View larger. Why Low-Carb? Studies suggest that low-carb diets decrease your appetite and give you an increased feeling of fullness. This may be because low-carb diets are high in protein and fats, which take a while to digest and therefore make you feel fuller longer. With only two grams of net carbohydrates and 180 calories per serving, the Slim-Fast Low-Carb Vanilla Cream Shake is an easy way to reap the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle, such as one that follows the Slim-Fast Meal Plan. Easily Lose Weight with the Slim-Fast Meal Plan Slim-Fast helps you reduce your calorie intake by providing portion control along with good nutrition. Many people have lost weight by following the Slim-Fast Meal Plan, which features two daily Slim-Fast foods such as a Slim-Fast shake, a sensible meal, and healthy snacks. It's easy to follow: simply "replace, combine, dine, and snack."     Replace: Slim-Fast shakes provide the balanced nutrition of a meal, with 1/3 of most of your daily nutrients and two to five grams of dietary fiber. Replace one meal a day with a Slim-Fast shake and you'll be on the road to weight loss. Combine: In addition to meal replacement, the Slim-Fast Meal Plan lets you combine your favorite foods along with Slim-Fast products to create meal combinations you'll enjoy. For one of your daily meals, just combine 200 calories of your desired food with a Slim-Fast shake. You'll be full and satisfied and ready to meet your weight loss goals. Dine: The Slim-Fast Meal Plan gives you the flexibility of enjoying one daily meal on your own. Eat the foods you love, but be sure to fill 1/2 of your plate with veggies, 1/4 with lean protein (such as chicken without the skin, turkey, fish, or lean beef), and 1/4 with starch (preferably whole grain). Enjoy a salad on the side and a serving of fruit for dessert. Snack: It is important to eat sensible snacks while dieting. Eating calorie-controlled portions of healthy foods between meals helps satisfy your cravings and can reduce the likelihood that you will overeat later in the day. Snack on fruits and veggies or a Slim-Fast shake or bar to help keep you on track. What's in the Box Slim-Fast Low-Carb Ready to Drink Shakes, Vanilla Cream, 11-ounce cans in four-count boxes (pack of six).

Slim Fast Low Carb compared to ZOIC Nutrition Drink
~
Here is a comparative of the Nutrition Facts showing ZOIC first on the left and Slim Fast Low Carb second on the right:

Calories: 110 - 190
Calories from Fat: 10 - 80
Saturated Fat: 0.5g - 1.5g
Trans Fat: 0g - 0g
Cholesterol: 5mg - 15mg
Sodium: 230mg - 260mg
Potassium: 230mg - 550mg
Total Carbohydrate: 5g - 6g
Dietary Fiber: 3g - 4g
Sugars: 1g - 1g
"Net Carbs:" 2g - 2g
Protein: 21g - 20g

The vitamins/minerals are somewhat similar in these two drinks and can be found on the Nutrition Facts on the cans. The biggest difference is that Slim Fast Low Carb has about 73% more calories and 70 more Fat calories per drink.

The taste, which I was concerned about when I order my first case of 24 drinks, is similar with the main difference that the Slim Fast Low Carb has a smoother, creamier texture. I experimented with adding about 80 calories of cream to a ZOIC drink and it definitely acquired a smoother, creamier texture. The overall taste of both drinks, in my opinion, is a good taste; but not a great taste. I would give these products a 4.5 rating if I could.

The Slim Fast Low Carb drink with its extra 70 more calories from Fat seems to satisfy my hunger perhaps 30 minutes longer than the ZOIC drink (without any cream added). ZOIC's package states "meal complement & snack replacement" not a meal replacement; in other words, it seems logical that one would add a small portion of other healthful food to make it a meal.

Both drinks refrain from adding any sugar or sugar alcohols (make sure you are comparing Slim Fast "Low Carb" and not other Slim Fast drinks which do have sugar added). Both drinks are free from Trans Fat.

I like to use both drinks to give me variety in taste and calories. The ZOIC drink at only 110 calories is a good choice when I want less calories and less fat calories; perhaps, when a planned meal time has to be pushed back in time by a couple of hours. If I need something to skip a meal, then I will usually choose Slim Fast Low Carb.

Both of these "Low Carb" drinks are good to have on hand in the refrigerator, so you can choose 110 or 190 calories versus some other super-sized 500 plus calorie item that may be in the refrigerator too.

Not Bad!
This low carb variety is not bad tasting at all. It is soy based so it doesn't bloat you. It also fills you. I highly recommend it. My favorite is the Vanilla.

No-effort quick meals
Slim-Fast is a marvelous fast solution to finding something to eat on a crazy busy day! The nutritionally well-balanced meal-in-a-can provides an appetizing answer for mealtimes when you-re hungry but you don't have time or energy for fixing your own meal or waiting for a restaurant cook to do it.
