For those of you wondering if these meal replacement shake diets work, yes they do. 11 years ago I used the brand Herbalife to replace 2 of my meals with a shake. I had one meal that had about 600 calories. The meal consisted of protein and carbs. At night I used milk instead of water in the shake so it kept me fuller overnight. I lost about 75 pounds in 6 months. Which is kind of fast. I was 225 lbs in the beginning, and then at the end I weighed around 150. These shake diets tend to work since you’re in a calorie deficit due to you replacing two of your meals with a shake. Whether it’s right for you is completely up to you.
I followed your 3 episodes, you didn’t say how much weight you lost, or how much body fat. Like for real, this is why we’re here for, not for all the bla
I’m a woman in my 30s, who is pretty active and on largely healthy and unprocessed diet (plenty of fiber from vegetables, quality fats from olive and coconut oils, fish, lean meat and whole grains like pui lentils and wild rice - I’d say it’s on the low carb side but not an extreme). I‘ve been trying this out since the 2nd of Feb, in an attempt to shed some weight I’ve put on after I’ve quit smoking and leg injury last year, which prevented me from running for many months during lock downs. I should mention that I have been known to have a sluggish metabolism, but no health issues other than mild chronic kidney disease. Results so far are wildly encouraging: Starting weight: 74.3kg Current weight: 72.6 kg Disclaimers: 1) NUTRITION: I use low sugar whey isolate (1g of carbs per scoop), take magnesium, calcium, omega 3, collagen, coenzyme Q10 and multivitamin supplements, to prevent malnutrition and sports injuries during this challenge. I also add some Himalayan salt to my shakes, to help replace sodium lost during exercise. I consider adding fibre supplement to it from next week. 2) EXERCISE. I’m completing HIIT Max challenge available on UA-cam by Body Rock, which I’d recommend for anyone who is not new to exercise and is craving a personal trainer experience without a massive spend. You will find easier challenges also by them if you’re new to this form of intense effort, along with advice on correct form to prevent injuries. I do this in the gym daily, near my feeding window of 6-8 hours. 3) RESULTS: I have an advanced electronic body composition scales which showed 0.3% decrease in fat mass, 0.3% increase in muscle mass and, interestingly, an improved water weight composition by 2%. So I seem to be shedding fat and while keeping myself hydrated, which is great news! I will post weekly updates for the next 8 weeks, after which time I will replace one shake with a healthy salad with some seafood or another rich source of protein, and after a month, I’ll replace the 2nd shake with healthy dinner (lean meat/fish + steamed green veg in low carb dressing). Carbs will be added last and I expect to regain some of the water weight once this happens, but this shouldn’t lead to increase in fat mass. Hopefully I’ll manage to keep all the lost weight with this approach. If you’ve already tried this and have suggestions to improve my approach, please feel free to comment :)
Hello! I really hope you're doing well with your diet choices. I noticed in your comment that you have a kidney disease. Unfortunately most of these products pass through kidneys in order to be eliminated from our body. Since you have a chronic problem it would be preferable to ask your doctor before their consumption. Wish you all the best and a great success to your diet journey.
@@chdanae18 hello, I’m aware of this. It’s a mild problem and I haven’t had any symptoms suggesting that my kidneys are struggling at all. Also, I’m now alternating 2 weeks of the shakes with two weeks of normal, unprocessed calories maintenance diet, as I’ve read about a scientific study showing that this approach increases weight loss, compared to continued restriction. So far kept the 4kgs I’ve lost by eating varied diet, so I’m encouraged to keep going.
You’re already a fit low body fat guy,probably with a very good diet before hand, wouldn’t expect much weight to come off you. Now a fat git like me with a bad daily diet, I hope to see a bit more weight coming off. I start my shake diet tomorrow. Wish me luck.
