    Rapid loss shakes

    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.

    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.

    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!
