Yes, they do. Meal replacement shakes as part of a low-calorie diet (LCD) have been shown in several studies to be very effective for weight loss. 

‍

One study from 2018 showed 4% weight loss with 1 meal replacement per day over a period of 3 months, while other studies have shown an average weight loss of 5-7kg in 3 months on a partial meal replacement program. 

‍

In order to see the full benefits of meal replacement shakes, you need to stick with the plan as recommended by your doctor or the Juniper team of GPs, dietitians and health coaches. 

‍

In addition, the best results are seen in patients who also commit to healthy, low-calorie meals at regular meal times. When you sign up, we’ll give you dietitian-designed meal plans to give you the best possible results.

For rapid weight loss, we recommend the Level 2 ‘Rapid’ program (2 shakes per day) for 12 weeks, or until you reach your weight loss goals.

‍

Once you have achieved your goal weight, or you’ve reached 12 weeks on Level 2, you can progress to the Level 1 ‘Steady’ program for a slower, more steady rate of weight loss. 

‍

You can maintain the Steady program for as long as you like – for maintenance, or until you reach your ideal weight goal.

Absolutely. We recommend replacing 1 or 2 main meals – breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner – with a Nourish Shake, and having balanced meals for your remaining main meals.

‍

Our dietitians will also recommend some low-calorie, tasty and nutritious recipes to try alongside your shakes program.

There are two plans to choose from.
