I really, really don't trust any of that stuff. It's OK as a backup in an emergency, I suppose, but personally I'd not rely on them. The whole idea is to eat whole, natural stuff. I'd not be suprised if we see a "new" generation of low-carb dieters that don't loose as easily because the money-makers say it's OK to have shakes & bars all the time...

I'm not a big breakfast eater, either, but I do eat now once I get to the office so I can take my suppliments & get my day started off right. Favourites are devilled eggs, or moc macaroni & cheese (stuff that can be prepared in advance).
