    Is it actually called rapid loss?? lol...

    Shake diets are completely unrealistic. They may help you lose weight but as soon as you stop using them you will gain everything back. You need to change your lifestyle and how you eat/exercise not just drink shakes. It's not healthy for your body... If you want to lose and maintain weight do it the proper healthy way.

    Have you thought about getting a personal trainer and getting a meal plan set out for you so you don't have to think about what to eat, you just make whats on the list?

    I have done a shake diet before (although not this particular one) and have always lost weight. As soon as the shakes stopped I put it all back on again, such is the way with diets like this. The only way I have lost weight and kept most of it off (a few kilos have crept back on after going from 81kg to 69kg) was by counting calories (which helped me learn about portion sizes and good food choices that wouldn't leave me hungry all day) and exercise. So it depends, do you want to lose weight fast for a particular occasion (like a wedding) or are you trying to make a life change? If it is the latter avoid the shakes and look into making changes to your diet and routine that you can keep for life. A website like myfitnesspal will help you track your food/calorie intake if you don't want to join an organisation like weightwatchers, but whether you track online or with a group the end result should be the same, in that you will be more educated about how to eat the foods you like without compromising your health and your weight.

    A large number of members who come to my meetings (aka, Weight Watchers) have previously lost weight on these various meal replacement programs (which are NOT healthy, particularly in the long term) and then subsequently regained the weight lost (plus some) as soon as they have stopped the program.

    Good luck with whatever weight loss choice you make, although I personally would encourage everyone to look for a long term solution which involves making real changes to your lifestyle.

    I've decided to eat better and more often but smaller meals. And hopefully I can lose weight like that.

    Vomited up the shake this morning.
    I'm lactose intolerant! And I wasn't usually affected by skim milk but oh my gosh... Yeah. Now it is! Oops! Shakes are out. Healthier way in!
