Tips

Check out these tips to make your Slim-Fast® 3.2.1TM Plan work a little harder and make staying on track a little easier, too.

  • Power Up With Positive Thinking

    Instead of focusing on what you can’t eat, focus on what you can eat. Experiment with herbs and spices to flavor foods, try new healthy recipes, and add a variety of new fruits and vegetables to your meals.

  • Downsize Your Plate

    Using a smaller plate can help increase your awareness of portion sizes.

  • Slow Down

    It takes about 20 minutes for our stomach to tell our brain that we are satisfied. So, when debating whether or not to go for that second helping, wait a while and then ask yourself if you are really still hungry.

  • Don’t Skip Breakfast

    Eating breakfast can help you keep calories in check throughout the day and curb your tendency to overeat. Slim-Fast® shakes and meal bars are a satisfying, portable way to start your day.

  • Set Realistic Goals

    Setting achievable, short-term realistic goals—such as losing 5 pounds or dropping a single dress size—will help you stay motivated and give you confidence to reach your long-term goals.

  • Don’t Skip Meals

    Eating regularly scheduled meals and snacks each day has been show to help people stick their diet plan and lose weight.

  • Get a Post-Baby Boost

    Worried about losing those extra pounds after having a baby? Breastfeeding can help enhance weight loss, as it burns up to 500 calories a day.

  • Don’t Go To The Grocery Store Hungry

    When you’re hungry, you’re more likely to shop for foods that aren’t on your healthy eating plan. Make a shopping list before you head out the door and stick to it.

  • Beat Bloat

    Salt can cause your body to retain water and contribute to that uncomfortable, bloated feeling. Try cutting back on salty foods such as chips and snack foods, processed luncheon meats and canned soups—and don’t reach for the salt shaker.

  • Keep At It

    Changing behaviors is a gradual process that takes time—you can do it!

  • Stay On Track Even On The Go

    Slim-Fast shakes, meals bars and snack bars are portable and convenient, making it easy to stick to your diet even when you’re traveling.

  • Sit And Eat

    You’re likely to be less mindful of portion sizes if you’re standing, walking or driving while you eat than if you sat at the kitchen or dining table to eat a meal.

  • Let The H2O Flow

    Having difficulty drinking 8 glasses of water a day? Keep a 64-ounce pitcher or large water bottle in your refrigerator at home or at work. Once the pitcher or bottle is empty, you’ve met your goal for the day! (Tip: add lemon slices to make the water more refreshing).

  • Trust Your Eyes

    Numbers on the scale aren’t the only measure of success. You may lose inches in your waist, arms or legs as well as find that your clothing fits more loosely before you see movement on the scale.

  • Weigh In Often

    Studies show that people who weigh themselves regularly not only lose more weight but also maintain the weight loss as compared with those who avoid the scale. For accurate tracking, weigh yourself at the same time of the day wearing the same clothing and use the same scale.

  • Get Healthy

    Want to improve your health? Losing just 10% of excess body weight—20 pounds for someone who weighs 200 pounds—can significantly reduce your risk of a variety of obesity-related health conditions.
