I use a 'protein powder' called Vega One and it has a ton of vitamins and minerals, I make it in the morning with a frozen banana and strawberries sometimes toss in green leafs like kale or celery. It helps a ton because it's super filling because of all the nutrition and its natural (made from real plants/veggies/fruit.)

My husband and I both have lost a ton of weight, my husband 125lbs over 6 years, and I have lost about 30lbs. We cut out packaged foods unless it has 5 ingredients or less we have to unknown each and every ingredient and understand what it is. We avoid eating out, once a week if we do. (Prepping food ahead of time helps!) we also limit how much dairy, cheese, and meet we eat because it's so high it fat and cholesterol. Don't worry we get plenty of protein from our veggies, fruits, grains, seeds, nuts and beans!

Hope this helps!

Hey BRP,

I have been out of the country and realised I never said thank you or replied to your comment :) So sorry..
Thank you for the info regarding the VLCD shakes. I'm not sure if Vega One is available here in Australia but I'll investigate for sure. I did lose 4 kilos in 3 weeks on SlimFast but also had my period one week early which has scared me a bit :(
Were you TTC during the process of losing weight? And may I say, jeez! Your weight loss is awesome! Love it when I hear success stories like yours! Did any of this affect your TTC journey?

Once again, thank you and hope to hear from you soon :)
