Texture Of Meal Replacement Drinks. Weight Loss
Here's the thing I hate eggs and the texture of them and above all smell. It makes me throw up actually. I wish I were kidding about that. That usually occurs if I see them being whipped in a bowl. I know it's unusual but sadly that's my dilemma.
I have to lose weight as I'm overweight like there's no tomorrow. I'm starting a GYM and sticking to it. The thing is meal replacement shakes would help me and I want to use the ones designed specifically for shedding pounds.
I've tried Slim Fast and a generic brand but here's what I notice. You can't help but taste the egg and feel its texture as you're drinking the ones that come in the cans you shake before drinking. The powders also have that kind of consistency to them and in my opinion have a bit of a burning aftertaste to them.
I was hoping someone here could recommend a drink a powder or maybe a solution of things I could whip up in a blender for weight loss purposes and replacing a meal such as Lunch or breakfast. Thanks.

Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

You should have a protein shake for a meal replacement since they make you feel fuller longer. I'd suggest optimum nutrition's whey isolate, it comes in a bunch of different flavors and doesn't have that egg texture. It's also between 110-130 calories per shake (depending on what flavor you get). I've been drinking these shakes for a couple months and even just having them as snacks when I get hungry instead of chips or crackers and I lost almost 15 pounds.

I am not sure why you are adament about choosing a meal replacement(which it sounds like you hate) instead of actual food. Most meal replacement drinks are higher in calories than a good nutritious breakfast! My advice is to eat a small portion of something that tastes great and is good for you! If you insist that it be drinkable then why not a smoothie made with some yogurt and real fruit with a little flaxseed added in? Yummy! Please remember you didn't gain weight overnight and you can't lose it overnight. You can really harm yourself if you are not careful. Starving and over exercising can cause a serious electrolyte imbalance which can actually be fatal.Seriously low potassium levels can lead to heart attack and death. Please be sensible when dieting. Small portions of good nutritious food are always your best choice. Try to imagine if there was a magic pill you could take and you would never be able to gain or lose weight again. You would have to be the weight you are for the rest of your life. You would have to accept yourself the way you are. It would sort of be a relief wouldn't it? Think about it. You don't need that pill to accept yourself as you are until you can become a fitter healthier you. Good luck on your road to fitness!
