LR FIGUACTIVE Tasty Caramel Shake – for people who love a sweet and salty flavour

Do you get tired of the same sweet flavours?

Sticking with meal replacements for several weeks is much easier when you actually enjoy them. If you are the kind of person who orders salted caramel ice cream or adds a pinch of salt to chocolate, the usual vanilla and strawberry options may feel a bit flat.

The Tasty Caramel Shake has that sweet and salty balance. It uses sea salt and a touch of cocoa, sweetened with stevia, so a portion still has only 2.8 g of sugar. The protein comes mainly from pea, with chickpea and faba bean, and you make it with soy drink.

How do you know what you are getting?

Can a sweet-tasting shake really support your weight goals?

• To lose weight: Substituting two of the main daily meals of an energy-restricted diet with such meal replacements contributes to weight loss. To get this effect, you replace two main meals every day.
• To keep the weight off afterwards: Substituting one of the main daily meals of an energy-restricted diet with such meal replacements contributes to the maintenance of weight after weight loss. To get this effect, you replace one main meal every day.
• For your muscles: each portion provides 21 g of protein. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.

Nobody can promise you a set number of pounds, but a portion with a known calorie count takes the guesswork out of one or two meals a day. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle remain the foundation.

Is there anything to watch out for?

• Your other meals matter: it only works within an energy-restricted diet, and other foods are a necessary part of that diet.
• Drink plenty: you need 2 to 3 litres of calorie-free fluid a day, ideally mineral water or unsweetened tea.
• Use plain soy drink without added vitamins or minerals, and follow the directions exactly, because the nutrition values depend on it.
• Inulin: it contains inulin, a type of fibre. Read LR’s advice about it on the label, and if you have a sensitive gut, have a word with your GP before you start.
• Salt: a portion contains 1.1 g of salt, a little more than the other shakes.
• Allergens: it contains soy. The full allergen information is on the label.
