'''SlimFast''' is an American company headquartered in [[Palm Beach Gardens, Florida]], that markets an eponymous brand of shakes, bars, snacks, packaged meals, and other [[dietary supplement]] foods sold in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latin America, and the U.K. SlimFast promotes [[dieting|diets]] and [[weight loss]] plans featuring its food products.

There is mixed evidence on the effectiveness of the diet, although it appears to function no better than behavioral counseling.<ref name=effic>{{cite journal| vauthors=Gudzune KA, Doshi RS, Mehta AK, Chaudhry ZW, Jacobs DK, Vakil RM |display-authors=etal | title=Efficacy of commercial weight-loss programs: an updated systematic review. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 2015 | volume= 162 | issue= 7 | pages= 501–12 | pmid=25844997 | doi=10.7326/M14-2238 | pmc=4446719 }}  Review in: {{cite journal|doi=10.7326/ACPJC-2015-163-4-008 |title=Review: Some commercial or proprietary weight-loss programs increase weight loss |date=2015 |last1=Kahan |first1=Scott |last2=Theim |first2=Kelly |journal=Annals of Internal Medicine |volume=163 |issue=4 |pages=JC8 |pmid=26280443 |s2cid=1586172 }}</ref>
