A member asked:
Is liquid diet drink adequate replacement for one of 2 meals per day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a way: The drinks or shakes are formulated to satisfy your hunger, give you energy, and prevent protein malnutrition. However, the idea behind diet drinks or shakes is to lower the total amount of calories that you ingest per day thus allowing you to lose weight. They are replacing meals but not completely (calories).
