 3-2-1 program, or as part of your own diet plan.
Slim-Fast and Shakes
Twice a day on the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 program, replace a regular meal with a Slim-Fast meal bar, ready-to-drink shake or shake mix. The 1,200-calorie daily plan is designed to help most people lose 1 to 2 lbs. per week, and you can limit your carbohydrate intake by choosing lower-carb shakes for your meal replacements. Slim-Fast lower-carb shakes come in 12 oz. ready-to-drink cans, and your choices are creamy chocolate and vanilla cream flavors.
Uses
To reduce the carbohydrates in your Slim-Fast 3-2-1 plan, choose one of the lower-carb shakes for your meal replacement instead of a regular shake or meal bar. You can use Slim-Fast lower-carb shakes even if you are not following the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 program. If you want to lose weight, drink a shake instead of having a higher-calorie meal. To gain weight, drink a shake along with your regular meal, or as an extra snack for additional calories.
