Protein Shake Diet
Have you ever heard of the Protein Shake Diet? If you’ve never heard of it, then you’ve missed a great opportunity to lose weight fast and easy. I am not joking, not at all. And that’s why I am here to help you catch up on the latest diet news, trends and products.
Actually the Protein Shake Diet and the WonderSlim Diet Plan are very much alike. They both include protein shakes and meal replacements. You can read more about WonderSlim diet plan in my review, which I wrote couple of months ago.
With the Protein Shake Diet you can enjoy the tasty flavor of protein diet shakes instead of your regular meals. Yeah, you drink protein shakes and lose weight. It’s very simple – the protein shakes are portion controlled, packed nutritious powders that are easily mixed in a big cups, shaker or blender with water, skim milk of juice.
There is no way to overeat with these protein shakes and your body is supplied with all the nutrients and energy you need to stay healthy, not be starving, and still loosing weight at the same time. Amazing, isn’t it? Miraculous – NO way! It’s all about portion controlling and meal planning.
Most protein shakes contain whey protein isolate, no fats (or insignificant amount), vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and sometimes fibers, carbohydrates and very little amounts of sugar. The calories are usually about 100 per serving.
You need a plan for taking the protein shakes. Every product has a plan or recommends another diet plan that uses such products. I will save you some time and will share a diet plan that uses protein diet shakes – WonderSlim.
Which one is better the Protein Shake Diet or WonderSlim Diet Plan?
Well, the Protein Shake Diet allows you to
choose whatever protein shake you like and wanna drink and WonderSlim comes packed with all inclusive protein shakes, puddings, and bars, etc.
You can design and adjust your Protein Shake Diet to help you lose weight, but you need to have a good knowledge on diet menu planning and proper combining and portioning different nutrients from protein diet shakes.
All that makes WonderSlim diet plan easier to follow, because it includes menu, meal plan, shopping list, meal replacements and all you need to lose weight safety way.
Benefits of Protein Shake Diet (Pros)
1. Time saving – the best thing about the Protein Shake Diet is the easy preparing and consumption of shakes – all in all not more than 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Great taste – delicious flavored products that give you all you need in one single serving.
3. Fast results – how does it sound to you 20 pounds lost in a single month – great, right?
Protein Shake Diet Cons
1. It sounds like a fad diet and many people will just pass it by. But it is NOT – do you hear me, it’s not! The protein shake diet will make you lose weight and with proper meal planning afterwards you’ll keep your weight off for ever.
2. The first couple of days you may feel a severe hunger and most likely be starving all day. It’s OK and it’ll pass shortly.
3. You can’t be on protein shakes for the rest of your life and that’s the greatest disadvantage of the Protein Shake Diet for me.
But if you ask me – you don’t need to be on shakes for ever. Just take them to lose the weight you need and maintain your new weight by proper meal planning and maintenance procedures. That of course means change in your life style, but I am sure you will do it for the better and healthier you.

Hi.
I think that the Protein Shake Diet sounds really good. My problem is that I dont know how to do it. I have been searching the site but I can’t find the exact way to follow the diet. Can you help?
Thx in advance.

As I say in the post the Protein Shake Diet and the WonderSlim Diet Plan are very much alike. I must also add the Medifast Diet here, and you will get the whole picture.
They all include protein shakes and meal replacements. You can read the WonderSlim Diet Review or Medifast Diet Review if you are interested in following a Protein Shake diet.
My only problem that I can see with these types of shakes and all, is the simple fact that it fails to teach you how to eat properly, and fails to encourage exercise which are the two main things that are going to promote weight loss. What good is it to spend all this money on a product to lose weight that will be gained back once the diet has finished.
This is easy to do. By the way these suggested shakes are great. Just add a small amount of stuff to the shake..
Vanilla shake with spinach or spirillena
Protein shake with one banana
Protein shake with small 1.4 cup of oatmeal a wee bit of coffee
Protein shake and oatmeal plus 1 table spoon of peanut butter
you can be creative but dont put too much stuff. You dont want to take protein alone you could do damange to yourself.
This is a Super great diet to do for one week, its amazing!!!
I’ve just begun this protein diet regiment, and I have found it to be extremely satisfying. I have been 100+ lbs. over-weight for 15 years now. I have have tried almost everything our there with exceptions to weight-watchers, and other accountability programs that, well lets face it, don’t work. Since Dec. 2007 I have lost about 65 lbs. bringing me from 365 lbs. down to 300 lbs. I’ve done this starting at the heart of being unhealthy, with my colon. I purchased a colon cleanser and took it via the instructions and dropped 20 lbs. of clotted fecal matter in my digestive track.
With a cleaner digestive and disposal system my body is now primed to lose weight through diet and exercise. So for 8 months now I have been slowly building up my endurance with light workouts at home, and managed to drop another 40 lbs.
Now I’m getting to the harder part of losing weight, the last 50 – 70 lbs. I joined a local gym about a month ago and began serious weight resistance training (about 4 hours a week ) threw in some daily cardio and ab workouts. Trucking along for about a week when i started feeling sluggish, a friend suggested buying a protein supplement mix ( whey ; creatine ) and making myself a shake before I work out, and one more after I work out.
I can’t describe the difference I feel now after 3 more weeks. My appetite is suppressed most of the day, and I have loads of energy to spare. I’m on track building lean muscle and burning fat all at the same time. It’s hard to judge progress by your weight once you begin weight resistance training, so I found an old pair of jeans that I’m dying to get back into and once every 2 weeks I slide them on to see how they fit.
The protein shake diet really does work. I suggest it for anyone. Of course I also suggest that you find about an hour a day to exercise along with your diet regiment. This will also help increase your metabolism and help build lean muscle to burn fat even quicker. Be careful though. Don’t set goals you can’t obtain. Don’t start your diet or exercise plan trying to loose all the weight at once. Set small achievable goals for yourself, and take pictures. Just when you feel like your not accomplishing anything by exercising pull out the pics, and have a look at where you were and where you are.
And remember:
Phillipians 4 :16 – “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!”
My Plan:
Shake/Recipe:1 scoop Protein mix (any flavor)
2 oz. Soy Milk
4 oz Water
1/2 Cup any fruit
Shake for breakfast – Workout 2 hours – Shake for lunch
Dinner – 3 oz of chicken or tuna
1/2 of Carrots
Hi Jason,
Thank you very much for your great story. It’s very inspiring and very helpful, and I am sure everyone here will appreciate your great advices.
Thanks again and Good Luck!

