The Good

• Weight loss
• Flexibility

During the first week of Slim Fast, you will probably drop 2-3 pounds. Slim Fast greatly limits the number of calories consumed each day, so expect a dramatic weight loss. This diet combines eating their products with making your own healthy meals, so if you want some flexibility, Slim Fast is perfect. You can also just pick Slim Fast products up at your local grocery store for a relatively low price.

The Bad

• Selection

Slim Fast only offers bars and shakes to dieters. Their limited selection can grow old very quickly. While you might be able to keep up with replacing one meal with a Slim Fast product for a while, the small selection can get old fast. TBC has a few concerns with Slim Fast:

• The diet may not provide adequate calories or nutrition
• There is no health coach or outside support
• There are only 3 types of "meals" to choose from

The Bottom Line

Slim Fast is great for people who want to do just that - lose a few pounds quickly. Dieters do not consume very many calories on Slim Fast, so it's okay for a few days, but not long-term. However, if you want to replace a meal or snacks with Slim Fast products, that seems to be more sustainable.
