Hi Sue,
Yes went and it Checked out for you and it’s fine! I try to have a drink for breakfast and one for lunch/dinner and then I have my main meal, when I’m hungry, Good Luck!

Hi Soraya, it’s a very simple step, I do mine this way. Into a jug I add 250 to 300 mls of Cold water ( I used chilled water ) open the sachet into the jug and I use a Hand held little mixer till the drink looks like a milkshake, then sit down and enjoy all the flavors, mines Chocolate!

Hi Jan. I can't give you a firm answer to that. You would need to ask your doctor. All I can say from my experience is that it was my doctor who put me on a different shake to replace a meal as I'm having difficulty losing weight. I have regulated BP, and my GP is aware of that condition and clearly did not come up with contra-indications. But I will add I only looked at changing to the Aldi brand as it's cheaper. I would have run it by her if I intended to change shakes.

Hi Sue,
You can use either Water Or milk, just make sure you take them straight from fridge to use,
Makes your drink nice and thick like a milk shake,then Enjoy!

Love all the flavours, can I buy a box of each flavour if wanted please

I avoid the bars, they didn't help me with the weight loss at all.
-My typical day starts with a coffee and i make a bowl of greek yogurt with fruit.
-snack (some nuts and a banana)
-lunch a shake
-snack (something full of protein)
-Dinner a shake.

I like to also like to add tuna,or boiled chicken breast, and try and keep a very simple quinoa salad in the fridge for the days i feel extra hungry.
quinoa salad is very simple and very filling.
ingredients:
QUINOA
TOMATOES
CHIVES
PARSLEY
CUCUMBER
LEMMON JUICE
SALT & PEPPER
chop it all very fine, like a tabouli season with lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper
And you have a salad that lasts up to 3 days in the fridge.

Carry some gum & mints your breath is a little oniony.

Goodluck, don't forget lots and lots of water.

The Shakes are made to have on there own as a total meal replacement the bars are for in between to help with that in between hunger time. Because your body’s changing and you are not used to this diet yet you will experience some unpleasant feelings but be sure they will go away here’s a site I love https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/why-healthy-eating-causes-that-uncomfortable-feeling/article22275762/?service=amp this should help :-) good luck and don’t give up this diet dose work iv lost 40kg with this diet plus healthy exercising. Hope I could help :-)))

Hi Linda, I blend one sachet in a bullet with 3-4 ice cubes along with 2 table spoons of Benefibre. The ice cubes makes the shake thick, almost like a (STARBUCKS FRAPPACCINO - CONSISTENCY) Which lets me sip on it for approx 5-10 minutes. The slower you drink it the better, because studies show half the time you think your hungry, your actually thirsty, and you should wait 10-15 minutes after a glass of water to see if you are still hungry before eating a meal or snack. I try and have my last shake at 7:30pm and not eat anything after that. Good Luck with your weight loss journey.

The recommendation is 2 a day

Personally I wouldn't have more than 3 per day.
Hope this helps.

The recommendation is 2 per day, breakfast and lunch and then a reasonably healthy evening meal. That's how I do it anyway!!

210 calories per serve

I'm pretty sure they're a meal replacement. I have bought a couple but not tried them yet!

I doubt they are discontinued as I bought some last night in my local Aldi. I hope they're not discontinuing them as I'm in the middle of my weight loss journey!!!

Here's hoping. I've been using them for nutrition and fir breakfast for three years and have never been unable to purchase them. I have also contacted ALDI via their customer service asking the question. It really is a great product .

Yes you can - just give it another shake before you pour.

Well it is designed to be mixed with water maybe a check of the ingredients but should be ok if in doubt ask doc

I'm not sure sorry! If you're ok will milk powders it should be ok

Sorry no idea maybe best to take a packet to your doctor if it's medical reason to avoid

Glucose derived from wheat is considered gluten free. It can also be derived from Corn.

I'm not sure you may need to check the ingredients on the packet to see if it's suitsble

I would check with your doc I would only worry your not getting enough nutrients I wouldn't think anything in it would hurt Bub

Yes it is fine I have had been using with while breast feeding and my child is fine it's been a month now

208 calories per shake. Taken with water only.

I'm taking it for breakfast and dinner and for lunch i have a cooked meal of meat and salad or vege

This is usually how my day goes. I'll have almonds and cranberries for morning tea/brekky, at lunch I'll have some crackers and tuna then have my shake and that keeps me full from about 1-7 when I have dinner. My biggest issue was getting home at 5 and binge eating because I was so hungry from having lunch at midday. I find the shakes really keep me fuller for longer and curb the need to snack
