    Hi have you tried it yet??
    how are you getting on with it, I've just brought the product and was looking for meal ideas when I came across this.
    I'm looking at the first week with two shakes one meal, and going to try the second week with 3 days of 3 shakes and then back to two. also I brought the fat burner.
    I'm really looking forward to trying this diet but would like to hear from someone who has used it

    and people need to take there negativity else ware! You wont put all the weight back on unless you just stop and eat junk food, but that happens with ever diet going not just the slender blend people!

    Three weeks of starving yourself is probably going to make you look the same you do now. No visual changes. The scale might tell you a different number but the scale is a trivial number no one knows but you. Unless, you plan on wearing your weight number on your clothes to portray your epic achievement of weight loss. I'm assuming you want fat loss. You're more likely to lose fat with a sustainable deficit, some form of resistance training, and time. It takes time. Plain and simple. But this is probably a wasted block of text for you, as based on your responses in this thread, you seem hellbent on taking the crash and burn course of action.

    Exactly what I was thinking! Also Speaking as someone who's done fad diets in the past (not shake ones, but food group eliminating ones, low fat, etc); they as total bs, only work in short-term, and are awful for your metabolism. It's your body, do what you want with it, but you'll regret it when you drop 10 and gain back 20. But like SugaryLynx said based on your answers you'll ignore or dismiss the replies you don't like anyway.

    If by "stop and eat junk food" you mean "stop and begin eating meals like a normal person again" then you are absolutely correct.

    That's why dieting is bad. Calorie control is the only way to lose and then maintain weight.

    You asked for people's opinions and then call them harsh for not telling you what you want to hear?
    Nice!
    Grow-up!

  • I'm giving it a go to see of it kick starts my weightloss. I agree sensible eating is the key but I'm one of those fatties inspired in the veining when the weight comes off. I plan to gradually reduce the shakes with small portion plates of food. My problem is portion size rather than unhealthy food.

    If it helps me lose weight I can't see how it's a bad thing.

    Didn't find it too expensive either

    So you agree that sensible eating is key, and that your problem is portion sizes.

    And your plan to fix these two problems is to ignore them completely for the time being.
  • I'm rubbish at meal plans and just think that I will be motivated by a good weightloss to start with. Each to their own and all that
  • Hi I've just bought this with the intention of having 1 or 2 shakes a day.
    Obviously I am using it for weight loss by combining it with exercise and healthy eating.

    The reason I've gone for this is because I rarely eat at home because I travel 4 hours a day to work and back so tend to eat my meals on the train. I've found that I am constantly hungry so have opted for this to keep me fuller for longer so I don't snack as much (which is my main issue)

    I'm not even entirely sure why you posted this if your intention was always going to be to do it even though you knew you would suffer considerable backlash against this choice?

    That being said do what is right for you- but under no circumstances expect this to be a long term fix. Also those meal replacements reeeeeeaaaaaalllly screwed with the, ahem, internal workings of a few people I know....

    I admittedly never understood the concept of a "meal replacement shake". Calories are calories and in terms of weight loss calories are what count.

    If instead of eating a varied lunch from day to day I instead decided to routinely eat a small hamburger would I refer to that as a "meal replacement hamburger"?

    Shakes have calories, food has calories. If you drink a shake that has less calories than the food you would have eaten then that creates a bit of a deficit. Then again if you ate some other food that hat less calories than the food you would have eaten or simple eat less of the food you would have eaten that also creates a deficit.

    There is nothing special about shakes other than convenience.

    I have a protein shake daily but simply because I am to lazy and spendthrift to bother cooking up a chicken breast for every lunch. Certainly don't call it a "meal replacement shake" its just lunch. Also don't understand why I would affix an arbitrary end date to my eating of lunch or drinking of that shake. That is my lunch, I plan to continue to eat that. If your food plan is so dangerously low on calories or nutrition that you can only sustain it for the short term then you shouldn't be doing it at all.
  • Hey how did you get on? i go on holiday in 3 weeks and wishing for a miracle lol!
