Hmm. I thought protein shakes are used to gain weight. But I could be wrong.

No, I dont need to lose any weight, but I looked up what it is, and it seems to be mostly caffeine in it, with a few vitamins...it'd probably be cheaper for you to have caffeine/coffee with a multivitamin.

There are some that can help you lose weight fast, but are not good for your body at all. Diet pills are not a good choice when trying to lose weight. Simply changing your style of eating, like halving portions, or adding 3 glasses of milk a day will help lose weight quickly. I've lost 20 lbs in the last 3 months by diet and exercise, but even just changing your diet will do a lot. Talking to your doctor about what would work best for you is also a very important step in losing weight. There is probably a lot you can do besides taking a "magic pill" that is easier on your body and you.

Slim fast helps you lose weight, by the simple fact that you're not eating as much. If you're able to eat just the two shakes for breakfast and lunch, rather than complete meals it should work for you.\n\nMake sure to also exercise regularly to get full benefits. You can read more about the meal plan on the box or at SlimFast.com.

It's effective for most people, but may not seem to work on some people.  You may ask your distributor for "enhancers", which you include with your program to assist in your weight loss than just the shakes alone.  If you're looking for a FAQ, check out herbaldietshop.com .  They seem to have alot of information there.  Good luck!

Yes, hypnosis can be very effective in helping people both lose and manage their weight.\n\nWorking with a hypnotherapist can help you address the most important factors for permanent weight loss: healthy eating, motivation to exercise, portion control, and identifying and removing triggers that may cause "emotional eating."\n\nI found a great story from ABC titled "More Dieters Turning to Hypnosis."

It makes you lose weight in the short term because protein had fewer calories and is harder for the body to break down into energy than carbs. However, it eventually catches up to you, and you begin to feel sluggish because your body can access the energy it needs

The best way is not to. But there are many things you can do to make it seem like you have lost weight. \nRemember, muscle weighs more than fat, so its not weight you want to look to lose but fat and inches to lose and muscle to gain.\nGet at least 75-80 grams of protein per day. The main reason people crave sugar is because they have a lack of protein to work off of. Your breakfast should be 60% protein, 40% fiber (as a meal, not as the whole day). That doesnt necessarily mean shakes. I drink chocolate milk for breakfast, a whole quart, and then eat a power bar or luna bar for the fiber. (remember that if you have no fiber, you get montezuma's curse.)\nThe worst thing you could do for yourself is not eat. You lose less weight not eating than eating. Not eating will slow your metabolism and you burn less calories, no matter how hard you work yourself.\nGet enough dairy in the day. It has been shown that 3-5 servings of dairy in your daily diet help you lose weight.\n\nYou can get exercise without machinery. If youre young and like to socialize, or have a PS2 or GC, there is a great game called Dance Dance Revolution, which is a great cardio workout with fun music and lots of people do it, all over the world. you can get a game pad to do it at home too, (to get better to show off to people in tourneys if you like!). \n\nMake sure you have all of your vitamins, whether in the food you eat or in a suplemental vitamin. no drugs, just vitamins.\nGreen tea has a natural substance in it called EGCG which helps boost metabolism. \nAnd...Spend at least an hour a week in teh sun. Not all at once, just over time. you can get more vitamin D from 15 minutes in the sun than from drinking an entire gallon of fortified milk!

I'm in the same situation -- almost there but not quite.  Dairy really helps me lose weight.  I drink lowfat chocolate milk in place of a meal.  It fills you up and it's nutritious.  Good luck.

120 - 160 grams of protein.  This will be important in helping to maintain muslce mass, since the body likes to convert glycine (an amino acid) to glucose for fuel when in a gasting state.  There is no easy way to pack this much protein into a single shake, unless it is a really big shake.\n\nI recommend getting the cheapest brand of protein you can find (preferrably derived from milk or egg).  You will probably have to do other things beyond consuming protein to lose weight, but this is probably the amount that you will need to consume.

as a snack between meals, it would be good instead of junk snacks. Don't add sugar to it and use 8 oz of low fat or 2% milk. Study shows when you drink milk it helps you keep a lower weight and less body fat. Have an exercise plan as well, walk at least 3-4 times a week for 20 mins or more and then increase if possible, measure your servings, drink water. You'll do good. I hope this helps. I used this and I lost 10 lbs in 6 wks. Remember, everyone is different and you may as well loose less or more. Just dont give up.

cutting carbs wont make you lose weight. you simply have to consume less calories than you burn during the day. \nso techincally, you coudl eat candy for every meal, as long as you exercise enough you will still lose weight, though i would HIGHLY not reccomend that one. your calories shoudl come from the following:\n55-65% carbs\n20-25% fats\n10-25% protein\n\nthe best place to start is by reducing fat, since they contain the most calories. \nand you can eat sharp cheddar. just keep in mind that it wont jsut magically happen, you will have to work for it but anything is possible. i've seen some incredible transformations.\n\nAnd do not try to use supplements to help you lose weight. they are some of the biggest scams ever.

Ok here we go. This is where a good protein diet will be bentifical. If you go on a traditional diet you lose mussle or you will actually gain weight or you will get sick. At least protein will protect your mussles and it will also help you get rid of that excess fat. I fill leave you a link to help you find out if you really need to lose weight.

Personally, I have had the best benefits with Whey shakes.  More protein is better, rule of thumb is about your body weight in pounds equal to grams of daily protein.  Exp 150 lbs = 150 grams of protein.  You should also take a multi vitamin to help your boby utilize the protein.  Ignore the brands, read the labels.  Don't forget the carbs!  Protein is energy too but you'll need carbs to fuel your work out.  Simple carbs like sugar, high calorie deserts during or around your work and pasta, bread, grains the night before.

Exercise & eat balanced & regular meals with enough protein. Just eating unhealthy will not help much & create more problems later. I tried GNC protein for 6 months & put on 25 pounds. I continued to exercise. I lost a few pounds when I stopped but stabilized at a healthy weight and have been there for over a year now.