I started a shake diet doing 2 a day 200 calories per shake and a dinner but still calorie counting making sure i dont go over 1400 a day and allowing my self 1 tea a day so im not having all the sugar but i am exercising i hold out to have my first shake at about 11.30 then the next at about 3.30ish
It was obvious at the beginning of the first episode that you've used HUEL Black Edition. They are quite complete nutrition with balanced macros and phytonutrient composition. Stating that you only have two flavours is misleading, as you could have bought the flavour boosts, which are awesome. I did a 10-day diet in which I mostly had only HUEL Black shakes on some days (6/10). Sometimes i would have 4 shakes, sometimes 3, with no other food. I did some form of exercise maybe 6 of those days, as my job is very desk-based. I lost 3.5 kg in those 10 days.
If you are at home and have access to a mixer I would recommend that when using a shake diet to get a better consistency of the shake. They usually don't taste supergreat, so everything you can do to make it taste better is valuable.
ive replaced my lunch with a shake, porridge for lunch then a steady dinner with very low carbs. then later on a glass of greek youghurt. 1,2 months after ive lost around 10kg. and i only walk around 35kms per week. But its hard to go down, i need to drop 8-9kg more but atm the weight is stuck.
I don’t know if you’ll read or let alone reply, but I just want to say that I lost a lot of weight in a week just by doing cardio. Mostly cycling for an hour, which usually burn 300 - 600 calories according to the machine after putting my weight. Now, the problem is that most of these weight lost is too drastic. I’d lose like 5kg per week is I cycled for at least 5 - 6 days per week. Some say it’s water retention. I haven’t done any studies regarding the total water retention our bodies can hold, but it seems off to me. But, back to the main subject and with that drastic of a weight lost I hardly felt tired, hungry or fatigue and muscle grew but not as drastic as my weight lost. All this was done without a protein shake. The best part is during the lockdown period I haven’t been exercising and just maintain my meal until June, where I cracked and ate two double cheeseburgers and two fried chicken. I did the same eating style over the past few weeks. But, when I weighed in I saw that I lost a lot of muscle and gained a lot of fat and to my surprised no more than a kilo of weight was added. So, yeah. It’s a long story, but this is was what happened. Many come and told me, especially personal gym trainers that my weight lost is not ideal and I could put my body into shock because of the drastic weight lost. But, again I’m not constantly tired, hungry or even fatigued.
Blue , do what ever is going to Make you happy if you end up losing weight faster than the average person then good for you , the goal is to be happy with who you are and if you need to lose weight to be happy then do so , don’t let a personal trainer try to break you down because your exercising everyday screw them this is your life you do what’s best for you
yes blue you are right you can lose weight just doing cardio but you need to change style of the cadio and add another excersise in if you do constant cardi the body stops working so you probably are right in what you say. But if you lost weight as long as you feel good that's all that matters. That's why I have added a shake in my diet so it goes balance and help not put it back on, I don't do too much cardi I stick to what I do everyday but with other training Good luck and I agree with you
Yes, shakes are low carb and low calorie... that’s WHY they work! Lol. 😂 They also work because you’re having a thick liquid instead of solid food, so your stomach naturally shrinks only having 1 solid food meal a day. Don’t just get the “protein shake powder” or already made shakes like “premium” at Costco. Get actual MEAL REPLACEMENT shakes that have your day’s nutrients in them - a real shake meal, not just a protein shake.
This video don't make sense bro, you still ate one meal a day?the real test would be only protein shakes, then I guarantee the results would be much more extreme. If I want to get ripped then protein shakes only for 7 days and that's it.
i watch the video but my english is not that good soo its worked or not?because i planing to buy a phd diet loss shake because i want to lose weight but i cant go to gym because of the virus and i havent got too much time to go......im 173 cm and 92 kg.
Yes it worked but without really teaching anything about nutrition. Porition control, the types of food to eat etc. It may help solve a quick problem like have excess body fat but not the long term problem of dietary habits.
@@Gordongreenhorn thank you the fast answer :) i was before go to gym and watch my diet i was have an online coach i lost 10 kg but i didnt gain muscle and i finished it ...now i have the jojo effect and 71 kg go up to 92..........
@@Gordongreenhorn i tried but i get burned about the eating.......go home cooking eat sleep only,i was have no time for myself the 10 kg loss was motivating but i just litteraly work exercise cook eat sleep at half year.....thats why i wanna try this weight loss because for me i dont have time im not that lucky guy whos have a good job.
