MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKES

Could it be that the shake is magic and has some kind of fat burning healthy ingredients that are just melting away the lbs, OR could it be the fact that you are replacing a poorly chosen 700+ calorie meal with a 200 calorie shake.

That's a difference of 500 calories total at the end of your day which could put you in the calorie deficit NEEDED in order for you to be losing fat. So, YES. meal replacement shakes work! They work because they help put you in a calorie deficit at the end of the day which is required in order to lose body fat.

BUT

The downfall which you may have experienced (myself included at one time) is that once you have lost the weight. Once you are done with the shakes and are happier at your new weight. The shakes are gone, and so is your calorie deficit. Because using shakes as a replacement teaches you nothing about nutrition, we go back to poorly chosen food and higher calorie meals. Inevitably the weight creeps back up until you gain so much that you begin the shakes again. And the cycle continues.

BREAK THAT CYCLE

learn a little about nutrition, the basics will do. calories in Vs calories out. Learn how to get into that calorie deficit with better food options instead of shakes. The key to being healthy is consistency. We need to focus on nutrition in a way that is effective, simple to apply and is sustainable LONG TERM for results. And unfortunately replacement shakes are not sustainable. Ditch the shakes and make better food options which you can apply to any meal at any time for a way to lose weight and most importantly keep that weight off long term.
