How to Lose Weight with a Meal Replacement

By Vito La Fata


Are you trying to lose weight but have run out of ideas to try? Using a meal replacer may be the answer that you are looking for. Meal replacers come in many different forms, such as shakes, boxed products and bars. Meal replacements are food products which have a robust amount of nutrition and are designed to stand in for an entire meal, as the name suggests.

Some people wonder if they will be hungry while using a meal replacer. You may think that if you eat fewer calories during one meal (such as when you use a meal replacer), you will make up for the calorie reduction at a later meal, effectively canceling out your attempt at losing weight. Happily, however, this is generally not what happens. It may be because people tend to get used to having fewer calories at that particular meal and not end up replacing them.

Meal replacements can also help you lose weight by giving you a different mindset or mental image of your eating habits. Visualizing your meal replacement meal as a smaller meal can possibly have the effect of helping you to eat slower and be more cognizant of how full you are getting as you eat.

When choosing a good meal replacer, there are some things to keep in mind. First, where to buy them: generally, you will find these at the grocery store where you usually shop. Alternatively, you may be able to get them from your doctor or from a weight loss expert. Just be sure that your meal replacer has around two hundred to three hundred calories in it. Also, stay away from meal replacers that have a lot of sugar. Finally, make sure that they contain at least one third of the daily requirements of minerals and vitamins.

Should all clients who want to start a reduced calorie diet begin with meal replacements? No. Before starting a reduced calorie diet, clients may find it helpful to consult a doctor about their weight loss plans, partially if pre-existing health conditions are present. It may be necessary to adjust medication, especially for people interested in replacing two or more meals per day.

How long should clients use meal replacements? If using one meal replacement per day, clients can continue indefinitely, as long as they monitor their intake at other meals to maintain a well-balanced diet. Those who plan to use two or more meal replacements per day should seek the advice of a clinical weight loss specialist.
