Whether it’s for your summer holiday, to fit into a special dress or just to feel better, most of us have tried a diet at some point in our life.
But while many opt for calorie counting or the 5:2, when it comes to shifting the pounds quickly, liquid meal replacements are becoming increasingly popular.
Instead of tucking into a calorie-controlled plate of meat and two veg, your breakfast, lunch and dinner is
a formula milkshake or soup for weeks.
But do these extreme diets actually work and, more crucially, are they any good for long-term weight loss or do you just pile the pounds back on once you start eating “proper” food again?
A growing number of experts believe that these total meal replacement diets (also known as total diet replacements or formula diets) could be the solution to solving the UK’s obesity crisis – they are, in fact, already being used by the NHS in some areas of the country.
