Having the recommended shakes or soups as your Total Dietary Replacement products is a proven way to lose weight quickly and safely. At present, a low-calorie diet using meal replacements has been shown to offer the greatest chance of achieving remission of type 2 diabetes. Following the recommended plan is much easier than trying to calorie count standard meals and snacks, as often people can find it difficult to stick to the strict limit. The shakes and soups are also nutritionally complete, meaning they contain all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs to work properly.
