I lead a busy life with a small business and a child. I used to do yoga and cycling but don’t have time anymore.
My “alarm” weight was 165 pounds, but pandemic stress led to fast food and sweets, and I reached 175. My clothes didn’t fit, so I had to buy new ones for events.
I cook healthy dinners but often end up getting fast food due to my busy schedule. I realized I could afford pre-made meal replacement drinks, so I started having a 200-calorie SlimFast at 10 am and a 400-calorie Soylent or Huel at 1 pm. By dinner, I’m ready for a normal meal. On weekends, I eat out guilt-free with my wife.
I’ve been losing about 1 pound a week and am now down to 164 pounds. It’s not perfect, but I’m glad I embraced meal replacement drinks.
