[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1059685, member: 41816"] Almased is a good meal replacement option if you want to maintain steady bg. Although it is also much more expensive than most. [USER=102150]@Spiker[/USER] used some of the standard meal replacements and found the issue wasn't the level of sugar in them (though that really wsn't ideal), but rather it was because they dumped that sugar into the blood stream very quickly. Too quickly for his insulin dose to keep up. At least, that is my recollection. I know you aren't T1, but that kind of thing is worth knowing... If you test, you may find it interesting to test every 15 mins for a shake or two, just to find out if your are spiking. If so, that may be increasing your insulin resistance, with a knock on effect on your weight loss plateau. The protein shake options are great so long as you don't have any soya or milk intolerances, but I have come across some made of pea or hemp protein, as alternatives. I guess we all just have to choose our protein of choice. :) [/QUOTE]
