What is a Meal Replacement Shake?
Meal replacements shakes are pre-packaged powdered drink mixes. They are very nutrient dense and can be mixed easily and conveniently with water, milk, or juice and then taken in the place of a meal. They are convenient, inexpensive, and most taste pretty good.
Meal replacement shakes are probably the most valuable and underrated weight loss supplement. In fact, they really are not supplements at all " They are complete meals. Meal replacement shakes provide a perfect, compact meal that is high in protein, low in fat (some have no fat) are low in carbohydrates, and contain all your essential vitamins and minerals.
People are always looking for the magic solution to fast fat loss or building muscle, buying some metabolism boosting drink or diet pill that promises miraculous results. We gain body fat by having poor eating habits, so the only way to undo the damage is to reverse the cycle by developing good eating habits. Meal replacement shakes help us to get fast weight loss results while we are learning to make good diet choices.
For optimum fat-burning and muscle-building results, we need to consume a quality protein, moderate-carb, low-fat meal about every three to four hours. This equals about 5 meals per day. So, replace two or three of your whole food meals with a quality protein, low calorie, low carb meal replacement shake and you will drastically start burning off stored body fat.
