Meal replacement powder is a kind of food that can replace dinner. Generally, it is ground into powder and brewed with milk/soybean milk/water for drinking.

Energy intake

If the energy consumption is greater than the intake, the human body will start to consume the accumulated body fat for energy supply, and then the weight can be reduced. Dieting is to reduce energy intake, while exercise increases energy consumption, so general weight loss is nothing more than "controlling diet+moderate exercise".

Meal replacement powder's principle of losing weight, like dieting, is to reduce energy intake.

Generally speaking, meal replacement powder will indicate its calorie content, which is generally around 100-200 calories, far lower than the 500-600 calories of a normal meal.

Compared with direct dieting, meal replacement powder's important role is to increase satiety, in other words, to fight hunger!

Providing the same energy, an apple can resist for half an hour and a banana can resist for almost an hour.

A meal in meal replacement powder usually lasts 3-4 hours.

Meal replacement powder can do this because dietary fiber, such as wheat bran, guar gum and inulin, is usually added in meal replacement powder.

Dietary fiber can make the stomach feel full continuously after absorbing water. In addition, meal replacement powder will also add some sugar substitutes, such as organic erythritol, which can not only add sweetness to the finished product, but also delay the release of intestinal hormones and slow down gastric emptying, thus further prolonging satiety.
