Well, weight loss wise it did nothing. I lost 4 lbs and gained it all back the next day. So that didn't work. BUT...it did something else which helped me a lot, and I'm posting this here because I thought it might help someone else too who has similar problems.
I have suffered from chronic heartburn, acid reflux problem for 4 years now. When I get an episode of heartburn it hurts like I've got a heart attack, and have been taken to the hospital many times because of this. Went through a lot of tests, treatments etc. It is less frequent now, but even now when it happens, the effects last for almost a week.
Just the day before I started my shake diet, I had had an episode, and I was reluctant to start the diet, but I did so anyways. I was especially reluctant because of the orange juice in it which seems to worsen my condition. But surprisingly the shake seemed to cool down things immediately, and once I started teh shake, I didn't feel the heartburn again...forget about reeling under it for a week!! I guess the yogurt, soymilk etc had a lot to do with it.
I loved the taste too...so I won't be using it for weight loss, but I'll make it part of my regular diet to help me with my acidity problems.
