I (40M) am new to this whole scene because I wanted to lose weight. This is the first time I have ever really gained weight because my metabolism was always stupid high, but its slowed down in middle age as expected.
I started intermittent fasting, immediately cut out snacks and started having a Slimfast shake for lunch, then a reasonable dinner.
Thats all been fine, and my weight is starting to come down.
I did read articles saying that Slimfast isnt particularly good because of the sugar content, but all the articles seem to be from the US (I am British) and the stuff I have is no added sugar, and all that seems to be carb based.
People have suggested skipping it for a protein shake instead, but a lot of that is conflicting!
People have said about making a shake with protein and peanut butter, people have said peanut butter is awful for it.
I just dont know what to do and I am going in circles.
What can I drink at lunch that is better than I am currently drinking? Do I just mix the protein as directed? Do I add things?
I was considering Huel to be fair, might be worth more researching, thanks
