Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week… giving you about a 8 pound loss per month (at the highest, and still healthy).

I’m sorry, but I don’t see how using shakes (as you say, just temporarily) is going to help you develop self control, in any way.

What you need to do, is just stick to eating healthy foods.. and getting plenty of exercise.

If you google 10 worst foods you will find that liquid diets are #10!

10 Liquid Meals They aren’t inherently bad for you, but they do keep you from eating whole, natural foods that contain more nutrients and fiber and disease-fighting phytochemicals. They may be okay for people who are too sick to eat, but don’t let them displace the real foods in your diet.

It remains a mystery to me why people believe anything including protein shakes is a ‘detox’ program…???

A Protein shake is not a proper detox. And you will gain that weight back if all your weight loss has come about by some quick starving your body fix.

We can talk up a plan for you to follow that would be better for your health if youd like

THis link has calorie plans and portion lists to follow

and I will find one for detoxing and post that too.
But consider the Lemonade (Master) Cleanse, I’ve done it and its a better cleanse.

I would have protein shakes first thing in the am and about 30-45 minutes before going to sleep.

have 3 whole food meals in the daytime. whole foods have a higher thermogenic effect so the body has to expend more energy to metabolize them vs. protein shakes.

Losing 10 lbs a month is actually not healthy at all so I wouldn’t advise continuing what you are doing.
If you insist on doing the protein shakes check into what you need to use to make this because the ready to use ones are specifically formulated ot give your body what it needs AND they do so with the understanding that you will have 1 regular meal 1 day…to deviate from that would be or could be dangerous.
I saw an 18yr old girl drop dead because she was dieting like you describe and her heart gave out due to lack of potassium.Not worth it at all.
You could contact a Dietitian they usually can go over a safe,slimming diet with you and they usually are not expensive to see.
Good Luck…
