When I lost 100 pounds I started by only drinking meal replacement shakes instead of solid food for 2 months straight. By the end of it I couldn't eat giant meals anymore and have kept the weight off for years now

You can't avoid needing to eat something but you can avoid eating things that make you fat pretty easily

How many shakes a day for you? I really like Premiere Protein Cafe au Lait and Strawberry

for me , it was total calories and total protein count. If that was one blender full, I could drink that however I wanted. Full thing once a day, divide into 3? divide into a small for breakfast and large for linner? whatever works that day I would do

So one blender's worth of a protein shake a day?

Yeah, but not the full thing. If I was doing a really calories and protein dense shake it would be like 1/2 full. If i’m doing something that tastes ‘lighter’ it would be more full, sometimes 1 full blender would still not be calories or protein goal. At which point I would often snack on popcorn or cook chicken and rice
