I just buy a big tub of protein powder (just like the body builders use) and use that instead, its higher in protein, lower in carbs and less sugar than say Slim Fast and works out cheaper long term.

But does it have all the RDAs of vitamins, minerals etc?

As the title says anyone tried it? It was only available on line but you can now buy bits of it from Asda they sell chocolate or strawberry shakes, tomato soup, chocolate and caramel bars and they cost roughly about £3.80 each and have lasted me all week (I bought choc shake, soup and choc bar) for a £10 spend.

Been having a shake for breakfast and then a bar or soup for lunch a fruit snack and then a proper tea but no (or very little) carbs. Haven't been feeling hungry at all and because I'm drinking 2 litres of water a day now my skin has improved.

I've just weighed myself and have lost 8 lb (i do have a lot to lose and know it'll be mostly water) I'm over the moon, so I was wondering if anyone else had tried it and what they thought and how they are doing?

Well done on the 8 pound weight loss!

How long did it take to lose that much?

No I don't buy it from there but in any case you can always take a multivit if the protein powder you like doesn't have vits etc in, its better to have a shake with higher protein in (keeps you feeling full longer) and less sugar (Slim Fast is LOADED with it!)

it does describe it as Precision Engineered Whey Protein

do you get yours from the gym? am interested in this as I've just lost 3 stone with Cambridge and am keen to maintain with a shake for breakfast and/or dinner.

thanks

I bought the Weight to Go meal replacements for a month (online). I lost half a stone.