I take 2 scoops of chocolate whey and mix it in a blender with 2 cups of skim milk, a cup of ice and a banana. They taste amazing and can really curve your apetite.. On any high protein diet remember to take in a lot of water. It helps with digestion and protein synthesis… I also would recomend this diet because it is easier on your liver and heart than other type low carb diets because Whey is partially digested..
For the gentleman hitting a wall with your diet I recommend getting a fatburner, working out on an empty stomach in the morning and then drinking a 20 gram shake mixed with water about every 2 hrs.. Along with the shakes take in a good multi vitamin and make sure you are taking Calcium, Magnesium and CLA throughout the day. (They all help in metabolizing fat from your body into energy)… Take in some dry carbs like wheat toast, wheat or oat based cereals, or oatmeal.
Keep up the good work!
one of the benefits of protein shakes ive found is that, helps me to get into the routine of eating three times a day. Skipping meals slows the metabolism. And helps me get more protein in my diet.
Jason-
What Colon Cleanser did you use during your diet?

I did the protein shake diet around 10 years ago. It works great. The only problem is – like some of these posts have said, is being able to keep it off after you have finished (I kept it off for several years, until I started dating someone else and all we did was go out to eat). I lasted roughly 2-1/2 months on this diet and lost 35 pounds (from 160 to 125), but exercised like crazy and had a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch – then just a small meal like skinless chicken breast and some vegetables, and a multi-vitamin.
I think that this is the more extreme way of dieting. If you want to do it right, you should follow what I did, but add small snacks (veggies or fruits) throughout the day to keep you not feeling hungry and to keep your metabolism going. I was using one scoop of protein powder instead of two to keep the calories even lower and adding more water.
You really have to be willing to go on the diet and stick to it. It’s a lot of work, but effective. I’m starting the same diet with EAS protein shakes tomorrow and will alternate between salmon & boneless chicken breasts for dinner.
I found this diet in a magazine over the last 3 months at Winn Dixie Women’s World the big oversized one all colorful its under $2.00 they have the protein diet promising you will lose over 10 pounds in a few days. But it was all planned out all your meals. I tried to start it but kept putting the magazine down and never finding it again. I bought the Whey powder at Walmart for $13.98 they have chocolate, plain, strawberry or vanilla flavoring I got this far and these sheaks you can have up to 8 a day you mix them with water the whey and soy protein powder just one scoop. But you can have three meals too a day with them stuff like broiled skinned chicked one serving and mostly salad vegetables raw and fruits with some cheese. No oils or dressings were mentioned. I lost 85 pounds in less than 3 months 15 years ago but I jogged every single day 7 days a week rain snow or shine. I got lazy and gained it back I just cant do the run anymore. I started with coworkers doing that speed walking thing and we made up the diet stopped smoking reduced it to 3 cigs a day and bought ultra light merits and got used to this. Pita break and mustard with sliced turked every single day for lunch and a diet beer once a week. I did drop but at first it was all very hard I had the wrong shoes they were flat made my legs hurt when I bought soft running shoes I had it made and no pain. I wish I had used arms and wrist weights then the pounds would have come off faster. Sorry its so long but the diet sounded great and it works when I find it I will type it here
I have one from a doctor chemical and its 2 weeks you drop 20 pounds without exercise but it works I have this if you want a copy of it leaves nothing to the imagination and is plane no oil or butter or salt that sort of thing.
I like this idea but using a juicer too for fresh vegetables but this magazine had a whole diet you follow with the shakes. Running will do it burns cellulite mine was dust in the wind it was great but very hard to start running.
I need to mention that 85 pounds was lost using Slim Fast Sheak in all flavors. This shake mix had at the time a suppressant that stops you from feeling hungry and it worked my proportions dropped drastically what it takes to be able to eat what you like and want. I guess my metabolism was off and slamming my feet down on concrete shocked my entire being into reality your going to do this and my body did but hot climates I believe are keeping the weight on it is more difficult in hot weather to lose
