    I say save your money and eat real food.

    My thoughts too! I've tried a couple of different shakes, I never found a brand I really liked or even felt satiated by after drinking.
    If I'm going to have a smoothie, I'll usually make a 'green smoothie', which uses leafy greens as a basis (usually spinach, but I've also tried kale and Swiss Chard) and either water or almond milk, and added fruit sometimes. Not sure if it's the fiber content of the spinach, but it always fills me right up!

    I think it's garbage but that's not my point of this post.

    Be careful buying on eBay, most "authentic" products on there are completely fake and not what they're advertised to be. This is especially true with high end makeup products and high end gimmick-type products like you're seeking off of that site.

    Eat real food. Shop the parimiter of the store and stock up on fresh/frozen vegetables and fresh fruit, good meat.

    I have never been a fan of liquid meal replacements in general, but I now use Almased shakes and I LOVE them! It's the only liquid meal replacement I have ever tried that actually has all natural ingredients, and keeps me full for a full 4 hrs. I am a Registered Dietitian and Cert. Diabetes Educator and have seen a lot of success in my diabetic patients with Almased use as well.
    Of course, it is essential that one be well educated on how to eat a healthy diet in order to use these products for what they are meant for, which is a convenient way to get a a well balanced nutrient intake when we don't have time to plan or prepare a proper meal.

    One of my girlfriends tried to get me on it, I wasn't interested from the beginning, but the way she tried to push it during our conversation made me absolutely never ever want to try it.

    I have a soy intolerance and you know what it's FILLED with? Soy and more soy. I actually asked one of the people harassing me to buy it what was in the stuff because I couldn't find it. Got him off my back though.

    I really like the Smart Smoothies from Complete Nutrition. I have a hard time getting enough protein, because I don't like meat very much. They taste really good, and mix nicely. Have you tried a blender bottle? I think they work better than some of the other bottles out there.

    I have some of the Body by Vi mix (someone gave me a package, I didn't buy it) and I like it because it has more fiber than regular protein mix.
