Are weight loss shakes really effective?

Question

(i.e. Slim Fast, Boost, etc.)? I've been having one for breakfast, a light lunch (like a salad) and one for dinner (and lots of water) for about a week now and I feel kinda bloated. I thought I was supposed to be LOSING weight, not gaining it?

Answer 1

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Well, some do, some don't! As for Slimfast, the first four ingredients in it are sugar. I tried it, didn't lose anything. I did find a weight loss shake that did work...it is called Shapeworks. I lost 95 pounds in 8 months using it. I love it! Here is a website of where I got it: www.loseweightnow.com/tfward

Weight loss shakes are not effective in the long term. The only way to lose weight is to eat less food, and do more physical exercise. There is no magic involved in losing weight.
