Hey all.
I'm looking to lose weight but have no self control when it comes to food or portion control.
I hardly eat breakfast, scoff lunch down and have a late dinner. Some snacks in between.
A friend told me tonight about rapid loss shakes. She said the chocolate ones are pretty tasty. Just wondering if anyone else has had any positive experiences with this plan. It's supposed to make you fuller for longer?

I havent personally, but a friend of mine said that she really didnt liek them, after all the hype they created she said its nothing more then all the other shakes and bars they are throwing around everywhere.. so i dont htink i would try them, but its all different effects on different people
But how much are you looking at wanting to lose?
I'll be happy losing ten to 15 kilos... The weight is hard to shift though because I feel so hungry all the time. I eat and eat and eat...
I'm 85ish kilos now. I'd like to be at around 70-75 kilos. To start with. Not outing a time limit on it yet though.

ah ok, i just recently imported these tablets for my mum for weight lose and my coousin actually recommended them too..
Apparently they lost 2-3 in the first couple weeks.. and one girl went from 93 to 81 in 3 months..
Its actually all natural and you take that tablet plus another one that tightens you muscles or soemthing also..
My mum takes the wieght loss one in the morning and the other one at night, she complained if she took both she felt abit nausea's
I can PM you the name if you want?
Sure :) thanks.
Although I have trouble swallowing pills.
I'll have a look. :)
Can they be taken with antidepressants?

i spoke to a nutritionist recently & she was telling me that alot of the shakes were originally designed to help people who needed operations shed a lot of weight quickly so they could have surgery. no idea if that's true but my own experience is that i felt horrible after only having one! i had one for breakfast & got the shakes driving to work & a big headache. those things are meant to go after a few days but i decided pretty much right away they weren't for me!
if you'd consider it, i'd try by making myself eat a decent breakfast - i reckon it's the best way to help cravings, feel full & get your day started right :)
Try making your own shakes, when I was loosing weight I used to make one up and have one for lunch I used no fat milk and threw in a heap of cut up fruit, I lost 8kg in 6 weeks, then xmas came and i went off the rails, now i am starting again
Sloane- thanks for the info.
I hardly eat breakfast anyway. So having a shake for breakfast may actually do me good.
I usually have a late lunch and an even later dinner. So if I have a shake for breakfast at the minimum then it will most prob fill me up to avoid those sugary snacks that I've been having before and after lunch. I'd eat till I'm stuffed! :(

Not sure about the shakes but I find that exercise and coffee are both appetite suppressants for me. Helps me get through the day as I am pretty good at binge eating.
Haha I don't drink coffee lol

I don't know about the weight loss shakes but most protein based ones are good as a supplement when you're training rather than as an actual meal replacement.
Do you drink tea? I make a cuppa when I think I'm feeling hungry and that's usually enough to get me through. Drinking lots of water also helps. More often than not, we are actually thirsty not hungry.
Try and start the day with a good breakfast, it really does make a difference to your hunger and food choices throughout the day.
Eat like a king at breakfast, a commoner at lunch and a pauper at dinner :)
No I don't drink tea either.
I just brought rapid loss.
Its so chocolatey. So not as bad as those other shakes.
Thought I'd leave it in the freezer for a bit but nope it got all gluggy even leaving it for half hour. So might just scull the 200mls with chilled milk.
It seems to be ok. Only had a little bit and not as hungry today!

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!
