My experience with meal replacement shakes

I started looking for weight loss or meal replacement shakes several weeks ago. I went online to find out which shake I could use to lose a few pounds, as well as provide good nutrition and a good hunger blocker.

I tried one because it was convenient, one because it was free, and the third as a result of my online research.

lose weight quickly: The first shake I tried was Slim Fast. Since I am a chocoholic. I like the chocolate milkshake. I must say that I really like the taste of Slim Fast Chocolate Shake. Slim Fast’s convenience was another big plus. It can be purchased at most supermarkets, drug stores, and Walmart. It can also be purchased already mixed in a handy plastic bottle for $1.30 to $1.80 per shake.

The downside for me was 200 calories and 22 grams of sugar. Since my goal was to lose weight and get the right nutrients, I thought I could do better. Another drawback was the hunger blocker. Although I really enjoyed the taste, I was hungry an hour later.

AdvoCare: The second shake I tried was Advo Care. A distributor handed me a package of chocolate milkshake. The taste was good but I preferred the taste of the other two brands I tried. The hunger suppressant was very good. I felt satisfied longer than with Slim Fast.

One drawback for me was 220 calories. Another was the price of around $2.57 per serving. The product is only available through distributors.

idealform: The last shake I tried was IdealShape. I am still using IdealShape to replace two meals a day. I like the flavor and I think it is comparable to Slim Fast, which was my favorite flavor.

Nutritionally speaking, IdealShape is excellent with 50% RDI per serving and only 100 calories and 2 grams of sugar. Hunger blockers seem to work well. I am usually full after each shake until the next shake or meal time.

With only chocolate and vanilla flavors available, some might think it would be inconvenient, but it’s fine with me as I’m very happy with chocolate. The website has recipes available for adding different flavors.

IdealShape cannot be found in stores and must be ordered through their website. The good news is that it is not MLM, so there are no problems when ordering and it comes with a guarantee. Priced at $1.33 to $1.66 per shake, it comes with a handy blender bottle that works great.

My results to date: I have been using IdealShape for about two weeks. I enjoy the taste and feel satisfied from one meal to the next. The blender bottle works great. A few good shakes from the bottle and I have a nice smooth shake.

I have lost 7 pounds so far, but at a starting weight of 235 I still have a few pounds to lose. The good thing is that I have noticed an increase in energy. I’m not very good at eating the right foods, so I think IdealShape makes sure I get the right nutrients.
