Slim Fast Diet

About

Slim Fast is over 25 years old and has proven results with an easy to follow diet plan. In essense the plan consists of 2 Slim Fast shakes and a balanced meal (with 3 snacks in between). The shakes give you an easy way to consume your daily nutrional requirements without having to think about what you should and should not be eating and this is one of the Slim Fast diets main strengths.

The restriction to Slim Fast products may seem a draw back at first, but it also makes the diet easy and will make it less of a temptation to indulge in high calorie snacks.

Although you have to pay for the Slim Fast products themselves, they are replacing what you would normally eat anyway so the money you spend on Slim Fast is the money you are saving on not purchasing your usual foods.

How Does The Diet Work

The diet is easy to follow which is one of it's great assets. In any given day you can have the following:

3 Snacks - You can also choose foods high in fibre such as carrots, beans, berries, bananas, pears or apples. Or enjoy a handful of heart-healthy nuts, such as almonds or walnuts. You can also choose from a selection of Slim Fast snack bars.

2 Shakes or Meal Bars - Slim·Fast shakes and meal bars provide the balanced nutrition of a meal. All our Slim·Fast meals provide about 1/3 of your recommended intake for 22 essential vitamins and minerals, as well as protein, fibre, and essential fats.

1 Balanced Meal - One balanced meal of about 600 calories. As a general guide, fill 1/3 of your plate with veggies, 1/3 with lean protein (such as chicken or turkey without the skin, fish or lean beef) and 1/3 with starchy carbohydrates.

To give you an idea of how a typical day would look there is a sample day's diet plan below:

Breakfast - Slim Fast vanilla shake

Snack - 1 cup grapes

Lunch - Slim Fast banana shake

Snack - 1 apple

Dinner - skinless chicken breast with carrots, brocoli and a baked potato

Snack - Slim Fast snack bar
