Slim-Fast is a diet approach that uses Slim-Fast shakes, snacks and meal bars to help you lose weight. While the Slim-Fast company has been around for over 25 years, they have adapted to technological advances to help consumers connect with other dieters through their website, provide individual diet plans, and help consumers keep track of weight loss statistics over time. With effort and dedication to the plan, you can use Slim-Fast to lose weight.

Step 1

Replace two of your three meals. The Slim-Fast program recommends replacing breakfast and lunch with Slim-Fast shakes or meal bars.

Step 2

Choose your snacks. You get anywhere from 1 to 3 snacks, depending on your current weight. Options for snacks include Slim-Fast snack bars, apples and other fruits.

Step 3

Plan a sensible dinner. For your last meal of the day, you need to stay under 500 calories. This requires that you check packaging for calorie counts in order to properly gauge how many calories are in each food.

Step 4

Make sure you exercise. Part of the Slim-Fast weight loss program is exercise. You will see results faster if you exercise, and you'll improve your overall health as well.

Step 5

Go on-line for support and help. The Slim-Fast website offers an on-line community for support, as well as Registered Dietitians to answer nutrition questions. Weight Loss Advisors can also offer advice on the program and provide additional support for dieters. To get the benefits of the community and staff of Slim-Fast, you have to register on their site. Registration on the Slim-Fast site is free and only takes a few minutes.
