    If you have your mind made up that a meal replacement is going to fill you up and keep you filled up for hours just like a regular meal would, you will get the benefits of these..

    The downside is, these things are filled with tons of fillers, additives, sugars (real or sugar alcohols) and gosh knows what else. I am not allergic to anything and have no intolerances except to things I cannot pronounce on the labels and if makes me bloat, it is out the door.

    Meal replacements will work if they meet your nutritional goals setup in MFP and cause no discomfort... The GNC Lean Shake, expensive and filled with things I don't wont to know and gosh does it bloat, powder or pre made shakes... Use these caution.

    If you make smoothies, fresh fruit and berries (if they are in season) is good if you are going to eat it pretty quickly before it goes bad in the fridge otherwise frozen is just as a good or even in a a can like buying Dole or Del Monte fruit cocktail (you can get no sugar added, etc..)

    Shakeology doesn't have added sugars or fillers. I'm really picky about ingredients. It's a mix between a protein powder and a super food powder.

    Super food..... please explain.

    So I just started on idealshape and have honestly never had a meal replacement shake so delicious. That being said, has anyone successfully lost weight on their meal plan? It seems like a lot of food...

    I tend to find shakes/smoothies leaves me less satiated. So they haven't been "worthy" of my limited calories for a long time. Did finally get my DD to start consuming my awesome homemade plain yogurt when I added raspberry jam (easy sugar source for a picky child) to frozen raspberries and blended them together! She likes it for breakfast now (small, frequent eater so it fills her up).

    One of my close friends who is a Lifetime WW loves one of those shakes though - that's her breakfast every morning and has been for about 3 years now.

    For me, I like my plain yogurt with yummy, crunchy granola. Mmmm.

    I make smoothie meals. Because of all the fiber, this takes a really long time to drink and keeps me full for hours.
