Lynn Grieger, RD on Shake Diets

If you use liquid meal replacements occasionally instead of skipping a meal or choosing a high-calorie fast-food lunch, they're not a bad idea.

iVillagers on Shake Diets

"I am so excited about the new shake diet plan I am currently on. I have energy and no hunger, and I am motivated with my results! The shakes and bars taste wonderful, and contain all the vitamins your body needs." -- iVillager teresa839

"I had great success on a shake diet -- while I was on it. I almost immediately start to gain weight when I began to eat again. My digestion has never been the same and my metabolism is pretty much nonexistent." -- iVillager betseyann
