I was under the impression that dietary replacements such as Slim Fast is a no-no on MAOI's. I may be mistaken. I found my BP was way more unstable on Parnate as opposed to Nardil. I had numerous spontaneous episodes of high BP on Parnate and I was extremely vigilant with regards to my diet.
I don't want to be a dark cloud, however, I'm a bit concerned as to the "no more fear" aspect of this thread. MAOI's must be taken along with a healthy dose of respect for their potential dangers. I would recommend that anyone on a MAOI wear a medic alert bracelet and if you are going to take any risks with food or meds to invest in a good cuff BP monitor.
Just my $.02 worth.
