BEST MEAL REPLACEMENT FOR WEIGHT LOSS: Ample
While a 400-calorie shake may not sound great for weight loss, that can still easily count as a meal in a diet with calories as low as 1,200 per day, and most importantly I’ve found it’s much better at satiating hunger and keeping you full until your next meal than their lower calorie competitors.

I love that you cite your information!! A lot of times there are youtubers who are hidden sponsors that we don't even know what to believe anymore. Subscribing now 🙌
this video helped me out so much! cheers to you man keep up the good work! :)
Great fast info. Thank you. Food for thought!
Started Huel a few days ago, I felt a noticable increase in energy as I used to skip breakfast most days, one shake with 2 scoops in the morning and It's really helped me feel much better.
Thanks so much for getting to the point. First health related video I have ever seen without a stupid intro and unnecessary commentary. Props!
😂 exactly
You just earned a subscriber! Loved this!
Thanks Elizabeth! - Nick
i love you
Thanks for the video great info...
this video helped me out so much!
Oh! Loved this!
thanks for the weight loss recommendations. I want to try ample, but it's very expensive for the vegan version. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I appreciate this review.
thank you so much well done video 👌
Glad you liked it Candy!
Natures Bounty is my absolute favorite! I blend it with almond milk, half a frozen banana, and ice to make it like a shake consistency. In a hurry I use a blender bottle and just the protein mix and almond milk. The vanilla tastes like cake batter. The chocolate is my favorite, but it’s harder to find.
Creep
When I've used soylent I found it was hard to drink however the small scoop would last me from breakfast to supper. I ended up baking with it to make pumpkin bread to eat in the morning to help me get going.
So to save money, time, drink a multivitamin a day, put some oil, fiber, chia seeds, flaxseeds to a regular protein powder?
Have you heard of the Vivri shake? Is there anyway you could give your opinion on it? Please 😊
Great video. I'm 42y 6'0ft 200lbs. Looking for weight to be around 185-175. I box 4 days per week, 2 fitness boxing days, 2 authentic boxing days. What's the best suggestion? Leaning towards Ample.
You should try out Shanga. Really delicious meal replacements.
very very informative, thank you! 52 here just looking for a product with many nutrients and health benefitting vitamins and minerals . lower calories and sugar but with flavor. The older I get my appetite waned, so just want something really nutritious if not hungry enough for a meal.
What do you think of Orgain meal replacement powder? I was going to purchase Orgain, until I read more than a few reviews mentioning metal shards found in the powder.
What do u think about ka'chava
Is there a danger/difference between taking Meal replacement vs Athletic Greens? I already take athletic greens.
How would you rate Kachava?
Can you review Purition it's a UK 100% natural shake
Hey, I am unable to find idealshake, do you know if they are out of business?
Is ideal shake not available anymore? Where can I buy it?
what's the best meal replacements for constipation and traumatic brain injury?
This is actually one of the best channel on products reviews there is on youtube
That means a lot to hear, Lee, thanks a ton for taking the time to comment! - Nick
guess its nice to live in europe where a "weight loss shake" has to meet certain criteria (micros and macros) so really if you live in the eu just take the one you like the best
What do you think of the Women’s Best meal replacement shakes? (Shape body shake)
How do you feel about Ka'chava?
can you mix protein powders?
thank you
What's the cheapest?
Hi! Would it be possible to extend the discount code for idealshape? I really want to try it out after listening to your review!
Theyre currently having a 45% off sale right now
Is there any one of them suppress the appetite or not.
Ka chava trumps all of these and for us lactose intolerant, it is a winner!
holy shit, this video was so good
I wish I just saw some "meal replacement for people that just want to eat healthy and save time"
I use Huel myself! - Nick
@@Barbend Ah amazing ! Thanks a lot for your answer ! I was considering Huel too, gonna buy that mate 👌
My doctor recommended this system [Go here=== *2WeightLossFast. Com* ]to me. I was looking to lose a significant amount of weight, and needed a plan. This diet book has done miracles for me and my husband! We follow the plan and both lost over 20 pounds in the first month. This is a well written book that will give you the tools you need to start eating healthier and regain control of your metabolism. I can't say enough good things about this book and the diet. This was a life changer for us!?
The one I just decided to try, ends up being the absolute last one in this list... That's giving me a whole lot of confidence...
