Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Slim Fast shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Slim Fast offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Slim Fast at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Slim Fast? Wrong! If the Slim Fast is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Slim Fast then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Slim Fast? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Slim Fast and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Slim Fast wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Slim Fast then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Slim Fast site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Slim Fast, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Slim Fast, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.



Slim-Fast is a brand of shakes, bars, snacks, packaged meals, and other dietary supplement foods sold in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil and Mexico by Unilever. Slim Fast promotes dieting and weight loss plans featuring its food products. Its U.S. headquarters is in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

Overview and history Slim-Fast was started in 1977 by S. Daniel Abraham as part of the Thompson Medical Group.{{cite web | url = http://www.unilever.ca/ourbrands/foods/SlimFast.asp | title = "Slim·Fast" | work = Our Brands: Foods | publisher = [Unilever | accessdate = 2007-05-28 -->In 1987, Abraham took the brand private, and it was acquired by Unilever in 2000.

Slim-Fast struggled, as did many diet foods in 2003 with the rise of low-carb diets, with a drop in sales during one year of 21 percent. The brand responded in 2004 with a line of low-carb items that were designed to capture this market and also introduced Slim-Fast Optima products which were lower in sugar than the standard Slim-Fast products.

Slim-Fast used the phrase "a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, then a sensible dinner" for many years to describe the use of the products within the Slim-Fast plan. With the addition of snacks and an approach that allows for different calorie plans, the brand now advocates a more flexible system. The brand has recently become focused on achieving success through tying its use to the Best Life Diet.{{cite web | url = http://www.thebestlife.com/partners.asp | title = "Best Life partners" | work = TheBestLife.com | accessdate = 2007-05-28 -->There is evidence from a 2003 study that Slim-Fast is successful at achieving long-term weight loss for those that follow the diet.{{cite web | url = http://www.epigee.org/fitness/diet_programs.html | title = "Diet Programs" | work = Epigee Women's Health | accessdate = 2007-05-28 -->
