I am not much of a chocolate person, and I have been struggling with hunger, so I decided to try these shakes. I looked at the Slim Fast Optima shakes after I saw these on the web site. Slim Fast Optima Shakes have 10 grams of protein each compared to 35 grams in these, LIKE, WHOA! The calories in these Vanilla shakes were higher, 250 compared to 180 in the Slim Fast in my cupboard, but I wanted to definitely give them a try just because of the protein alone.

The taste was really good. I tried the first one in a water bottle, and it was a little clumpy. Once I switched to a larger cup with a cover they shook up really well and the taste was great. (A blender would work fine, too, but not necessary). I have an old GNC cup for shakes and I started carrying that with me with a shake packet inside it and I just would fill it up with water from wherever I was. No fast food for me! It was really convenient.

As for hunger, 100% amazing fullness. I really couldn't think about eating for 3-4 hours after drinking one of these shakes. The Slim Fast ones last me an hour or so, but these did the trick for sure. These are definitely worth the money.

If they're as thick as the chocolate ones, then I can see how you stay full! Definitely a hunger-satisfying shake!

Someone please tell me which is the very best product to use for the "after 7:00 p.m. major munchies". The past few days have been killers for me! I'm not hungry, but my body tells me it wants something. During the day I have been relying on the South Beach frozen breakfasts and dinners. I never get hungry during the day, it's just the evenings that my body starts screaming. HELP!

I've heard others say they use the Cell Press. Personally, the Chocolate Shake (or Vanilla, Strawberry) gets me very, very full. I've used the shake about 6:00 and I'm seriously good to go until the next morning. It's THAT thick!

Thanks for the Kudos, babycakes59! I honestly think my stomach is shrinking LOL!! I don't eat NEAR as much as I used to!

Are the protein shakes like the same thing you would find at wal-mart? I keep hearing people say how they feel full and I wanna try it. I'm a little skeptical of everything I hear so I want to see what people with real results have to say. I still haven't even decided on a product from here to get. I've been on here for a while now but I see mixed reviews for everything. I just want to know that I'm getting a good product that I can lose weight on fast. I get un-motivated easily. Why can't they make a product so we can drop at least 20 lbs. a day?!LOL:tounge2