(I'm talking about Huel)
That's the only one I take every day! Hope you like it - Nick
Is it good??
@@josecorrea6986
Well, I had it with just water... Wasn't great, but wasn't terrible.
I could drink it if necessary.
My nephew tried it and wanted more of it.
I had a Shakeology recipe that I liked and I use that same recipe (cup of ice, cup of almond milk, spoonful of peanut butter and a scoop, blend really well) for the chocolate, and it tastes pretty good. Not "oh yeah, I'm craving this often" good, like I did with Shakeology, but I try to have it every few nights and I don't have to feel guilty about it.
Not tried the vanilla yet.
What about bōku?
purely inspired is what i use
where to purchse queal
Ample outrageously expensive and he is biased he gets the products free for good reviews
Any chance for an updated coupon code for the idealshape?? 🙏
BARBEND15 isn't working? - Nick
@@Barbend says expired May 31 2019 :(
@@rockyg3377 Hmm will look into it! Barbend45 might work but unlikely.. - Nick
I am a diabetic so I think lean shake or more importantly 310 Shake are the best options for me. I know what my doctor wants me to control and those supplements look to be the best options for that.
Hi Reginald Brown how r u doing with 310 shacks pls let me know if u change it still let me know how u doing with that thanks
@@ildafernamdez3984 I never started taking it.
Have you heard of Kachava, and thoughts?
I have 2 bags and am enjoying. They gave me a discount code I believe if you wanna try out?
Have you done Keto Chow?
I can’t find the ideal shake
Ah, i was hoping you would have a category for budget shakes. Like 450 dollars a month for soylent, over 600 a month for ample (assuming a 2000 calorie diet) per person is a big ask to put in the budget. Are there cheaper options that are still nutritious enough to be every meal if someone wants to?
You shouldn't have meal replacements for EVERY meal. That said, I take Huel every day, it's pretty darn cheap, I think it's under $2 for 500 calories. - Nick
BarBend
Thanks, looks like huel comes out to about 250 per month, big improvement. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question.
Is it unhealthy to have a quality meal replacement for every meal?
Not that i'd replace every meal, but I'd like to not have to worry about how many meals i am replacing if that's healthy to do.
Can i prepare the product de day beferore?
Depends on the product. Ample is great mixed ahead of time, sometimes the flavors change a bit in the other products though. You can just ask the companies. - Nick
My favorite is Natureade Total Soy Weight Loss Shakes
stephen geraci did you lose weight with it? I’ve just started consuming naturade
future vid huel vs kachava? :)
That’s the video I was looking for
Can you review fnx restart ?
Hmm I don't think that one is quite popular enough yet, but it's an interesting product! - Nick
How about herbalife
Is this for the meal for breakfast lunch and dinner? Or just one of the meals for the day?
It's up to you.
I like to have one for breakfast, one for lunch then a "real" dinner
Ka'Chava say 70 superfoods what do the other claim ?
What about kachava?
Any "Ready To Go" full meals. Not in a powdered form?
*yes but most are super expensive*
Yes, it's like emergency food or similar to military rasions or mre I believe they are called? Think protein bars, only with all needed nutrients packed in to one. And yes, if you do find it. It is quite expensive and ment for survival or emergency only I believe?
@@frankcastle13
No, "ready to eat" versions of these products are not "emergency" or "survival" foods.
They're merely about more convenience.
More of a "have them on hand so if you don't have time to make the shake and clean up, grab a bottle and drink on the go." Kind of deal
@@mr.pariah8255 I believe the question was "If there is a non powder, ready to eat all in one." And I think my answer suits is adequate?
Not a single mention of price :/
So im moving to a new place that has no kitchen can i live of protein bars and shakes and vitamins?
robseyes35 yeah. You’ll just have to fight the boredom of eating the same stuff. Multivitamin are a scam you don’t need them if you’re using any of these products.
Hey man, I'm just a college student who's really crunched on time and money. I just want a shake for dinner if I get hungry towards the night, and that's about it. If you see this comment. Could you recommend a shake for just general use without any intentions of weight loss, weight gain, athletic activities, or anything else?
Big fan of Huel for that purpose. Not too high or low in carbs, it's got all the nutrients, it's cheap and it has Omega-3s too. I drink it a lot! - Nick
@@Barbend Thank you so much!
