Bec,

I have been on Kate Morgan since Christmas. Feel free to have a look at my blog linked in my sig. It costs $3.25 per sachet, and then about $20 for the booklets to get you going.

In terms of its affect on your metabolism, it won't impact your metabolism at all, BUT the two shakes and the healthy dinner equal a low colorie intake, so when you move OFF Kate Morgan, you will will need to be mindful that you will have to implement a carefully laid maitainance plan.

The jury is really divided on "shake diets", I know, so I am just imparting my personal experience:

My argument is this:

Whilst I know what a healthy diet is, I have, for way too long, allowed myself to ignore my own knowledge because of a multitude of emotional and mental reasons. I have consciously chosen all the WRONG foods, despite my education.

A prescriptive shake diet, such as KM, for me, removes 99% of the choices. I can do it without thinking, and therefore WITHOUT TEMPATATION!

Ummm, shall I have a couple of slices of toast with nutella & peanut butter for my brekky? Or a low fat yogurt?

That is a choice I would rather not have to make right now.

So my choice currently is "cappuccino shake or vanilla shake". I make it, skull it, and move on with my day. No guilt, no choice, no shame, no beating myself up at all. (The shakes taste really nice BTW!)

I think a lot of people poo poo shake diets. But with 40kg to lose, I JUST KNEW that it would help me SHIFT the large proportion. Then I can start focusing on the psychological issues.

Most intelligent women KNOW what a healthy diet looks like. The mental & emotional issues are far far more complex.

I have now lost 20kg and have moved off Kate Morgan to work with a personal trainer and am now using Calorie King to track and plan very heathy low calorie (1200 daily) meal plans that are high in protein, low in fat and high in effective low GI carbs......so not much sugar, bread or pasta, more veggies and grains.......


Good luck!
