    Late response to this, but I have been doing the Ideal Shape Shakes, usually 1 in the morning with Unsweetened Almond Milk&a banana or other fruits& even spinach, sometimes for lunch if I'm in a hurry. I eat a lot of vegetables/nuts/legumes, I don't eat red meat, or chicken..but I eat fish. I feel great& the shakes have 50% of your RDI in just 1 shake, but I get 100% from "real food". Anyway, they have taken away my cravings for sweet treats. I'm seeing a lot of progress. I don't measure my goals by a scale, instead how I feel, and my clothing& everything is too big on me! So I think the shakes are great. As long as you control what you are putting in your body, and don't rely on the shakes alone to lose weight, they can be a great addition to your diet.

    I think they are very filling, and less expensive than a lot of MRS out there.

    I'm drinking 2 shakes a day plus eating 4x a day. I found that part of my problem was I was calorie and protein defiant before starting to add the protein shakes. I eat every 2-4 hours with them. Almond milk is great, but contains less protein than skim, soy, or a lactose free milk substitute. Yes it is only 30-40 calories for the Almond, but protein also makes you feel fuller and gives your body the essential nutrients your body needs to sustain and curb the added hunger you are describing. Your body adjusts and add some fruit , fresh spinach (no added taste just fiber!), pb2, or even dried instant oats to give add to fulling you up. Remember to read your body's needs as well. If you're hungry, you might need something...so have a healthy protein impacted snack. Hope this helps.

    Hello, I am thinking about getting these shakes. Is anyone on here still drinking them?

    There are disbelievers in every thing we try or do in life. I am a ex Biology/Chemistry teacher who quite teaching to sell pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. I now work in the food science field for a national food giant. Let me tell you that the science behind proteinase inhibitors and their affects on CCK levels is real. This will suppress appetite and give most people a increased feeling of fullness. Not a bad way to lose a little weight. It does not always work in women depending on the time of the month and their hormone levels, so be patient, eat healthy and work out regularly!!!!!!

    I tried the Ideal Shape ones and they didn't fill me up at all. I didn't even finish the box.

    I just started trying the shakes. So far, I've definitely felt reduced hunger and less need to snack during the day. I like the flavor and add light plain soy milk to mine. I haven't tried blending it with fruit yet, but I'm looking forward to trying different mixes out. Really great to replace breakfast or lunch when you don't have a lot of time and want something quick and filling. Unlike a few other shakes I've tried, the taste is pretty decent! Will try it out for another couple weeks and see how it goes :)

    I was skeptical about the shakes. I used them for 30 days to replace breakfast. I lost 13 pounds. Then I ordered a sixty day supply and lost 30 pounds replacing breakfast and lunch. These shakes are awesome. I'm a trucker so I stop at truckstops with crappie food all the time. Best choice for losing weight.
