PZ - I have done another brand of shake but have been happy with it. Not sure but I imagine they would all be similar? I have had a big leafy green salad with the lunch shake and also have a snack of apple and some almonds for morning tea and then pear and almonds for afternoon tea. I really needed to reset my system and realised I have been really out of touch with my food needs!!! I was also surprised about not being hungry and have had some moderate success over the last 3 weeks.
Good luck! xxx
