I felt cheated when I made the shake with 8 oz of water (looks only), so I added 2 cups of ice and made a shake/smoothie that to the eye was quite large, the flavor is great and it was filling. The benefit is the added water you get from the ice. I've lost over 30 lbs. since Jan 08 and this was a great help. Kept me from feeling cheated, satisfied my urge for something sweet and kept me surprisingly full. The price was much better than the "big name" replacements. I do my best to catch it on sale and have always felt it was well worth the money.

I have been using this product faithly replacing my breakfast and lunch every day for over 12 weeks and have found no weight loss. I was working long hours and had no time to exercise.
I have recently changed positions at work and have time to exercise, so I am hoping that by adding exercise to the meal plan, I will start losing the fat around my middle.
The taste is fine. I am getting tired of it, but it doesn't gag me like some others do. I have no side effects.

Comments about GNC Total Lean Shake, Swiss Chocolate, 27 oz:
I started using this 3 months ago to replace my regular breakfast of Greek yogurt and fruit. I have lost 15 pounds! That seems like a healthy weight loss given the period of time. The added protein satisfies me much longer too. LOVE the Rich Chocolate. Vanilla is okay too. Have not tried other flavors. Sometimes, for an added treat, I add frozen, unsweetened fruit (which serves as the "ice"), and use an electric blender. Yummy. Otherwise, I use one of the shaker cups and it mixes very easily if I put the water in first, then the powder, then throw the metal ball in on top. Seal and shake.

Comments about GNC Total Lean Shake, Swiss Chocolate, 27 oz:
I received this as a gift from a friend who knows my struggles with weightloss. I've been using this as two meal replacements for 4 days now and I love it. I have it in the morning followed by berries and it keeps me full until lunch time to the point that I almost have to force myself to have lunch because I am not hungry. I either have another shake for lunch or dinner, depending on the day because I alternate to confuse my body and my other meal is usually a lean meat and veggies. I love this stuff and will continue to use it until I reach my target weight goal and most likely thereafter as a one meal replacement 3 - 5 times a week. Thank you GNC!!!

Comments about GNC Total Lean Shake, Swiss Chocolate, 27 oz:
I've been using this product for just a couple of days, but I have not had a problem so far and I don't mind mixing it with water. I bought it primarily for breakfast and a quick post-workout boost. I like that it's fairly low in sugar because I'm a reactive hypoglycemic and my blood sugar tends to plummit after a workout. I didn't buy this for weightloss. As long as I take 15-20 minutes to drink it, as you're supposed to with any meal or snack to maximize fullness, I don't feel hungry until 1-2 hours later, which works because I eat 6-7 times a day. I do advanced zumba 4x a week plus additional toning exercises and, so far, this is a good product for me.
Comments about GNC Total Lean Shake, Swiss Chocolate, 27 oz:
This Product was helpful @ being a snack or meal replacement. I use it before and after a workout or a snack before bed if I"m needing something. Usually I use a teaspoon of peanutbutter, a Bananna and ice and you have a Smoothie that tasey and healthy. It's only 100 Calories for 2 scoops , add Peanut butter and bananna And you've got a 300 Calorie Meal replacement. Wish It was $15-$20 instead of [$] . I know other meal replacements and Sahkes that are Way cheaper than this but doesnt taste as good.
Comments about GNC Total Lean Shake, Swiss Chocolate, 27 oz:
I drink a Lean Shake every weekday morning and try to drink one at lunch for days I don't have work lunches. For anyone who finds the consistency to be an issue, don't bother stirring it. Just pick up an inexpensive cocktail shaker--I pour in fat free milk or water & 2 scoops of mix, and shake it for 15 seconds. I drink that around 7am and I'm usually feeling good until noon, sometimes up to 2pm. If I truly committed to the entire plan(!), I think weight loss would come easy.
Comments about GNC Total Lean Shake, Swiss Chocolate, 27 oz:
I originally tried mixing the shake with water in a regular water bottle but it didn't mix very well, nor did it keep me very full for long. Mixed with water, it was more a snack than a meal. If I was really hungry I would have one before dinner to tide me over until I ate. When I used a blender and milk, I was able to have one for breakfast and that would work fine and I'd be fine until the later afternoon. I didn't notice a significant drop in my weight however. It taste great mixed with milk!
As a meal replacement, mix two scoops (48 grams) with 8 oz of cold water. Mix well. Drink two shakes daily while following the provided Meal and Exercise Plan.
