Slim Fast 3.2.1


Slim.Fast, the iconic weight loss brand, is set to launch a new plan: ‘Slim.Fast 3.2.1’. The updated plan will continue to offer a simplified approach to weight loss, offering a variety of delicious and nutritionally-balanced, portion-controlled meal replacements to help people lose weight quickly, easily and safely.
The name ‘3.2.1’ simply refers to the daily meal plan regime of 3 snacks, 2 shakes and/or meal bars and 1 balanced meal. The new product range provides built-in portion and calorie control, so there are no counting calories or points, or weighing of foods.


Each Slim Fast meal replacement contains a precise balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fibre and healthy fats, together with essential vitamins and minerals. This guarantees you get the nutrients you need while losing weight, packed into tasty shakes and crunchy meal bars. This unique combination makes slimming with Slim Fast not just healthy, but enjoyable too.


Slim Fast is committed to understanding the motivators that lead people to lose weight and help them navigate the challenges of dieting. The Slim.Fast principals on which the 3.2.1 Plan is based have stood the test of time for over three decades. Plus, Slim Fast has over 10 years of clinical evidence showing people using Slim Fast can lose more weight and keep it off for longer than with a conventional calorie-controlled diet.


 
I was sent enough to try this for a week and I was pleasantly surprised, firstly the main Slim Fast product we all are aware of. The milkshake powder, I tried Vanilla, having tried the shakes years ago, they then seemed hard to blend or mix right having  a grainy texture that however much I mixed did not shift.
 
That's all changed now they are easy to blend, smooth on the tongue creamy and pleasant, I am not a sweet lover, more a savoury girl and yet I had no real problem.

The great product for me and especially for people on the go, maybe at work all day with no access to mixing, are the ready to drink shakes. Now, not just the usual flavours you expect like strawberry, vanilla etc, but really yummy ones such as lemon meringue 9see lemon theme again), raspberry crush, fruits of the forest and blissful banana.



For non milk lovers or just to add more choice
there are the meal replacement bars available, these I found to be really filling, tasty too, with a Chocolate Crunch Meal Bar that was not too sweet and had great texture chewy and satisfying
You can also choose Fruits of the Forest Meal Bar and Yogurt Muesli bar, suitable for a breakfast.


For the snacks in between Slim Fast have developed some lovely tasty savouries and for the sweet lovers there is enough to satisfy too, I really enjoyed these. The great thing is how many snacks, this is the generous "3" of the plan.

Sweet snacks are Cranberry, Almond and Raisin Bar, a Chocolate Peanut Bar or a fave tasty  of mine a Chocolate Caramel bar.
Savoury snacks were Cheddar Bites or Sour Cream and Chive Pretzels and as a stand alone snack these are very nice indeed!

You can also eat a healthy snack such as carrots, beans, berries, bananas, pears or apples. Or enjoy a handful of heart-healthy nuts, such as almonds or walnuts.

After all this you still have a meal to eat either lunch or dinner depending on what suits your personal lifestyle. Slim Fast have helped here as on the website there are meal ideas and recipes.

Slim Fast 3.2.1
I loved the vast range of flavours and products to choose from, I found I wasn't bored by the end of a week as I had imagined.
I would love to see more savoury snacks and really happy if a few of the meals could also be savoury too.

Its such an easy plan to follow, I felt no hunger at all while taking part and with all the online support as well, its a great way to lose those summer holiday excess pounds.
