Meal bars and snack bars are available as well. The premise of the diet is to have one or the other of shakes or meal bars for breakfast and lunch and then eat a sensible meal for dinner. The meal bars can be substituted for a shake and both have nutritional value. The snack bars are just that, snack bars, and have no nutritional value.

Who would want to go on a Slim Fast diet? Most likely those who have tried many diets and have not succeeded in losing weight and those who do not like to eat breakfast.
