Meal replacement
or weight loss shakes are really easy to use as part of your diet. As the name suggests you simply replace your
normal meals with a meal replacement shake.
Studies have shown that when you combine this with a healthy, calorie
controlled diet it can help you achieve your weight goals.
Most commonly
people use meal replacement shakes to help them lose weight. In this instance you want to replace 2 of
your daily meals with a shake. You might
choose breakfast and lunch or breakfast and dinner, depending on what works
best for you and fits in with your lifestyle.
Meal replacement
shakes can also be used once you've achieved your target weight in order to
help you maintain your weight and your new found body shape. Instead of replacing 2 of your daily meals,
you only need to replace 1 meal each day with a shake in order to help you
maintain your weight.

It's a good idea
to make sure that you drink plenty of water throughout the day as well. This will keep you hydrated and flush out any
toxins in your body. It will also help
to suppress your appetite and stop you feeling tempted to add extra snacks into
your diet. If you get bored of just
drinking water, green tea with mint or low calorie fruit teas are another
excellent choice.
One of the best
things about meal replacement shakes is how easy and convenient they are. All you need to do is add one scoop of your
chosen flavour to 200ml of cold semi-skimmed milk. Give it a good shake to mix it up and your
meal is ready!
