question! :)

i don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but i can't find it like anywhere on the internet, so if any of you know, or don't know, please respond

Is there an age requirement for Slim Fast? Like, do you have to be 18 to buy it? Or can a 16-year-old buy it?

Thanks so much you guys

Well, the site says:

Slim•Fast is probably the most widely researched weight management product currently available on the high street, however, if you are pregnant, nursing, under the age of 16, have a health problem or want to lose more than 30 pounds (20% of your starting body weight), you should always consult a physician before starting this or any weight loss programme.

...so I'll guess you should be able to buy it from 16 upwards :smile:

Thank you! I don't know how I didn't see that, and I still can't find it, haha. But I had found this on another site earlier, which made me think you had to be 18:

If you want to lose weight & are under 18, pregnant, nursing, following a diet recommended by a doctor, have health problems such as diabetes, or want to lose more than 30 lbs, see a doctor before starting this or any diet.

And this was on a site in which you could order it (I think maybe amazon.com). However, I'm mainly concerned about buying it at a walmart.. but i guess i should probably look at their website, huh?! thanks again, though.

Well, I got mine from the British version of the website, the US might have different rules about it, so don't trust me completely :tongue: Besides, I just spent over 10 mins looking for the info on the US site and it's just not there I tell you. I found it within a min on the UK site :laugh:

that might be because the US doesn't care as much about their citizens' health...:dry: which explains our health care system... not!:dry:

I am in the US and my son picked up some at the store when he was 12. I don't think there is and age requirement to purchase it. Only the recommendation that you consult a doctor if have any of those circumstances.
