As I have said many times, and repeated in the short book ” The Meal Replacement Diet” , you have to be very careful about slimming shakes, especially if they are products marketed as useful for weight loss, and they are not simply whey proteins. milk or vegan powder. A slimming shake from a well-known company in the field of meal replacement and weight loss products caused anaphylactic shock to an Australian woman ,  Ainsley Mackay.

It was her 4-year-old daughter who called the emergency room for her, and the paramedics managed to save her by arriving in time. But unfortunately there are many cases of poisoning and adverse reactions due to slimming shakes . In fact, it is not their protein content, but the excipients that are added to the products, and which in recent years have caused liver poisoning, death and severe allergies to some consumers around the world.

It is a pity, however, that very little is known about this news in Italy .

The advice is therefore not to buy the first supplement or the first drink with a fat burning effect at random, tempted by the photos you see online. Especially if the list of ingredients, when there is, is not perfectly clear to you, and there are substances you have never heard of before. It is always better to turn to an expert nutritionist, a dietician or a dietician, and never to a coach who actually turns out to be just a seller of products.
