How do you feel about meal replacement options?
How do you feel about meal replacement options?
These can be smoothies, bars, drinks, supplements, etc.
Is there something specific you look for (ex. price, ingredients, specific nutrients etc.)?
Is there a brand you like / avoid (ex. soylent, huel, hol food, etc.)
Edit:
I definitely don't recommend fully replacing your diet with them. I know some people use them instead of other processed food / fast food / skipping meals entirely, and that's the use case I had in mind for myself

The premade soylents are pretty good, and I regularly have them with a protein bar as my lunch. They're pretty expensive in my opinion, so I try and look for them on sale, but the ease of not having to prep lunch is often worth it. I try and keep it under $2 a bottle for the 14oz ones, which still feels expensive to me, but some of the lunches I prep are around that cost, and it's way cheaper than going out to eat (I keep a spare one at work in case I ever forget to bring lunch)
I’ve lost 20lbs in the last 2 weeks replacing 2 of my meals a day with Soylent RTD drinks! They’re great for dieting!
I get a pretty good deal, ordering them by the case on Amazon.
Edit: YMMV, but I was eating a lot of crap and eating way too much. Soylent makes it very easy to eat better and to control my caloric intake.
Should be careful about losing more than 1-2% of your bodyweight per week. Regardless, that sounds like amazing progress! Congrats!
I went from 206 to 186. I’m hoping to stabilize around 175-170. Good advice nonetheless, and thanks for the support!
One of the things I like the best about Soylent is that it’s both really tasty, and it’s also quite filling. Sometimes I get the urge to snack, so I just eat some fruit such as an apple or pear.