Love huel!!! I’m about to try idealshake as well to lose a little bit of weight and when I’ve finished I’ll go back to huel to help maintain
Soylent 100 meals for 100$ new bucket format. Im just a dude that tried soylennt when they first started and thought it was cool.
People just finding this video should know that Ample doesn't sell their "Ample K" product anymore, and most of their other products are out of stock. I sat on a waiting list for 5 months before I just gave up and got a refund. It's so disappointing because their products are amazing but they don't have stock, and after emailing customer service they can't give a straight answer as to when their products will be back in stock.
I tried 310 and zero weight loss just started idealshapes idealshakes and love the taste better got 2 month supply and will see what happens along with excrise
how is it
any updates baby girl? what flavor did you try
How was it
a 2 month supply? For me I would want the shakes to cover 2 of my meals, so 330 cal per shake. So when I did the math, the bundle with 4 tubs would only cover 20 days. I would need to buy the bundle 3 times. is that what you did?
What about garden of life for weight loss
Do you do exercise after a meal replacement like a protein shake or can I just eat it at lunch and go back to work
I usually have a protein shake after I workout to fuel my muscles or will have one as a meal replacement
Lewis_Jones999 It is a food replacement meal, meaning you just replace powder with regular food. It is not meant you have to exercise, and not ment for it either I think. You obviously can find replacement meals that are suitable for that as well. Just read the description of what it is ment for. I have personally been on replacement meals for years and can really recommend it. Just find what suits your needs and taste the best :)
@@lauras3871 thats now how muscles work, it dosnt matter when u have a protein shake on a workout day ... muscles dont go " ooo theres the protein nom nom nom " the body needs a constant steady flow of food intake
@@girlsdrinkfeck ok. That's great. I was just replying to Lewis and saying that is when I drink my protein shakes. Why don't you just reply to the question that is being asked?
@@girlsdrinkfeck and actually you're insulin sensitive after your workout, and your body needs protein to repair the muscle damage you just did during the workout. However, sugar is needed to replenish your glycogen (sugar) storage you depleted during your workout. That's what your body uses to fuel your workout. Then your body takes the protein you ingest with that sugar to start building those muscles you tore down to make them stronger (or bigger). So you're only half right.
I've been eyeing the Huel meal replacement shakes on amazon for a few days now. I'm trying to steer away from the tv dinners and soda at work as I feel it starting to take a toll on my body. Would Huel be a good meal replacement for lunch every day? Not really looking to lose weight, just to eat less and more healthy. Thanks!
I just started Huel yesterday and I really like it. It's far cheaper on Huel.com vs Amazon. You can go on Reddit and get a $10 off coupon
Timenim were you paid to post that or were you sincere? Lol
@@timenim2284 huel website does amazon payments too so its easy, well does in the UK anyway since its a british brand
Ajsbored buy on eBay not their website or amazon, way cheaper
I'm surprised this video hasn't been flagged as sexists and offensive by UA-cam. Algo do not like videos that differentiate women and men. Great video. Learned something
What about Soylent? seems to be the only one actually taking it seriously as MEAL replacement, not as as something for sport life styles.
310 is good its just too low calorie so it wouldnt fill me up
Ample is 10$ per shake/meal on Amazon. Whhhaaaaat?
Soylent ?
What about Herbalife? Any thoughts?
MLMs suck
I dont understand how something with only 110 calories is considered a meal replacement who the hell can do anything on 110 calories??
Ikr! even the ones with 200calories seem iffy to me. my meal replacement needs like 400 calories or it ain't worth it
@@nicholasbrassard3512 sometimes I drink a protein shake for breakfast but I add extra calories with fruit yogurt and milk.
For people losing weight for weightloss surgery doctors will legit tell you to avoid anything over 200 calroies per meal and after surgery you cant eat much either
@@nkoistrash that makes sense
is true to fit not good for loosing weight ?
I just want something to make me feel full
I need energy, im an adult that consumes way too much suger products, late meals, takeout, couch potato, out of shape. Even at work low energy.
Benny Martinez sounds exactly like myself
@@tiffanyserrano9068 I can eat extremely healthy, it just doesn't taste good. So i eat out lol
I'm the same way. I work 60 to 65 hours a week so even if I wanted to I dont have time to meal prep and hit the gym so I eat out a lot. I'm thinking about trying this for every meal of the day
Just fuckin lift weights
What about juice plus shakes?
