There are a lot of fad diets out there. The term fad simply means something comes and than goes just as quickly as it came. Typically, fad diets also "go" with a whole lot of your money their pockets as well. Diet pills. Forget about them.

If toughing this one out on your own, find a free calorie counter on the internet. They are all over the place. Determine the proper amount of daily calories for yourself. Stay away from low carb and low fat because the bottom line is, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. It does not matter if your calories come from meat, potatoes or bread.

When trying to loose weight, many of us seek a weight loss meal replacement drink of some sort that offers the nutrition our bodies need at a low calorie expenditure and gives us a full feeling as well. There are many expensive ready-made meal replacement shakes out there. However, we think it is best for you if you just used a homemade recipe of your own that is full of the goodness of the whole body nutrition your body needs. Many people successfully have a meal replacement shake for breakfast, one for lunch and than a satisfying low calorie meal for dinner.

Here is a simple and satisfying low calorie and stomach filling weight loss meal replacement shake.

One-Cup Plain Yogurt

One Half Cup Blueberries

Thirty Grams Protein Powder

One Raw Egg

Some Honey For Taste

This shake will taste like the best yogurt smoothie ever. Delicious, satisfying and stomach filling. When trying to loose weight it is important that you meet your protein needs. Hence the protein powder and the raw egg. Make sure this an organic egg, not the regular egg you find at the regular grocery store. The egg is an added natural source of protein that you body needs.

Four Ice Cubes

Ten Ounces of Water

One Banana

Two Tablespoons Heavy Cream

Fifty Grams of Protein Powder

Two Teaspoons Raw CoCoa
