Hey there,

I've read in many places that one way to enhance weight loss is to eat 5-6 smaller meals a day instead of 3. However, I've found that this is a little inconvinient to prepare. So one article I was reading suggested meal replacements as an option to make it easier. Anyone try this? I know we have to be careful about bars and shakes because of the carb count...

Thanks,
Tam

Hi Tammay -

It sounds to me like you've already answered your own question!

I think that WHENEVER possible, it's best to eat whole foods for your snacks, but a 1/2 a bar 2-3 times a week probably wouldn't be too bad. There are quite a few people, especially those who work out, that endulge in protein shakes. They are a great way to deliver the essential nutrients we're looking for.... I add flax oil, glutamine and psyllium to mine which I may not get in otherwise.

Does that help?
