I’m doing the first 14 days of Fast 800 right now, thought I’d follow MM advice and get some shakes in so that I didn’t have to think about planning every meal.
I thought they would make me feel full but they don’t in the slightest. So as far as I can work out I am just consuming 200 calories in shake form for no reason at all. They don’t even taste nice but I didn’t have particularly high expectations on the taste/texture front.
What exactly are you supposed to gain from having a shake? Is it nutrients? I wouldn’t have thought that you were at much risk of malnutrition within a fortnight, certainly not enough to justify wasting 200cals of the meagre allowance on a tumbler full of vanilla-flavour wallpaper paste!
(And yes, before anyone says it, I do agree that perhaps the only real purpose of the shakes is to line Mr Moseley’s pockets, and I have fallen for his ruse!)
