Eating Plan
The Slim-Fast Optima Plan focuses on replacing high-calorie meals and snacks with calorie controlled, nutritionally balanced Slim-Fast meal replacements and snacks so you can reduce your daily caloric intake and lose weight, as well as get the vitamins and minerals your body needs. It’s the delicious shakes that made the diet famous, but there’s much more to this healthy eating plan.
Slim-Fast is based on reducing your calorie intake. It helps you lose weight at a steady rate of about 1 to 2 pounds (0.45 to 0.9 kilograms) a week, an amount that&undefined;s healthy and doable for your body to keep up.
Slim-Fast promotes a three-part weight loss plan that is simple, sensible and satisfying at the same time.
1 – Enjoy a sensible meal
2 – Use Slim-Fast meal replacements
3 – Eat only healthy snacks throughout the day
By sticking to this plan, you will strike a happy balance between tasty foods and nutrition (based on a 300-1500 caloric plan). Slim-Fast recipe ideas and menu plans are designed to satisfy all your cravings and tastes.
The first step is calculating your Body Mass Index to tell you your weight loss needs. Once you’ve entered your height and weight to get a customized meal plan on-line, you can begin the weight management process.
The Meal Replacement options have been developed by trusted nutritionists to provide an easy, convenient, balanced meal of 230 to 260 calories, with 24 vitamins and minerals.
Slim-Fast Optima products are widely available in your local grocery, drug and discount department store.
