Morgan, L. M., et al. (2009). Comparison of the effects of four commercially available weight-loss programmes on lipid-based cardiovascular risk factors [Abstract]. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation that uses your height and weight to determine a number that represents your risk for obesity-related health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. The higher your BMI is over 25, the greater the risk of developing these conditions.** SlimFast typically asks people to replace two of their meals with SlimFast products. This means a person may only need to cook one meal a day, which can save time and make the plan easier to follow. Berkowitz RI, Wadden TA, Gehrman CA, et al. Meal replacements in the treatment of adolescent obesity: a randomized controlled trial. Obesity. 2011;19(6):1193-9. doi:10.1038/oby.2010.288

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. As SlimFast provides a set plan that cannot easily be individualized, the results of this study suggest that SlimFast may not be suitable for long-term or significant weight loss. Some are designed for ketogenic or diabetes-friendly diets. For example, the keto options include trail mixes, Cheddar Cheese Crisps, and bars. According to a 2003 review of six randomized controlled trials of SlimFast and similar meal replacement programs, these plans can safely and effectively lead to significant, sustainable weight loss. However, several of the researchers involved had affiliations with SlimFast.The advocacy group Clean Label Project ran a study published in 2022 that tested 130 popular protein powders. It found that the products tested positive for a wide range of harmful substances, including: 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.

The SlimFast plan may lead to significant weight loss for some people, at least in the short term. However, sustaining the results may be difficult.

There are not many options for people following vegan diets, though, as most meal replacements contain dairy or eggs. A person may benefit most from working with a personal trainer and registered dietitian, who can help tailor a weight loss plan to suit their lifestyle and medical needs. Disregards portion control: If you reach your goal weight on the SlimFast diet, you're going to have to eventually wean yourself off the program and maintain your weight loss.
