Fast 800 shakes

[Home77]

Has anyone tried the shakes from the website, I wondered what they were like? Thanks

Coconut one is horrible! Tastes so strongly of Stevia and I can't stand artificial sweeteners. Also loads of flaxseed so very bitty and unpleasant. Very disappointed as I think Michael Mosley and wife are great, and their research into diet and health very interesting and valid. Won't be buying their Shakes though!

I bought the coffee shake and it is absolutely revolting. Even if I make it in the blender, the mixture separates if I don't down it immediately, and it tastes horrid!

It's not so bad (drinkable at least!) if you make it with milk instead of water, but then you've added extra calories...

I bought 2 packs of the vanilla one and they arrived today. I was full of high hopes that they’d be the solution to faffing about with calorie-counted lunches while at work.

I wasn’t expecting the texture to be all grainy! Is this what all meal replacement shakes are like, is it the fibre or something? I was expecting something smooth and creamy, not dust that sticks in my throat.

I was also hoping they might have a bit of an appetite suppressant effect but no such luck. I am bloody starving. Think I will try to have a very early dinner!

Tried the Fast 800 vanilla flavour shake.
Not impressed.Didnt mix easily and didnt like the taste.I think expensive but to be fair Ive never tried replacement meals so nothing to compare with.I also tried to review on the Fast 800 website but just more advertising for the products.
I think the book and recipes in the book but forget the meal replacements.In plastic pouches so not very good for the environment.Would recommend sticking to real food.

I ordered the vanilla one but, as everyone has said, it is unpleasant. Thinking of mixing it with cold espresso and almond milk and trying to make it more of a cold coffee. Stevia is such a strong flavour that it does dominate.

I've been using them to replace lunch for about ten weeks now (low carb, high protein 1100 cals a day) and have lost 2 inches everywhere. I really don't like the chocolate or vanilla. As others have said, the chocolate flavour tastes nothing like chocolate! The coffee and strawberry are ok but I mix five scoops with some Alpro plain 'no sugars' yogurt to make a sort of 'pudding'... rather than a shake. I'm near the size I want to be and I'm not looking forward to managing a maintenance diet - at 55, I know from experience that it's difficult to manage...
