PROFILE |
 |
Fitness fanatic Daniel Abraham helped shake up the weight-loss industry with his Slim-Fast meal-replacement drinks. After the success of Dexatrim and other over-the-counter drugs, he spun off Slim-Fast Foods in 1990 from his Thompson Medical Co. to capitalize on the needs of weight-conscious consumers. Slim-Fast sells shakes (milk- or soy-based), drink powders, and snack bars through retailers in the US and Europe under the Slim-Fast and Ultra Slim-Fast names. It has marketed products aggressively, hiring celebrity endorsers such as former baseball manager Tommy Lasorda and TV's Kathie Lee Gifford; Lauren Hutton is the company's latest spokesperson. Slim-Fast was bought by consumer goods giant Unilever in 2000.
