Slim Fast Powder (Meal Replacement)

Unilever

There is now substantial evidence to suggest that the use of meal replacements as part of a calorie-controlled diet is an effective means of reducing weight. This product is a ready to powdered version of a similar (ready-to-drink) product. In this case, 36.5g of this powdered product should be made up with skimmed milk, and provides:

• 217 calories
• 14g protein
• 2.6g fat
• 30g sugar
• 4g fibre

As such, if this product is used as recommended to replace one or two normal meals a day, it should deliver the intended benefit of weight reduction, both in the short and longer term. Also this product is fortified with vitamins and minerals, and, when used to replace two meals a day, will provide over 80%  RDA of all the essential vitamins, as well as 100% RDA of Calcium and a reasonable proportion of other minerals. As such, this product would be expected to deliver the benefit associated with a basic multivitamin and mineral supplement, so potentially saving the consumer money on separate supplements. This product mixes well and tastes nice so long term compliance should not be a problem. The product is also excellent value.
