Affordable Meal Replacements for Rapid Weight Loss

There are a few things you should keep in mind when searching for low calorie, low carb meal replacements to use on your rapid weight loss plan. For the best results, you should order supplies that are comparable to what you’d get under physician assisted / weight loss clinic plans. You can browse the most popular meal replacements by clicking here.  As far as brands go, there are a few major brands: Optifast, Medifast, Herbalife, etc., then you have generics that are re-branded by different doctors and companies. For example, if you’re interested in buying Vanilla Shake & Pudding 2-in-1 meal replacements, you’ll notice that the exact same product is available at different online stores and local clinics–the only difference being the company logo (or product line branding) above the product name.  Some companies, like DietDirect.com (WonderSlim), have modified the package appearance more than their competitors, but the ingredients are still exactly the same (you can verify this by viewing the product ingredients on the product pages).

Rapid weight loss diet meal replacements usually come in small boxes that contain 7  pouches (each pouch contains 1 meal replacement in powder form). Each box represents one meal that can be eaten everyday for 7 days. For example, if you intend to drink 3 shakes a day for the week, you will need 3 boxes of shakes. If you need more guidance on how much you’ll need, check out FAQ: How Many Meal Replacements Will You Need? If you decide to go with regular shakes that can be found in your local grocery stores, just make sure you purchase a low calorie, low carb shake that is labeled as a meal replacement shake for weight loss. On a plan like this, it’s absolutely imperative that you choose meal replacements that have the right nutrients so that you don’t starve. For example, there are great protein shakes out there that are ONLY for the purpose of delivering protein–those shakes are completely void of the vitamins and nutrition you would need to get through the day. Those shakes usually state pretty clearly that they’re not designed to be used for meal replacement. Likewise, shakes that are suitable for meal replacement usually indicate so on the label. Also, make sure you don’t accidentally buy a sports/ performance shake that aides in GAINING weight.
