Quick Review of Slimfast®.com
Review At A Glance
Slimfast.com has a good deal to offer besides an online store with the meal replacement products. The Slimfast.com site has a nice range of information, from tips on becoming and staying motivated to determining proper portion sizes, to "deskercise" strategies for getting fit at work.
Overview
In terms of useful and specific information about healthy lifestyles, the Slimfast.com site has a lot to offer visitors compared with other weight loss sites. You may want to check out the "diet tips" category and view the "dining out" page: there are general tips provided, and also suggestions for what to order based on what kind of restaurant you're visiting, e.g. Chinese, Indian, and Mexican.
Design Perspective
The most helpful information is slightly buried: to get to the most useful pages, you'll want to visit the "my profile" page (where you can sign up to have access to all the online tools).
Online Tools Perspective
Besides the usual body mass index calculator and handful of recipes, Slimfast.com has some valuable articles, with a particular emphasis on exercise and fitness not found on many other sites. You can choose a particular plan based on your starting weight, and manage your plan, track your weight loss, and communicate with other Slimfast users once registered.
Program Perspective
The Slim·fast plan is based on meal replacement products, combined with healthy meals and exercise. Low-carb versions of the products are available for those who prefer them. Some experts are skeptical about meal replacement-based diets, while others maintain that they can be beneficial because of their convenience, as long as participants learn how to eat healthy meals as well.
