To lose weight in a healthy way, you will not replace any meal with a shake

Powdered shakes are not alone: they come with cereal bars, ready-to-drink shakes and even vitamin supplements. Some brands went further: they included functional substances in the composition of their products and promise to increase energy, accelerate metabolism or fight free radicals. To complete the package – and ensure good results -, they are also teaching bit by bit how to include these products in the menu.
But, for now, forget the idea of using them from morning to night in an attempt to lose weight. “Exchanging all meals only for shakes makes you lose weight faster, but most of what is eliminated consists of water and muscle, not fat”, explains nutritionist Juliana Capatto, from the Filippo Pedrinola Endocrinology Clinic. And as no one can stand to go for a long time without chewing at lunch and dinner, when you go back to eating normally you run the risk of putting on weight all over again.
“The advantage of these products is that they are balanced, guaranteeing essential nutrients for the body, in addition to allowing greater control over calorie intake”, says nutrologist Mauro Fisberg. We know the exact caloric value of the shake or bar, and we also have a greater feeling of satiety, arriving at the next meal without being so hungry.
Let’s go?
At the beginning of the diet, the indication is to exchange a maximum of two meals for substitutes – one small (breakfast or snack) and another large (lunch or dinner). Were you worried if you’re going to stand without chewing anything? Relax! You can and should, especially at main meals, combine the shake with fruit, a green salad or a light soup, meeting the need and pleasure of eating something solid, salty and warm.
In the second stage, after burning those extra pounds, the products should only replace a small meal. But again, it’s not to be abused. Ideally, at this stage, you’ve already learned to eat correctly, at the right times and in a balanced way, leaving substitutes for the days when you don’t have time to eat calmly or need to leave the house without breakfast. .
“These products should work as weight loss adjuvants and, at the same time, as a tool to create healthy eating habits”, says nutritionist Vanderlí Marchiori, collaborator of Associação Paulista de Nutrição, who elaborated, in partnership with nutritionist Mônica Cristina Campos, the diet menu. It shows you the ideal meals to combine with shakes and bars, helping you to better control your appetite, learn to eat healthily and lose those extra pounds.