You mentioned that body composition didn’t change much. Do you think that was due to the reduced / lack of training as lockdown was still in place at the start? Or the diet itself?
It was a shame the 1st section about weight loss didn't explain what the half stone weight loss was - body fat vs muscle. Body composition point seems to have been subjective rather than an analysis?
And that's, sort of, where most people live, isn't it? Weight is merely a stat to help the visual change they seek. I'd doubt muscle mass was lost based on the high protein intake.
Problem solved about forgetting the shakes Heaps of discounts chemists sell One Serve shakes, as do many nutrition shops. Forget it, go and buy one 💁♂️£2 ain’t the end of the world
very well appreciated your 30 day challenge very informative. you need carbs they are important you should stop all white stuff I don't do as the packet says as I don't beleive a shake will keep weight off unless you don't eat. I have to eat at least a meal a day and I only feel these shakes only work if you naturally have a good duet and the calories is then natural so you don't need to check. I am going to check after 2 months of this journey to see if things have changed. But as female beacsue our homeowners we need to stay off the shake and wat more if you get my drift we get cravings like mad I know I do. So the shake my make things a bit too much at that point. I'm taking vitamins I just skip the small meal which is nit needed when going gym on heavy stomach that can be bad I've noticed that doing cardio due to my diet I feel I've gona a lot stronger my bones looks heavier were in the areas they looked fragile. so a bit of both in terms of activity and eat well. Thank you great video
Dam I've only just found your channel, loved it and subscribed only to find out you last posted 11 months ago. Are you going to create some more content soon? Fingers crossed you do :-)
Can you offer any advice on using water or milk with protein shakes? I'm currently using skim milk and they taste really good but might have to try water if there are potentially greater benefits? Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers.
Jonny is talking nonsense. Have either, just be cautious with the total amount of calories you are consuming. It's unlikely the difference will mean a slowly or haulting of weight/fat loss
Good video man 🏴 I'm currently doing a similar thing to kick start and get rid of my covid-weight. Then drop to one shake and have two meals while trying out new recipes (healthy) My issue is my relationship with food, particularly sweets, and the shakes really do help with that side. I lost weight 5 years ago kept it off for 3 but gain half of it over my last 2 years of uni. So I think short term this is good to see results to encourage a lifestyle change and it's an easy way to break away from bad food choices but you should educate yourself along the way, so that one main meal should be you trying out new things to build on for when the month is over
My question is how much protein needs to be in the shake? I ask because I am thinking of doing this for 2 weeks to kick start diet. I weigh 185 but I am very active. I lift weights/ Hit for about 2 hours a day as well as sauna for 40min. This is my heaviest because I was dealing with a sick family member cause me to not watch food. I usually live on a Mediterranean diet.
What if I personalized the amount of powder per shake and the number of shakes in a day according to my nutritional needs? Rather than a diet, I'm interested to see if I can make meal replacement shakes a permanent part of my diet for the convenience. If anyone has tips on this let me know :)
Thanks for this video. Doesn't sound worth it to me. I can lose six pounds a month with a less restrictive way of eating. Ofcourse that's with walking.
@@Gordongreenhorn hi mate, Huel user here, I agree they don't taste great. I switched to The Protein Works (extreme diet meal substitute, red label) and man... It's another world!
I don't believe you actually did it. Something like this takes more than 3 videos and you don't even hop on a scale to show your results. I'm calling manure.
Thanks for a really thorough review of the concept rather than particular product. Hopefully you won’t have the option to explore this, but I wondered if you had done this experiment during full lockdown how much of an impact the lack of variety would have had on your mental well-being. Ie for me the initial 12 weeks with the lack of external stimulus of working from home and the missing of office banter, gym (still not risked it yet) etc meant meals became even more of a marker of the passing of time.
I think we use many different things that help distract us from ourselves and our thoughts. Exercising, working, socialising, eating. The lockdown has uncovered a lot of people that weren’t dealing with certain things in their lives. Variety for me wasn’t too much of an issue. I’ve still got a bodybuilders mentality at times like this were I just get on with it. I must admit I was definitely eating more at the start of lockdown and I managed to get over it once everything seemed to settle into a new routine.
