Lose weight by replacing meals with shakes

• 1

  Choose the right shake. As a general guideline, opt for a shake that is nutritional but has less than 5 grams of fat and 300 calories per serving. Be sure that you like the taste of the shake.

• 2

  Choose the meal you will replace with a shake. You can alternate which meals you replace from day to day, depending on your needs.

• 3

  Stay committed to your plan, having one shake daily instead of a meal. If the shake does not satisfy your hunger, supplement with high-fiber, low-fat foods like carrots, grapes or apples.

• 4

  Set yourself up for success by choosing healthful foods for your other meals and by exercising three to five times per week.

• 5

  Have your daily shake for at least a month before gauging results. After a month, you should see results. Continue to use the shakes if you desire further weight loss.
