I have put on quite a bit of weight recently and I was looking to try somekind of meal replacement shakes. Has anyone out there had any success with a program. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
I drink the special K they dont give me gas like slim fast and I recently went to the nutritionist and she has the atkins shakes as an example on her desk i asked her about them and she said they are great. I usually drink them for the protien and eat some sort of fruit with it like a banana or apple otherwise you will be hungry shortly after.
Not a fan of shakes, I never found very satisfying and always got hungry shortly after. Best way I ever lost weight was to reduce portion sizes and to make sure everything was balanced. As far as carbs, low glycemic veggies and fruits instead of pasta's and breads. For snacks, Balance or Zone bars.
I've known a few people who have tried it, but it didn't work for them, and they put the weight back on. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm not really one for fad diets. A healthful diet, exercise, and all the good stuff in moderation will surely get you farther!
Ditto for Atkins. They only have 1 g of sugar, unlike every other protein shake out there, and they taste good. You'll get 160 cals out of 1.
You can also try the Naked juices. the Protein Zone juice (1/2 a bottle = 1 serving!) will fill you up. It's loaded with sugar, but it's all natural. The whole drink is blended fruit.
only one ive tried is slimfast.. this is so stupid but i got my tongue pierced when i was younger and couldnt eat anything for a week.. i drank slimfast for everymeal and sometimes more oftn then that and i definaltey lost weight.. howevernot by choice tho.. and i really dont think youre supposed to drink them for every meal
I like the Atkins ones. They have more protein and less sugar than others and are very filling. Sometimes I add some frozen berries and make more of a smoothie, and get more fiber. Whatever ones you decide on be sure that it doesn't have more sugar than you want to consume. I've been shocked at the ingredients in some.
Weight Watchers rocks! It's a great program. I've been successful with the program and so has my husband. See if there is a local WW office and go and talk with someone. You can also go online and check out their program.
My husband used SlimFast with success. He used them to kick-start his weight loss, and then switched to a healthier diet and portion control after a few months to lose the rest of the weight. It was a good balance - obviously, long term, he needs the healthy diet, but the shakes helped him get started. Good luck!
I'm a HUGE fan of the EQUATE "Slim Fast" at Wal Mart. They TASTE better and are a lot cheaper than Slim Fast. It's the ONLY way I can take my vitamins and pills in the morning.
Later I have either fruit, string cheese or oatmeal. At least I eat within an hour of waking up and don't skip breakfast which is CRUCIAL to weight loss.
Hi. The best shakes are body by vi.
Please check out my website for the product. 2 shakes a day, you will definitely see results the first week. It starts with a 90 day challenge. It works and you will love it. Very reasonable. View my site and sign my page for information and to ask any questions.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
the best ones i find are on the health food isle with the vitimans and health soaps not the same isle as the adkins and boost products.
I know a girl who lost 30lbs on Body by V?? Not sure if it's just "V" or some other random spelling, but it was pronounced "Body by V." She said it was easy.
Herbalife worked for me. They have awesome recipes for the shakes & give more bang for your buck in that you get a large container cheaper than with other programs like Medifast/Optifast or Slim Fast. They really do fill you up & you can make really tasty smoothies w/real fruit, nuts, etc. added to it. They even have other products available to help w/your weight loss & weight maintenace goals. I actually signed on to be a distributor b/c I thought so highly of the products. They even have this awesome aloe gel that really helped my second degree sunburn I got (accidentally of course) but do look into Herbalife, they really do have great products & programs...compare to other products on the market. If you decide to go w/Herbalife, lemmie know if I can answer any questions or I can even be your distributor if you like. Good luck!!