My friend you talking 2 much you need to have a better way to get viewers on you channel, start the diet and lets see how you doing thats what we need to see
I have one question about this, can I only have the two milkshakes, 1 in the morning and 1 in the middle of the day? Or do I need a meal? Also what kind of powder was it called or what is the brand
He probably used Huel their quite expensive but vegan. Myprotein are the cheapest about , they do meal replacements which are high in protein www.myprotein.com/referrals.list?applyCode=GARRY-R17R
Fantastic videos and advice I'm giving this a go from today. I had an injury and couldn't do any cardio for six weeks. I have been over eating for those six weeks. I'm going to use this as a kick start then back on to a healthy eating plan 👍
this is literally the "slim fast diet" no ill will intended...js. at least you're smart enough to realize, this isn't the healthiest way to go. cheers m8.
I'm not sure we could call it unhealthy nor that it isn't effective. It will work for those who need to lower their weight for major health reasons (morbidly obese). I think this didn't work for me because of the fast I know how to diet. How to fit around what I like and how to monitor it. I think those who want to lose weight should focus on those two things rather than a shake diet.
@@Gordongreenhorn for sure. i wouldn't argue with that. actually now that you mentioned it, i think those premixed protein shakes are a pretty big part of the recovery protocol from like lap band surgery or whatever. i do protein shakes on a fairly regular basis...i don't have a real big appetite and it's just easier to hit my protein with those. the pre-made ones are always kinda funky tho. cheers m8.
What a useless video. But I really liked the can of coke zero in my face throughout the video as I always mix my protein with coke zero. atleast now I know I know I am on the right track 👍
90% of us are hear to see if it helps you lose weight, but all you're talking about is the convenience xD

Results so far are wildly encouraging:
Starting weight: 74.3kg
Current weight: 72.6 kg
Disclaimers:
1) NUTRITION: I use low sugar whey isolate (1g of carbs per scoop), take magnesium, calcium, omega 3, collagen, coenzyme Q10 and multivitamin supplements, to prevent malnutrition and sports injuries during this challenge. I also add some Himalayan salt to my shakes, to help replace sodium lost during exercise. I consider adding fibre supplement to it from next week.
2) EXERCISE. I’m completing HIIT Max challenge available on UA-cam by Body Rock, which I’d recommend for anyone who is not new to exercise and is craving a personal trainer experience without a massive spend. You will find easier challenges also by them if you’re new to this form of intense effort, along with advice on correct form to prevent injuries. I do this in the gym daily, near my feeding window of 6-8 hours.

I will post weekly updates for the next 8 weeks, after which time I will replace one shake with a healthy salad with some seafood or another rich source of protein, and after a month, I’ll replace the 2nd shake with healthy dinner (lean meat/fish + steamed green veg in low carb dressing).

I lift weights/ Hit for about 2 hours a day as well as sauna for 40min. This is my heaviest because I was dealing with a sick family member cause me to not watch food. I usually live on a Mediterranean diet.
Such high quality production and content! Great video, looks good sounds good you’re charming love it all
Thanks so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
What if I personalized the amount of powder per shake and the number of shakes in a day according to my nutritional needs? Rather than a diet, I'm interested to see if I can make meal replacement shakes a permanent part of my diet for the convenience. If anyone has tips on this let me know :)
I'm following due to lock down my gym has closed and I feel like I'm not working out as much as I would usually to see if this works
hi, how many grams of protein should i be consuming as a shake per meal?
Get a diet shake then use two scoops per shake
Around 30grams per shake
Can I build muscle of this diet?
I don't see why not.
Dude what up with that Coke, that Coke is pure garbage
How much did you loose if you don’t mind me asking
Just over 4kg.
What if U had cut the carbs?
I would've perhaps eaten fewer calories
Why do you keep saying first and foremost?? I don’t think you know what that means.
Does it upset you?
Actually, it probably does, given your need to comment.
