SHAKES DIET - MEAL REPLACEMENT DIETS - SLIM FAST DIET

THE CONCEPT

Shakes diet refers to meal replacement diets, which use prepared "shakes" as a tool for weight loss. Diets such as Revival Soy, Slim Fast, Kashi GoLean use milk shakes as meal substitutes for weight loss.

THE PLAN

Generally, the shakes in these diet plans are made with many nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and many times they contain a strong portion of soy-related ingredients. They are designed to fill you up for an extended period of time, reducing the amount of snacking the average person does in a day. By filling you up without giving you many calories, users lose weight based solely on the lack of calories.

People tend to enjoy these plans, because they offer results and are easy to use. This plan suffers from a major pitfall that many similar diets do, that once a user ceases the program, they gain their weight back easily. There is no education on eating well, nor any support for those attempting to go it on their own.

The diets can and do work for the most part. Their popularity springs from the ease of use and the results. They can be recommended safely, but with a warning to ensure that the one meal a day users are meant to prepare themselves is rich in important ingredients and that they try to include exercise into their program.
