Can anyone recommend non-disgusting meal replacement drinks/soups/bars

In order to kick off the weight loss, I wanted to start a meal replacement programme. I ordered a week's worth of shakes, soups and bars from Exante Diet, but they really are revolting. The bars are OK, but the soups are strangely milky tasting, and the shakes are flavourless.

Has anyone tried something like Celebrity Slim, Biggest Loser, the one Boots sells (can't remember the name, Toby Edwards or something). I have heard that slim fast isn't very good - I am looking for something which is realtively low carb (Exante is, very similar to Lighter Life). I don't qualify for LL so that is no good.

I haven't got a lot to lose (just over a stone) I just want to do it quickly as I have a party in 2 weeks and I need to get into my favourite dress

Forget meal replacements. Do dukan, basically just lean protein (and some oatbran) for 5 days and then add some low carb veggies every 2nd day. Should get 10lbs off in 2 weeks if very careful.

I would do, and have done it before, but I am meat free and it is very difficult to do when you can't easily eat chicken, turkey and other lean meats.

Thank you, though.

Celebrity Slim shakes are quite nice. I lost a stone in 4 weeks on them once. It's a low carb diet.

Is it? I have seen it online, do you know if it is sold in the shops at all? Thank you.
