I haven't tried them but your daily calories sound awfully low- maybe eat a bit more because you may get too hungry with the deprivation and then overeat.

It's really no different than slimfast. You might lose some weight but as soon as you eat real food again you'll gain weight back. Why not just eat real food?

It's what the app recommended I eat 1200 calories a day as Iam very petite I would imagine 4ft 11 and 8st 5 goal weight 8st I just can't shift the last little bit that sits around the middle after healthy eating and exercise for 6 months starting at 9st 1 .. Trying to shift the last little bit for my holiday in 6 weeks so thought having a shake in place of lunch .. Just wanted to know if anyone see results with doing something the same

With only 5lbs to lose, 2lbs a week is way to aggressive. You should set your goal to .5lb a week.

I've being lossing slowly but surely for 6 months just want the last 5lbs in time for holiday .. Just won't seem to budge I've stayed the same weight for a while now seem to have stopped lossing any that's why I want to try something different

Liquid meals are usually a part of a fasting regimen. You break the fast with a so called "sensible dinner."

(If I could eat a sensible dinner easily I wouldn't need to lose weight in the first place, so this is not helpful advice, imo, but I digress.)

If you would like to try intermittent fasting to see if it works for you, it would be cheaper to just fast, and then be sure to eat the appropriate amount of calories when you break the fast. I'm talking about short term fasting, not starving yourself, read up in IF if you do not know much about it.

If you would rather not fast, then solid food will probably be more satiating and make it easier to maintain a caloric deficit.

Your weight loss goal can be achieved with solid food as everyone else suggested. Your desire to lose the fat around your midsection could be achieved with maintaining your current weight and implementing strength training. A proper Lifting regimen at either maintenance or a caloric deficit can help recomp your body to a lower body fat percentage.

I've started drinking whey protein shakes for breakfast sometimes. Consider it instead of meal replacement? Could have less calories than meal replacement, and more protein. And possibly cheaper.

Iv been using Slimfast shakes on and off since end of January. My calories a day are usually between 1250-1400. Lost 3 and a half stone so far. Iv had days/weeks off and not put it all back on like people think will happen. It can be done.
