Anyone Try GNC's Weight Loss Plan?

During the summer I work at least a full and part time job and don't usually eat health. So I was thinking about doing GNC's weight loss meal plan more as a way to continue eating right than losing wieght. I figure it would cost the same to eat easy mac and ramen for breakfast/lunch as it is to drink a protien shake. Has anyone tried it?

    It probably would be ok, if you can drink a shake everyday!!

    Why don't you make your meals ahead of time, prepare some lettuce and veg to make a salad super easy to whip together, and portion out cheese or meats so that you can just grab a container to go? It costs less to buy whole foods and prepare them yourself. You won't *learn* anything about healthy eating by substituting real food for a shake.

    ^^ Agree! With a bit of planning and organization you can make full meals for your busy times. I'm not a fan of shakes for meals (although I do admit when I'm really short on time and can't run home to have dinner or something I will have a shake as it's better than fast food).

    The GNC plan teaches you how to eat the right portions of food and you have a shake when you are the busiest. So for me driving from one job to another during lunch it's easier to drink a shake then it is to eat a salad. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the plan more for taste wise.
