Diet Shakes

What are weight loss shakes? 

Weight loss shakes, or meal replacement shakes, are nutritious shakes designed for those who are trying to lose weight or manage their calorie intake. They contain essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs yet have fewer calories than an everyday meal. Diet shakes are intended to replace one or two meals a day and should always be used as part of a healthy, well-balanced diet alongside adequate exercise. 

How do weight loss shakes work?  

The idea behind diet shakes is simple: by taking in fewer calories than you burn, you’re naturally going to lose weight. Replacing a meal with a diet shake helps you take in fewer calories than with a normal meal. This creates a calorie deficit, which causes your body to burn fat for energy.  

Are diet shakes easy to use?  

Most shakes, like our Body&Fit Low Calorie Meal, are powders that simply need to be mixed with water or milk. Alternatively, you can enjoy Body&Fit Low Calorie Meal Ready to Drink as a convenient and nutritious meal when you’re on the go. There’s no need to plan meals or cook, which can make it easier to stick to your diet.

Can I replace all my meals with weight loss shakes?  

No, our diet shakes are not suitable to replace all your meals. Our Body&Fit Low Calorie Meal, for example, is suitable for replacing 1 or 2 meals a day.  

Weight loss shakes can help you lose weight in the short term. In the long term, however, it can be difficult to maintain your diet if you’re only drinking these shakes. Moreover, you run the risk of lacking certain nutrients if you use them to replace all your meals.  

It’s therefore best to use diet shakes as part of an energy-restricted diet. Use them for breakfast or lunch, for example, but also eat normal meals. That way, you can enjoy the benefits without the risk of nutrient deficiencies.  

What should I pay attention to if I want to start using weight loss shakes?  

If you decide to start using diet shakes, it’s important to look at the ingredients and nutritional value of them. Find shakes that are rich in protein and fibre and contain as few sugars as possible. That way, you can enjoy the benefits of diet shakes without risking nutrient deficiencies.  

A healthy lifestyle is not only about losing weight, but also about getting enough exercise, relaxation and sleep. Therefore, make sure you have a good balance between healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.
