Meal-replacement shakes are not automatically safe for weight loss. Check the ingredients, calories, protein and added sugar; avoid stimulant-based or unknown herbal blends. Use one only as a planned substitute, not along with regular meals, and keep the rest of your diet balanced. If you have diabetes, liver/kidney disease or take medicines, get medical advice first. For personalised weight-loss guidance, book a Practo consultation with me.

I've seen patients getting their bowel resected because, their  gut was entirely coated with green color herbal supplements from a long term therapy . It finally led to malabsorption syndrome. You can't digest them nor absorb them, just we don't produce those enzymes to break them!

Herbalife supplements though known to cause weight loss has no evidence. Whether it will cause any health issues depends on your current health and weight too. If you are towards obese weight then it is recommended not to consume herbal products as they can cause liver and kidney problems. They also increase with age

Meal-replacement shakes can help with weight loss if they help maintain a calorie deficit, but taking them twice daily long-term may not provide enough variety and fibre. A balanced diet with one shake as a meal replacement is generally preferable. Please check the exact product and ingredients before regular use.

There are not many prominent studies conducted on herbal weightloss supplements but it may caused liver and kidney damage in many cases. Regarding your safe weightloss issue, I would say diet compromises 80% and strength training about 20% ,

Hai madam Your diet plan seems to be more aggressive replacement. Consider balanced diet to be maintained with calculated & controlled calory cut . For Eg: if your body weight needs 2000 calory , you can cut calories upto 1500 , not less than that .

calculate your calorie requirement and plan accordingly
