Meal Replacement Shakes

Replacement meal shakes can be an effective choice for managing your weight, but they shouldn’t be relied on for the long term. Whilst they contain some essential nutrients, they don’t provide everything your body needs, like enzymes. 

 

Meal replacement shakes are best consumed as part of a healthy lifestyle including a balanced diet and regular exercise. 

Diet shakes can be healthy, but only when used as part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. You’ll also want to make sure you’re looking for shakes that are high in protein, fibre and other essential vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid weight loss milkshakes that contain a lot of added sugar or artificial ingredients. 

 

You should also always check with your GP or a dietician, to make sure diet replacement shakes are right for you. 

A protein shake can be a meal replacement occasionally. But, this is only if it is formulated to be nutritionally complete and contains a good balance of micro and macronutrients.
