Meal Substitutes

Put a program in your diet!

There are many ways to lose extra pounds before hitting the beach this summer. But not all programs suit every type of person. If you are one of those people who easily lose control over food or if you don't have the time to cook elaborate meals, then meal replacements are the solution you are looking for.



What are meal replacements?

These are meals that are small in size, but rich in energy and nutrients. Their big advantage is that they only contain 200 or 300 calories, as opposed to a mostly complete meal that contains at least 600 calories. They are usually dissolved in milk or water and are rich in protein and fiber, so they fill you up more and for a longer period of time. They contain, so to speak, all the nutrients of the diet in the most ideal proportion and with "measured" calories. 

Why do they work?

The "secret" of meal replacements is very simple and lies in reduced calorie intake. When the body receives less energy through nutrition, in order to maintain itself, it turns to its stores. The latter are nothing more than the extra pounds stored in the body. By saving calories at every meal, meal replacements create the right conditions for maintaining or losing weight.

Scientific data has shown that compared to traditional meal plans, meal replacements:

• They increase the feeling of satiety after a meal
• They increase the satisfaction offered by the meal
• Contribute to better portion control
• They allow a clear understanding of the number of calories consumed
• They are very easy to use

In fact, recent studies highlight their very important role in effective weight loss at the beginning of a diet but also in the subsequent maintenance of the lost pounds.
