    I do Herbalife shakes and I love them. They make me feel full in the mornings so I don't snack a lot until I get a chance to eat lunch. I like that they have all of my daily nutrients in one shake : )

    Labrada Lean Body for Her uses Sucralose, an artificial sweetener. I'm not saying that's ideal, but it's supposed to be safe. I like the Soft Vanilla Ice Cream flavor.

    I guess if you are planning on using them for life then it should work ..but are you really going to have a meal replacement shake for dinner, for life? IMO you would do better with just finding a point where you restrict calories, lose weight, and eat healthy, this will put you on a path to long term changes that will have long term healthy benefits....

    I always say that you should eat your food, not drink it ...

    I started GNC lean shakes on Thursday of last week. I am down 4 lbs. I feel full after I drink them and the swiss chocolate is great!

    I am not a breakfast person so I have a protein shake almost every day. Days I work I also have one for lunch or dinner depending on my shift. The ones I have for lunch or dinner, I add a banana and 1TBSP of peanut butter to make them more filling.

    If you're not a breakfast person, maybe you shouldn't have breakfast at all and save the calories for later. It is a myth that breakfast is essential for everyone.
