<p>When most people think of Slim-Fast they think of the meal-replacement shakes-dinner in a can etc etc.  The perfect diet for those who live fast-paced lives and grabbing a shake or a fruit had them on the road and good to go.   The convenience and simplicity of the diet created an wide base of popularity, which in turn enabled Slim-Fast to develop products that are equally healthy and quick to fix.  These products, like bars, snacks and smoothies appealed to those who preferred non-liquid diet food.  Finally, today Slim-Fast offers the Slim-Fast Optima Diet, which works to provide nutritious combinations of complex carbs, proteins and healthier fats.  The limited sugar and low-carbs in the Slimfast Optima diet are perfect for those who need to watch their carbohydrate and/or sugar intake, particularly those managing Type 2 Diabetes.</p>
<h2>How the Slim-Fast Optima Diet Works</h2>
<p>The Slim-Fast Optima Diet works so well because of the high levels of personalization allow you to adjust your diet to meet your day to day needs.   It focuses on reducing calorie intake by providing portion control alongside excellent nutrition.  The Slim-Fast Optima Diet included two daily Slim-Fast Meals, shakes, or meal bars.  Then you eat one Sensible meal, and healthy snacks of your choice, making it a simple plan to follow-the mantra: replace, combine, dine and snack!</p>
<h4>Replace</h4>
<p>The replace element reminds you to replace two meals a day of your choice with a healthy substitute provided by Slim-Fast.  For example, Slim-Fast On-The-Go Shakes and bars offer the balanced nutrition of a meal with 1/3 of most of your daily nutrient needs.  That <em>includes</em> the essential vitamins and fiber that are mandatory for every healthy diet! Generally the most popular meals to replace are breakfast and lunch.  It is especially important to remember to <em>replace, </em>not skip, as adequate and <em>consistent </em>nourishment, especially at the start of your day, is crucial to maintaining the metabolism neccesary for a healthy weight loss.</p>
<h4>Combine</h4>
<p>On the Slim·Fast Meal Plan, you can use the full line of slim-fast products and combine them with 200 calories of your favorite food to make a fabulous lunch (or other meal option).</p>
<h4>Dine</h4>
<p>With the Dine element, Slim-Fast encourages you to put together your own Sensible Meal.  Generally this is your largest and longest meal of the day, so for most people, that&#8217;s dinner.  Since a lot of us have trouble knowing what a &#8217;sensible meal&#8217; looks like (hello, we&#8217;re overweight in the first place) Slim-Fast includes a Portion Size Guide in order to help you visualize what a sensible meal  should look like.  A good general rule for sensible meals is that you should  fill 1/2 of your plate with veggies, 1/4  with lean protein (such as chicken without the skin, turkey, fish or lean beef)  and 1/4 with starch (preferably whole grain).  Finally, enjoy a salad on the side and a  serving of fruit or fruit salad for dessert.  The Dine element is one of the most attractive elements of the Slim-fast Optima diet, allowing you to enjoy a fun evening meal with friends and family without having to pull out your own specialty food, count calories or points, or look up nutritional information.</p>
<h4>Snack</h4>
<p>Finally, the Slim-Fast Optima Diet actually encourage you to snack!  The idea is that eating calorie-controlled portions of healthy foods (like carrots, veggies, nuts etc) during the day between meals will help satisfy your cravings! Not only are you less likely to feel deprived, you reduce the likelihood that you will overeat later in the day.</p>
