Take meal replacements or not? Questions that are asked are usually immediately pushed away by the proponents of these products. Also logical, because if someone sees this as the solution for his / her excess weight, then you cannot escape to agree with what is said about intake of these products. Strictly speaking, it is also true what they say. Enough substances are added to let you get all the vitamins. But that does not make it healthy to do, certainly not when it concerns a longer period. Of course it is if you want to lose a few pounds quickly and get back to your normal eating habits within the foreseeable future, but they are not a miracle cure if you are considerably overweight. A structural solution always lies in changing your eating and living pattern (recognizing, acknowledging and acting) and not just to lose a few kilos, because then they are just as fast again. Practice has shown that there is a good chance that you will become heavier.
