I've used different product shakes (Slim Fast, Herbalife, and some different ones from the health food store) but honestly, I never felt as full as what Dr. Gates' shakes make me feel! I, too, am easily un-motivated if I don't see or feel results. I was very surprised when I drank these shakes. I, in fact, like making mine into pudding by using only 4 ounces of water, because they are really good that way.

HTH and Best Wishes!!

I just wish I could find something to make you just lose it all at once. My husband makes fun of me all the time. I want to diet one day and do a little exercise and wake up skinny the next day. My weight has always been a roller coaster ride so if I gain like 1/2 a lb. I get discouraged. I can't help but weigh myself. I'm addicted to the scale. I admit I have a problem. I need to know how much I have to exercise and how much I can eat in order to still lose weight. I just want to lose this weight so bad. I motivated my family to lose weight the last time and now I gained it back in my last two pregnancies and I feel like I have let everybody down by gaining it back. I'm sure they don't feel this way but it is just so hard, especially when I see them all so much smaller now and I'm the "heavy"one. One of my cousins used to weigh like 350 lbs. and is now a size 6 and my sister went from a sz. 24 to a size 4 b/c I motivated them and now I can't seem to get my motivation back good enough to really get into it.

I can't find any onfo about the shakes on the ordering site. Does anybody know the ingredients and nutritional info- like calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc?

Thanks!!!!

Do you add any fruit or anything to your shake?

I usually added 1/2 a banana and about 5-6 frozen strawberries and a few almonds (the shaved ones) for even more protein.
HTH!!

These shakes are meal replacements or snacks?
