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.

Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Secluded Sanctuary For Introverts

 Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Introvert's Perfect Sanctuary Picture credit: https://strawberryparkresorts.com/ I'm always on the hunt for an introvert's getaway. As you can probably tell, I love misty mountain retreats. The tranquility, cool crisp air, breathtaking view, the seclusion are just 😍 perfect for introverting. I chanced upon Strawberry Park Resort while staying at SunLight Suite during my last trip to Cameron Highlands.  I was admiring the night view from Sunlight Suite's compound when I saw a well-lit area on the adjacent hill and remembered thinking to myself "Hmm, that looks like an expensive place....but I gotta check it out!" As it turns out, it wasn't that expensive considering the comfort, the facilities, and the invigorating environment.  Hotel Booking I booked through Agoda for a 3-day 2 nights stay, without breakfast for RM720+. Before my trip, I emailed the resort for booking confirmation, coz you know how sometimes A...

Dear Girlfriends.....

I have known a lot of ladies who think they need someone to complete them and make them happy. Some compromised a lot and sacrificed so much of themselves to be in a relationship. Sadly some changed the person they are, the way they dress, even friends they mingle with just because the man in their life ask them to. Do not put your happiness in the hands of others. Happiness is a journey,not a destination. It is always up to us to make ourselves happy. If you are constantly wanting to be in a relationship to be happy or less lonely, you are going to be really disappointed.  Be happy with the person you are. If the one you are with now constantly make you feel worthless, maybe you are in a wrong relationship. Learn to love yourself. If you are not happy with the person you are now, how can you expect others to love you? This is a really nice song by Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire. Dedicated to all my girlfriends :) Remember, yo...
