Do Shakes Help You Lose Weight?

Share and Enjoy:

I like so many other people are trying to lose weight this year (like I have been the last 5). I would like to get rid of my stomach weight after having my youngest son- who is now 5, wa-wah-waaah. My mom bought me 3 cases of the Equate Ultra Weight Loss Shakes. They come in three different flavors: chocolate, french vanilla, and strawberries 'n cream. I got one of each. Personally I think they all tasted pretty good. Although French Vanilla was my least favorite of the three. The directions tell you to replace one or two meals with a shake, or they can be used as a snack for in between meals. The only problem with this for me is that they are just a drink. They do not help me feel full at all. I am not extremely overweight, but I am not that active either. I do try to eat sensibly- most of the time. These shakes do not make me feel full so all drink them for are snacks. I drink a shake and 30 minutes later I am hungry. Maybe I just do not have strong will-power but if I replace 2 meals a day by dinner time I am starving! They are loaded with nutrients and vitamins so I guess that is good. I say give these a try if you want. Personally they do not work for me.

Good to know these shakes do not make you feel full. Have you tried blending it with a banana? That almost guarantees you will feel full!

Interesting that they do not make you full. Atleast they taste good. Mabe consider adding some fiber powder to It.

Shakes as meal replacements have never worked for me. I like to eat! I hope you find a diet that works for you!
