The SlimFast diet involves restricting calories, which is one of the most important factors in weight loss, according to a 2021 research review of different weight loss methods.One 2018 study found that meal replacement shakes can be a safe, effective way for people with obesity and type 2 diabetes to lose weight and improve their glucose, insulin, and lipid levels. Encourages exercise: SlimFast is a proponent of exercise, although no formal program is provided. Some research has shown that exercise combined with meal replacement programs like SlimFast can lead to weight loss. However, these studies typically included guided support or education programs as part of the trial. Morgan, L. M., et al. (2009). Comparison of the effects of four commercially available weight-loss programmes on lipid-based cardiovascular risk factors [Abstract]. This is reflected in earlier 2018 research, in which the authors concluded that the best diets for people with obesity and overweight involve realistic goals and account for each person’s preferences, needs, and medical conditions.

A 2021 study suggests that weight loss through calorie restriction can improve insulin sensitivity, which reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Hall KD, Ayuketah A, Brychta R, et al. Ultra-processed diets cause excess calorie intake and weight gain: An inpatient randomized controlled trial of ad libitum food intake. Cell Metab. 2019;30(1):67-77. doi:10.1016/j.cmet.2019.05.008 Overall, anyone following a SlimFast plan should drink plenty of water and exercise for 30 minutes a day.It may also be helpful for people who do not have a lot of time to incorporate a new diet into their routine.

While no foods are off-limits, opting for the following can make it easier to stay within the calorie allowance: Easy-to-follow instructions: No foods are off-limits for the sensible meal, and the products are portion-controlled, which makes it easy to follow. Limits healthy cooking: You may not learn healthy cooking methods on the SlimFast diet plan—and cooking is not required on the program. And since you can consume a hearty 500 to 800 calories at your main meal, eating out or buying ready-to-eat processed food could be tempting. We don't believe you should compromise on your health or nutrition just because time is tight, so we've created NEW SlimFast Vi+ality.

According to SlimFast, their plan works for people with low carb, keto, high protein, diabetes-friendly, and vegetarian diets. There are not many options for people following vegan diets, though, as most meal replacements contain dairy or eggs. Brindal E, Hendrie GA, Taylor P, Freyne J, Noakes M. Cohort analysis of a 24-week randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of a novel, partial meal replacement program targeting weight loss and risk factor reduction in overweight/obese adults. Nutrients. 2016;8(5). doi:10.3390/nu8050265 It is important to note that these studies typically involve participants with overweight or obesity.
