    Whatever shake you can see yourself drinking for the rest of your life. It's a lifestyle change. I stick to a good old fashioned whey protein shake post workout.

    Tried the Slimfast shakes many many years ago. It was not a successful endeavor.

    Now I make my own protein shakes and use the EAS brand.

    I know what's in it!

    I was given some Plexus Slim that i drink 30 minutes before breakfast. It has helped me cut my junk food out and i feel full faster and all day. Its not really a shake its a drink mix you add to water but it doesnt replace a meal so you dont have to feel that still hungry feeling. :)

    um the one where you get a blender and some fruit and veggie's and then make that wheeerrrrr-ing sound with them and drink that instead... and then eat food, you know the kind you chew...

    I like and drink the Slimfast "High Protein" pre-made shakes. (mostly chocolate)

    They have a better mix of nutrients, IMO. Lots of protein, very few carbs, enough fat.

    Be careful replacing meals with things that are not meals or formulated as "meal replacements".

    You need certain nutrients and there are other things to consider like fat - there are some studies that 7+ grams of fat in a meal can protect you from gallbladder issues (common during large diets) if you get enough fat to fully empty your gallbladder.

    There are 2 things that I use to kind of supplement or use as mid meals and they work really well for me :) They are both from Sprouts, the first is called Metabolic Reset and the 2nd is just a Whey protein. I drink both of them with fat free milk to get my protein and it's a great way to cut calories!!!
