SlimFast was started in 1977 as a product line of the Thompson Medical Company, founded in the 1940s by S. Daniel Abraham. Thompson Medical also sold the controversial weight loss dietary supplement Dexatrim. In 1987, Abraham took the brand private, and it was acquired by Unilever in 2000.

• Great taste - Delicious Vanilla Cream flavor, gluten free and 99.8% lactose free.
• Ideal for a low-carb lifestyle.
• Curbs hunger - SlimFast High Protein Nutrition Shakes are an exceptional meal replacement product that curbs hunger for up to four hours†
