Are you trying to lose weight but find it difficult to control your daily calorie intake?

Or you are someone who is always on the go, regularly skipped meals, and find it really difficult to find healthy, well-balanced meals because of your extremely busy and demanding life? 

Meal replacement shakes could be the answer that you are looking for.

What Is Meal Replacement Shakes?

Generally, meal replacement shakes have a calorie count of around 200–400 calories and a decent amount of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals.

It is essentially meal-on-the-go. 

Meal Replacement Shakes vs Protein Shakes. Are They The Same?

They are not the same and are designed for different goals.

Meal replacement shakes is designed to replace your meal so it must contain the essential nutrients (carbs, protein, fat, fibre, vitamin and minerals)

A protein shake is just intended to deliver protein with the purpose to add protein to the diet, not to replace a meal.

Meal Replacement Shakes For Weight Loss

The idea is to replace your regular meals with low-calorie powdered shakes to reduce your daily energy intake (creating a calorie deficit) to subsequently help you lose weight.
  • Low calorie 
  • Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals
  • Easy to prepare, just shake and go. 
  • Convenient way to supply your body with the essentials and nutrition as of a full meal, minus the high calorie
  • Helps to manage cravings and urges to binge into unhealthy processed foods that can sabotage your weight loss efforts.

Sikit Lagi Mau Jadi Hulk

I always consider myself to be a mild-mannered person. Sometimes people, especially those who doesn't really know me that well said they never saw me get angry. They described me as someone cool and calm. Most of the time, i don't get angry that easy but i'm human okay, i do get angry. When i'm annoyed, angry or plain moody, only those close to me knew, especially my dear friend, Anne  I don't have to say a word, she only need to look at my face. I used to think that i have a high patience-threshold but lately, i think something shifted and lowers the threshold. Last week i find myself super irritable, angry and snapped at those who annoys me. I don't know why of all the days, those friends all choose the same day to test my patience. I'm sorry i raised my voice at you guys :p Maybe i should do yoga or something to calm myself down . Or attend anger management courses. Or something like that... Ya, i look like that when i'm angry. All o...

Makanan Sebagai 'Metabolism Booster'?

Kenapa oatmeal mesti ada dalam senarai? Arghhhhh! Orang asyik sebut metabolism sana metabolism sini tapi uols tau tak apa itu metabolism? "Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy, which your body needs to function."  Even masa kita rehat ke tido ke, badan masih perlukan tenaga untuk fungsi yang 'unconscious', seperti bernafas, mengalirkan darah, adjust hormone level dan sebagainya. Tenaga yang digunakan untuk support aktiviti badan seperti ini kita panggil Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)  Selain BMR, 2 faktor lain yang menentukan kadar penggunaan tenaga/ kalori seharian anda adalah: 1. Pemprosesan makanan dalam badan ( thermogenesis) - Proses mengunyah, pencernaan, penyerapan dan penyimpanan makanan ini memerlukan 100-800 kcal sehari.  2. Aktiviti fizikal — sesais la uols. Berjalan, berlari, zumba, jogging, menggeletis dan pelbagai jenis pergerakkan juga melibatkan penggunaan tenaga.  Sis tak mau cerita ...

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City  I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens.  Like a resort in the middle of the city. But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge. I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here. The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam. It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. J ust minutes away from Subang Airport. I love that it's near to   Citta Mall , Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery .  So you know, I got a lot of F&B options...