Please accept my sincerest apologies x
I just don’t know which one is actually first and which one is actually for most. It was confusing.
Better with milk byfar
Was any exercise like cardio done during the 6lbs loss or was this strictly the diet?
Strictly diet.
Thanks for this video. Doesn't sound worth it to me. I can lose six pounds a month with a less restrictive way of eating. Ofcourse that's with walking.
Great video Gordon. Can you tell us which product you used? (Not too much people read comments 🤣)
milosnikolic4 hahaha yes. It was Huel. I wouldn’t recommend it though.
@@Gordongreenhorn hi mate, Huel user here, I agree they don't taste great. I switched to The Protein Works (extreme diet meal substitute, red label) and man... It's another world!
i will try myprotein brand now😅 i just got it meal replacement shakes
You need to upload agaaaain
How many calories were each shake?
About 500 I think.
Have you lost any muscles ?? I mean all the weight loss was fat only
I don't believe you actually did it. Something like this takes more than 3 videos and you don't even hop on a scale to show your results. I'm calling manure.
Bro
Make more content 🖖🖖
Thanks for a really thorough review of the concept rather than particular product. Hopefully you won’t have the option to explore this, but I wondered if you had done this experiment during full lockdown how much of an impact the lack of variety would have had on your mental well-being. Ie for me the initial 12 weeks with the lack of external stimulus of working from home and the missing of office banter, gym (still not risked it yet) etc meant meals became even more of a marker of the passing of time.
I think we use many different things that help distract us from ourselves and our thoughts. Exercising, working, socialising, eating. The lockdown has uncovered a lot of people that weren’t dealing with certain things in their lives.
Variety for me wasn’t too much of an issue. I’ve still got a bodybuilders mentality at times like this were I just get on with it. I must admit I was definitely eating more at the start of lockdown and I managed to get over it once everything seemed to settle into a new routine.
Mostly make sure its got good protein
I just bought a ton of the Euqate protein shakes. I hope they aren’t junk! Haha. I wish you showed the product. Oh well, still good stuff.
My friend you talking 2 much you need to have a better way to get viewers on you channel, start the diet and lets see how you doing thats what we need to see
Why is there a coke teasing meeeee??!!!😫
Lol. Coke Zero for clarity.
I have one question about this, can I only have the two milkshakes, 1 in the morning and 1 in the middle of the day? Or do I need a meal? Also what kind of powder was it called or what is the brand
He probably used Huel their quite expensive but vegan.
Myprotein are the cheapest about , they do meal replacements which are high in protein

How was your bowel movements and flautence!
New subscriber here thanks
Fine tbh. No issues to report. Just pretty boring.
Stick with whey isolate, concentrate makes me gassy af.
Fantastic videos and advice I'm giving this a go from today. I had an injury and couldn't do any cardio for six weeks. I have been over eating for those six weeks. I'm going to use this as a kick start then back on to a healthy eating plan 👍
How's it going now?
How’s it going now?
Top this with keto and easily you can have diet boom
I'm not sure I would follow a Ketogenic diet anytime soon
Good video and congrats on 30 days! but you needed to count the calories from your one meal, you might of ate too much.
Agreed and this I go over in the review.
this is literally the "slim fast diet" no ill will intended...js. at least you're smart enough to realize, this isn't the healthiest way to go. cheers m8.
I'm not sure we could call it unhealthy nor that it isn't effective.
It will work for those who need to lower their weight for major health reasons (morbidly obese).
I think this didn't work for me because of the fast I know how to diet. How to fit around what I like and how to monitor it. I think those who want to lose weight should focus on those two things rather than a shake diet.
@@Gordongreenhorn for sure. i wouldn't argue with that. actually now that you mentioned it, i think those premixed protein shakes are a pretty big part of the recovery protocol from like lap band surgery or whatever. i do protein shakes on a fairly regular basis...i don't have a real big appetite and it's just easier to hit my protein with those. the pre-made ones are always kinda funky tho. cheers m8.
What a useless video. But I really liked the can of coke zero in my face throughout the video as I always mix my protein with coke zero. atleast now I know I know I am on the right track 👍
product placement?
