Diet shakes may
be useful for jump-starting weight loss. As a reminder, this may not be
regarded as your ultimate and sole diet program, but may only be considered as
meal supplements to control daily excessive caloric intake yet still meet the
basic mineral and nutritional needs of the body.
If you think
you could live on diet shakes for the rest of your life then you are living a
dangerous lifestyle. They may be helpful in certain ways:
· when you lack
the time or motivation to shop for and prepare balanced meals
· if you are
consistently missing a certain meal, such as breakfast
· if there is a
need for extra protein, mineral supplements in the body
· if your goal is
to build muscles (Shakes can give your body a good dose of protein but with a
much lower amount of calories.)
· if you need a liquid diet due to dental issues,
surgery
The ultimate
goal should still be to lose weight in a healthy manner. And the key is a
balance with food intake, habits and exercise.
