    I know some info: you're better off eating real food. If for some reason you don't like real food or perceive you don't have time for it, buy some protein powder and make you a shake.

    no shakes, no pills, just portion control. Calories in calories out. That is all you will hear on this site because we are right.

    Shakes and pills are not necessary for weight loss and can become very expensive. If you invest in a food scale and eat at a deficit you should see the scale move.

    And anyway there's a recipes section in the forums with shake recipes.

    I make a morning shake with baby spinach, frozen strawberries, and Greek yogurt. Sometimes I've thrown in some no salt added peanut butter to sweeten it up a bit. One trick I've learned is to put it in the freezer for about an hour or so, so it's like a slushy.

    But no, I'm not a fan of pills. Tried them in college and my hair started to fall out!

    The body detoxes itself. All the detox/cleanses do are remove money from your account.

    Body doesn't need to detox. Your body naturally cleanses it self through your liver and kidneys. Anything else promising a detox or cleanse is probably full of bunk. Save your money.

    Hi Jodie. You don't need to do detoxes or cleanses honey. Your body does a grand job of that all on its own. Save your dosh and invest in a decent kitchen scale and read some of the fabulous stickies threads at the top of the forum. You'll be winning in no time :)

    Your body does not need shakes or pills to detox. It does that itself.

    Do yourself a favour and learn how weight loss works by reading the stickies on the forum. If you do that then you will be able to sort out common diet myths and misconceptions and be able to focus on burning moe than you consume for weight loss.

    Shakes have their place, not the pre made kind, but the ones you make yourself. I need my breakfast to go as I don't have time to sit down and enjoy my breakfast. I need something easy to have while I'm driving (a breakfast sandwich falls apart or makes a mess). I have 1 cup of almond milk, 70 grams of frozen fruit, 33 grams of protein powder, and 7 grams of fiber....blend together and away I go.

    I don't think she meant you.

    Losing weight can be confusing at first. The #1 thing is to start to track everything you eat. Then from there you can start to make adjustments.

    Although I don't disagree with anyone's opinion here, I do think shakes can be nutrious and filling and low calorie.

    The downside is that the are expensive. Fresh fruit, premium protien powder, organic nut butter...whether homemade or prepared.

    I use Shakeology from beach body. It is roughly $3.95 per shake if I add almond milk. That is crazy expensive and not sustainable for a lifetime of good eating habits. However it keeps me full for hours and has under 220 calories. It tastes ok. The nutrition profile is like taking a multivitamin.
