Thread: What to look for in Meal Replacements

There are two types of uses for meal replacements. First is when you are trying to lose weight, and second is when you are trying to gain some weight.

If you are trying to lose weight then you would want meal replacements that are low in fat and low in calories. I heard that Myoplex Lite is highly recommended by many as it only has 190 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, and only 2 grams of sugar.

If you are trying to gain some weight, you should be looking for meal replacements that has 30 to 40 grams of protein. Myoplex Deluxe is also favored as each packet has 42 grams of protein, 29 vitamins and minerals, and a variety of flavors to choose from.

Are meal replacements safe? What benefits can we get from it?

A meal replacement diet consists of pre-planned, pre-made, nutritionally balanced meals. You never have to worry about what you’re eating because the meal contains every nutrition that you need to get the effect that you want. Meal replacement plans take all of the guesswork and difficulty out of dieting, making it easier to lose weight and eat healthy.

Some meal replacement drinks though dry out the mouth, and people end up drinking large quantities of fluids, which they then retain in their body. Some of them also act like diuretics increasing the urge to go to the bathroom more than expected. I also read that some people experince more hunger and thirst from the meal replacement drinks and bars.
