If you mix it with milk, for example, you'll be taking in maybe 180-200 calories a day. You need to be consuming around 500 calories for breakfast in order to rev up your metabolism. You take in less than 400 calories for breakfast, you're slowing down your metabolism. Nothing wrong with any kind of shake - Visalus or any…

Sodium intake is definitely something to watch. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water. If your water intake is too low, your body will retain water to protect itself.

Whole foods (non-processed) carbs are very good for you. And you NEED fiber if you want to lose weight. So essential. Also, don't believe the hype about not eating…

Eat a serving of fruit with every single meal. Fruit also helps keep you hydrated. If you're not hydrated, you won't lose…
