Hi Rada,
I would probably consult with my local GP if I was considering breast feeding whilst using meal replace shakes as it see if they offer enough nutritional value for you and your child.

Shouldn't take long if you watch other foods have no sugar. Have gone off it now, taking NO sugar, esp NO fructose, lost six Ks in 30 days xxx. Refer Sweet Poison, David Gillespie book. It's sugar, not fats, that do it.

This depends on how much you need to lose to begin with. I personally saw results after the first week. As long as you follow the diet ie: replacing 2 meals with the shakes and then having a limited carbohydrate dinner and lo carb snacks, you should see results fast. By limiting carbohydrates, your body has to find energy to burn so it starts burning excess body fat, rather than energy from food (carbohydrates)

It would be a fantastic kick start to losing weight Jacques. By using the shakes as a meal replacement for breakfast and lunch and then eating a healthy meal for dinner, keeping your carbohydrate intake to a minimum, the heavily overweight would see results. A good application to use is my fitness pal. You can scan the slim and trim barcode into your phone and it will tell you the calories remaining for the day. All diets and lifestyle changes work best with exercise, walking is one of the best things you can do and extend the distance as your fitness improves.
