I weighed 208, now weigh 183. This took about 4-5 months, with no exercise, outside of walking up stairs at work instead of elevator (I have a bad knee). This is EXACTLY how it worked for me. Really don't need any opinions, thanks. Just sharing.
Breakfast: One Jimmy Dean Brand, Delights- Turkey sausage, egg white, and cheese on and english muffin 250 calories,
plus two cups of coffee during my commute.
Midmorning snack: banana or hot beverage (coffee, tea, NO SUGAR)
Lunch: Visalus protein shake with lo-fat milk. I add Hershey's UNSWEETENED cocoa powder to make it taste like a delicious
chocolate milkshake (NO ICE CREAM!) can enjoy an apple or orange, or another banana.
Mid afternoon snack - another banana, or hot beverage or better- handful of nuts (think Mediterranean diet here)
Supper WHATEVER I WANT! lasagna, salmon, eat a lot of grilled chicken, steak, pork tenderloin, boneless chops, etc
plus potato, veggies, small piece of bread, or roll. Really no dessert, just a cup of 100 cal Greek yogurt, or the new
Zero calorie greek yogurt made by Dannon. maybe a few more nuts..
That's it. been doing this 15 months now, weigh 183 and holding...like Big Green Egg Boston Butt cooking, low and slow..
I'm pretty sure its the sugar being taken out of the diet. Also, I did NOT give up a beer or glass of wine in the evening..
NOTE: The protein shake is specific to VISALUS company: its a proprietary formulation, costs me two dollars a day ($56 dollars sent to my house). I cannot recommend any other protein shake because in this study of one person, its what works.
Two dollars a day, plus some fruit, not a big deal, and the Jimmy Deans in the morning I find delicious. Put some Cholla hot sauce on them, umm, delicious.
On the weekend I make a French omelet with toast and occasionally bacon.

I'll bet $56 dollars that the reduced sugar, climbing stairs, and decreased daily caloric intake had more to do with your awesome results than the shake.
Losing some weight is one of the best things a person can do for their health. And you showed that you don't have to deprive yourself to do that.
Posting on a discussion forum and saying you don't want opinions... good luck with that.
Congratulations on the weight loss. I'm sure you feel much better.
For myself, I would skip all gimmicky weight loss products such as shakes.
How much sugar were you previously eating!?!?

Proud and vocal Vegan. I don't see why an animal should lose their life, just so you can have a snack.
In a country such as this, where there are fruits, grains, and nuts in abundance, how can one think that he must eat the flesh of dead animals?
Heathly lifestyle is very important.

This made me laugh ^^. Losing weight is difficult, especially when food is a guy's hobby.
