Do you have to workout with this? I'm not looking to lose weight I'm looking to have it just as a meal replacement..

I hse this one as a meal replacement. You don't have to workout with it. They have a separate pre workout.

I'm not sure about the regular total lean, however, the lean 25 I like because it has more protein. Not to mention the taste is better. I use it as a meal replacement, also for weight loss and occasionally after a workout. But I usually use it as a meal replacement. I have used it as total meal replacement for weeks I've been on liquid diet and done very well on it because the protein keeps me leveled out. Also, if you call a GNC store they are very patient and helpful with questions I've had. Hope this helps. :)

It recommends that you workout with it. It comes with a manual on a 14 day workout and meal plan to take with the drinks, but I don't think you necessarily have to. I'm drinking the recommended 2 shakes a day (I replace breakfast and a snack between lunch and dinner) and I only workout when I can. It's a great meal replacer it does help curb my appetite although you should note that according to the meal plan it recommends still eating something small with the shake. Like i think it says for breakfast drink the shake and eat 1 apple as well. So I hope I've answered your question!!!

If you stay active, yes. This product will give you more energy but the weight loss wont happen fast.

With any type of weight lost product, exercise "speeds" up the weight loss, but actually I did not at first and lost weight ... just not very fast. I wanted faster weight loss and I had more energy to exercise, so I did.

Well there's alot of things that go into place here . Do you work out daily or at least 4 times a week ? && do you have a clean diet meaning no junk food ,fast food things like that ? If you do all the above don't buy it because it won't do anything ,you would be wasting your money . But if you do work out and have a good diet then I would highly recommend this product. Diet is key to all this . If you're under 150 lbs don't take it no need for it just go to gym and work out . Alot of people think by taking these pills they'll automatically loose weight ,and that's not true you need to work out lol no easier way then that . Anymore questions feel free to ask me ,and don't take anything I said the wrong way I'm not directing anything towards you just answering your question.

I believe it does. I exercised on a treadmill and lift weights prior to getting this, and my weight has maintained/lost since using this-just is less stressful to the body. Any type of exercise is beneficial, plus you will be more willing to use this if it is easier on you back/knees or what ever hurts.

My opinion is that is for those who would use it as a meal replacement on a restricted diet to lose weight. It says on the label that it is should be used to "increase the protein in the diet" -- I am two years post-op bariatric surgery and I use it to make sure I get enough protein in my diet but it is not my only source of nutrition or even protein.

Yes and No! The intended purpose of this item is strictly for the maintenance of regularity. However, if used as indicated, the user could loose a few pounds in time. Because it give a full-feeling--the user tends to control over-eating. So, in the long run, by eating less, one could loose a few unwanted pounds. The Natural Prescription book by Robert M. Giller, M.D., currently available at Amazon, gives a load of valuable information concerning this product as well as a host of others. Happy hunting!

The supplement facts do not state that it is required during workouts. You can certainly use this supplement if you are not working out.

No, the product does not help you lose fat. I use it in conjunction to my regular diet which is mostly vegetarian and thus low on protein intake when i work out.The reason it mentions lean is because it contains very little fat and a scoop of it can be used to replace a meal and contain calorie intake.

I believe it's moreso for muscle mass. It's not a meal supplement or something like Slim Fast. It's better to drink it after a workout to replenish muscle mass.

I've bought one and love it. Please understand that just wearing it alone without any workout you won't maximize your results. Do about 30min of cardio (get a good sweat) and eat small(healthy)drink plenty of water no other liquids except a protein shake you should drop about 5-7lbs a week. With dedication, results will come and will keep you motivated

I used it as more of a fill in for when I had no access to 'real food' it's a bit thin to be a meal replacement as it's not as thick as a shake. It may fill you up depending on the situation but I have to say I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. It's more to give you the nutrients you may be missing from not eating properly all the time.I hope this helps.

It's not a magic formula for losing weight. You'll still have to watch what you eat, the amount and quality, plus exercise, but it's packed with vitamins and may make you not get as hungry.

For me, this machine releases tensions in the joints and muscles. Plus, if you do push-ups, sit-ups, squats, etc., on it, your body works twice as hard to maintain balance so you don't have to exercise as long to get the same results as you would doing them without the machine. After 10 minutes, I am sweaty and want water, so I assume I am burning calories, but it is not like doing cardio. It feels more like intense yoga.

I would never replace a meal with any protein shake unless your on the go and need some fuel for your body. I would use this mostly as an after workout drink or in between meal snack.

I know the protocol says not to exercise, but I didn't have a problem with exercise. Just make sure you stay within the 500 cal, so if you exercise eat an extra portion of fruit to keep it in the 500 cal range. I think it you go below 500 cal, your body sees it as starvation and slows down the weight loss.

I cannot say that I have lost weight while using the Les Mills Combat program, however, it WILL make you sweat! There is definitely a cardio element to the Les Mills Combat workouts. (I have not been using the program strictly. I have been using it as a supplement to a mix of workout programs. And I am not following any "diet" plan because I am more interested in toning than weight loss.) Give it a try! It is a fun workout program!
