Note advice in the Q&A - one capful is enough!
I actually first bought this in 2018, and didn't use it as I was 55kg (I'm very short). I have since ballooned during lockdown to 69kg.
So I brought this badboy down from its dusty corner atop the cabinets and have been drinking for 5 days, 1 shake in the morning (1.5 capfuls in a 50:50 mix of 500ml water and skimmed milk). Then I have a "normal" meal in the evening, lots of veg, some sort of potato/rice, some sort of meat. Never count the calories in my evening meal and rarely snack (the odd Babybel).
First, flavour - strawberry is delicious. I do like the vanilla that I bought, too, but the strawberry has to take the cake as I actually look forward to the taste of it, very milk-shake like and not too sweet or artificial-tasting.
Second, ease of use - following regimen above, I have a shake ready in seconds. My advice is to add the water first, then the powder, then the milk, so the powder doesn't get stuck and the bottom when you blend it.
Third, efficacy - After I drink this, I do not feel hungry at all. I would say the full feeling lasts around 4 hours, but by then I have another shake and it is back. I don't even think about food. I would advise having different flavour options to choose from as boredom is the only reason I can think of breaking the routine, not hunger. Will try chocolate next.
Fourth, results - I have only been on the regimen for 5 days but I have lost 1.1 kg drinking 2 x 500ml shakes a day. I imagine if I was stricter about evening meals I could lose more.
I will update this review in 2 months as my aim is to lose the 10 of the 14kg I gained during lockdown - at 1kg a week (I expect this to slow down), I could be down to target in 2 months, as I am also going to add some mild exercise into the mix.
Stay tuned...!
