How long have you been doing this? How many calories are you eating? Are you weighing all of your food?
There is no benefit to drinking your calories vs eating them. If you eat or drink at a deficit, you will lose weight.
A liquid diet will trick you into thinking you are losing fat, because in the beginning, you are likely to lose a decent amount of water weight/waste in your system. So you may see a drop on the scale and think "yay, it's working." But that's not fat loss. And if you ever stop drinking your calories, those pounds will come right back on.
I would recommend trying to examine and fix what is wrong with your food diet before going to a liquid one.10 -
You probably don't want to drink diet drinks for the rest of your life, so eat real food and log it accurately. It will set you up for a lifetime of success.

Hi I’m meant to eat 1200 but struggling to get to that without going over my carbs and sugar I scan my food but it’s hard to know what else to eat1

As MikePTY mentioned, something is wrong with your current plan. You need to log everything as it's the only way you're going to have an accurate number of calories you are consuming.
However, I will answer your question based on my own experience. I will sometimes drink an Atkins Shake. While I'm not following the Atkins diet, I found the Atkins shakes to be one that I enjoyed drinking. I think they are about 160 calories and I would drink one about an hour before bedtime when I needed to consume a few extra calories.
But again, if you aren't losing weight then something is wrong with your current plan. Fix that...and you should be fine.0 -

Well, is 1,200 a reasonable goal for you?
That's the very lowest that a woman should go, generally. It isn't an appropriate goal for everyone. Like you're noticing, it can be challenging to meet your nutritional needs when you go that low.1 -
I’ve got to lose half stone I have no one to work out with so do some at home but am try so hard for my holiday as I’m over weight by a done but thought get half off3

Hi there - if you are looking to drop your carbs lower, I would possibly reconsider the rice in your diet, bumping up your veg and fat intake instead ? Are you aiming to keep your carbs under 50g ? If so, accurate logging is really important !2

So drop the rice I do I use the my fitness pal to scan food0

But struggling0

Make it as simple as possible. Eat what you want, within your calories. Log your food accurately using a food scale and the appropriate diary entries. If you want to go low carb, you can. It helps some people with satiety, but it's not going to make loss any faster. Over time, you'll discover what foods you find more filling and can adjust accordingly. That's really all there is to it.4

By whom? If there is a medical concern, then it's important for people to know that before advising.
Otherwise, what you eat is great for nutrition, satiety, energy, etc. But, it doesn't matter for weight loss.4 -
Ok will cut out rice1

Chicken veg yoghurt steak granola any other ideas that I can eat which will get weight off1

Literally ANYTHING you want within your calorie allowance. Macros and nutrition are important for health and satiety, but that doesn't mean you need to avoid foods or only eat certain other foods that are deemed worthy.
For example, granola is very calorie-dense and easy to overeat.10 -

To answer your original question, the best "diet" drinks are the ones that don't contain any calories, I prefer to eat my calories. So your best bet is to stick with things like water, black coffee, and unsweetened tea.2

Who told you to keep carbohydrates and protein low? Unless you have a specific medical condition that requires it, that's terrible advice.
Low carbohydrate diets are optional for weight loss.Weight watchers
I think you are confused. Weight Watchers does not recommend low protein. Matter of fact there are many protein foods on their "free list". Chicken, fish, eggs to name a few.4 -
I’ve give my self a head ache I was told about skinny revolution aswell but right now I think I will try what I’ve been trying1

141 carbs is what I’m allowed a day according to my scanner meal plan1

Forget about macros, carbs, Weight Watchers, Skinny Revolution, all of that. It all comes down to calories for weight loss. As was suggested above, read this thread:

Do you have a specific medical reason why you must restrict carbs, such as diabetes? If not, you don't need to worry about carbs at all. They are not directly relevant for weight loss. Weight loss happens when you are consistently in a calorie deficit, and it doesn't matter how many of those calories come from carbs.
Do you have a specific medical reason why you can't eat late at night, such as acid reflux? If not, then you don't need to stop eating at a particular time. The idea that eating at night is detrimental to weight loss is a myth.
Barring any medical conditions, all you need to do is set MFP to a reasonable pace of weight loss for your stats, and then consistently eat the number of calories it gives you. Get a food scale and weigh all solid food to be sure that your logging is accurate.5 -
