Anyone know if these really aid weight loss?? I've been drinking them since Saturday and I swear I've actually gained weight.

If you use anything what works for you?

    When I first started losing I used these. Worked great for me.

    Are they the same as the Lean shakes they used to sell? I managed a GNC store for a little while and Lean Shakes were amazing as far as taste. I sold them both to people looking to lose AND those looking to gain (mostly older people). The reason for that is if you use them as intended, as a meal replacement, they make for a very low (some would say too low) calorie meal and if you're in a calorie deficit, will cause weight loss. BUT if you just add them to what you're already eating, you're probably going to gain weight. That's just math.

    As stated, they don't have any magical weight loss property. What will help you lose weight is a calorie deficit. If you like the shakes, by all means, fit them into your day. Just remember that calorie deficit rules weight loss.

    I take lean shake 25 and have lost 9 pounds my first 3 weeks (along with clean eating and excersize)

    I use it in replacement for what are potentially my worst meals of the day which are 1) the 745am food truck at work where I used to get breakfast burritos and 2) when I get home from work right before the gym I'd eat like a peanut butter sandwich and snack on crackers. I have eliminated both bad habits with lean shake and am about to buy my 3rd tub