Dear god I thought those meal replacements were gonna fall lol
Ample is so expensive :(
I agree. Lots of pushing to something that seems way beyond the “best product” pricing. $8-9 a bottle. Geez.
I’m just going to eat a real meal for all those calories ample has . Meal replacement should be to cut calories and keep you full.
Does this guy gets paid by these companies?
He like so many different meal replacement that I am wondering if he actually eats solid foods. I've been doing huel for a while and I am enjoying the new bottled version that they have made.
But what about taste
He ignored that for sure. As huel is famously bad tasting and the worst I've personally ever tried.
@@philipae27 maybe for your tastebuds ,huel tastes like actual food not some american made crap full of chemicals
i am trying to gain weight
What about Herbalife shakes ?
Best place to purchase Ample?
At their site, it's not available in stores just now - just Google "Ample Meal" - Nick
@@Barbend I see that. I ordered from the site but I didn't see an option to make a one time purchase. So it automatically opts you in into a recurring membership it can be cancelled but I wasn't too excited to start off like that. I've tried it twice but it was the vegan version of it that I purchased off Amazon, didn't like the taste too well, which is why I ordered the original 600 calories from the site. Pretty steep in price, about 7 a pop, but considering I spend twice the amount of money on junk food I suppose I can compromise for now and if I don't like it or don't see it working out for me I could cancel the recurring membership.
Here: www.amplemeal.com/products/ample Above the headings "meal size" "pack size" "deliver every" there's a drop down button where it says "Subscription (10% savings!)". Just click that and you can order a one off purchase instead of saving. To be honest, I think regular Ample tastes a lot better than the Vegan one. - Nick
@@Barbend Thanks
Thought you were the boot guy!?
Why is it all bland sounding liquid stuff? Can't they make a balanced instant rice dish?
I bought huel savoury and because I needed it for the minimum order quantity I also added huel black.
Huel savoury (green curry) actually tastes okay. But the mouth feel is horrible.
I can see myself surviving on that in times where I'm too lazy to cook. Better than going out.
Huel black tastes okay. But it makes no sense to me as food. I'm just utterly confounded by it.
To me it seems to re-enforce all the terrible bad habits that get so many people in trouble. (Nothing sweet or drinkable is usually acceptable for anything but guilty pleasures)
The savoury tomato huel has better mouth feel but the taste is less interesting. But taste is easy to fix.
Any reason why Herbalife isn’t included in this? Looking for a comparison video.
We're not super jazzed about reviewing MLMs - Nick
im sorry dude im out when you mention the sponsored one so reasonable comparisons is out the door when you are paid to sell it. and the price is 6-7 dollars a shake. Do you think we are rich?
What about Shakeology, Thrive, or Herbal Life??
Where is your accent from?
Australia, but I spent most of my adulthood overseas so my accent's a bit messed up. - Nick
@@Barbend ahh ok. Because i am south african . It is similar to ours
@@SuperKiko112 Yeah it's closer to yours than American.
Can you live off of shakes without any solid foods?
@@myelim cool thanks
Yes, a few years back when JimmyJoy was still names Joylent and when it was actually good. I lived on it almost entirely for almost 2 years with just a few real food meals now and then. But due to that I'm not living in EU anymore, I can't afford to import those types of products anymore as the costum fees are way too high. And JimmyJoy is something I can't recommend as they have been increasingly worsh. Go with Huel or another brand is my advice. Ps. If you truly consider to live on "powder" My advice is to start slowly and replace one or two meals for the first month. So tha your body has time to get used to it.
Great commercial keep up the good work
Ample commercial
Nic h
If you are really looking for the best one. It has to be for sure the kachava. Has the most ingredients an they 100 percent organic. Nothing in this review come close to it
Which ones are vegan though?
Not ample because it has whey
Huel is and my protein has vegan options
Huel have vegan options.
@@frankcastle13 im sure huel is all vegan
SlimFast?
YouYouYou !
Slimfast is hella processed and not good for you
american crap, avoid anything from that cuntry
Worst part about huelnis it has flax seed. Sucks if your a guy who values his testosterone.
