Beebers, a few weeks of strictly replacing that with meals and seeing no effect counted as not working in my books because usually I dont have such a problem with dropping weight. I have previously been as disciplined with something else, and seen great results, although yes it wasnt a replacement shake. Maybe this is just not for me, doesnt mean it wont work for others of course. I couldnt justify it to my taste buds! Sorry hun--my comment was directed at Sarsoor's post. The only time in my life I had great results replacing 2 meals with a shake was when I used EAS Myoplex Lite. Talk about questionable ingredients. Junk in my book! but, prior to that, I was eating complete junk, and the shakes were part of a new program with exercise added. In other words, anything was to be an improvement on McDonalds and no exercise!! So I am with you--I agree! Unless 1) your current eating is pretty bad, and 2) the shakes are part of an entirely new healthy eating program w/ exercise--they won't make much of a difference! They (alone) should not be regarded as a weight loss tool. That being said, I don't mind nasty tasting drinks if the nutrition is there, and I tire from ordering all my vegan protein blends from the states. I am nearly out of my hemp protein, so perhaps I'll try Lean95 for my approaching vegan experiment :)

Tried it for the first time this morning and it wasn't that bad. Well not as bad as people on this thread said it would be. I just skilled it down real fast. If its good for me then I don't mind :)

Cinnamon is their new flavour and it is indeed available in the Organic Cafe! They're also testing new flavours in SA which should be available later in the year.

I have the cinnamon one and I have to add some vanilla powder to it and hold my nose and just down it in one go. These comments are from my son who him and his wife and many people he knows who take lean95: Just a question, are you taking the Lean95 from the organic shop in Dubai mall? As there isnt any different flavors? The all natural vegan drink from wellness brothers, there is only one flavor. It is green in clolour costs 250AED. Well worth the money. It all depends on how much you care for your health. Is your health the most important thing in your life? Do you want to prevent heart problems high blood pressure diabetes etc? Lean95 is a great drink. It has only 95 cals per drink and is full of natural products that keep you full for longer. It has spirulina, maca powder, cocoa, and much more. The drink its self can replace 1 or 2 meals a day depending on your goals. And has to be drank with at least 500mls of water. You will never lose weight if you have an unhealthy diet around this drink. And you have to do exercise. There is no quick fix diet to lose weight. Pre-prepare meals for the day the night before. Take them with you to work or whereever you go. Inbetween your 3 main healthy meals snack on a handfull of almonds. Minimize fruit to 1-2 a day and take Lean95 as a meal replacement for one of your meals. Finally drink at least 2litres of water a day minimum; along with exercising 3-4 days a week as a minimum. Lean95 taste fine, make it with homemade almond milk(easy to make) or cold green tea or homemade lemon water. Your body will love the goodness in side this drink. Most important: be consistant/ eat healthy/ be active(burn more calories than you put in) Have a great day and good luck with all your weight loss.

Like any "shake" it's not exactly a weight loss product in itself--if you are replacing what would normally be a bad of mini oreos with a serving of Lean95, then yes, you'd be cutting calories and eventually losing weight. By the way, unless you got fat overnight, the weight is NOT coming off overnight. 1 kilo loss every two weeks is normal once the ball gets rolling. Pre-prepared meals are not what I would call drastic, more like a sensible, gradual approach. I wouldn't expect the weight to just fall off. If you have metabolic damage from eating like **** and being sedentary, it may take you even longer to get going in the right direction. Just because something doesn't immediately work doesn't mean it eventually won't!

Unfortunately I had no results with this :( Took it for a few weeks and stopped as the suffering was not worth it, for me at least ;) The cinnamon is definitely better than the regular one (I couldnt stomach that at all) but I still almost gagged most times with the cinnamon but it is drinkable. In spite of that, would probably have continued if I saw results but sadly did not.

Sarsoor - How is it going??? Have u lost anything. I started this morning, wasnt as bad as i thought/read about. Had 500ml and took me 5mins to gulp it down. Cinnamom flavor is ok, can hardly taste it though. Would love to hear the progress. Thanks

I've not tasted the mint flavor but have tried the original and cinnamon. To be honest I don't find it that bad to drink but after the first few days I decided to mix it with about 100ml of water and down the lot, followed by lots of water of the next few hours. That's what i did today and tbh it is so much better. 500 ml of that stuff was pure torture , so 100 ml even though it is very strong, it is easier to take down. I just drink the remaining 400 ml or more of water straight after. It should work in the same way, right? :) Yep, its working for me! Just be sure to drink a lot of water in the next 2 or 3 hours, I drink about 800- 1000ml but then I always have been a big water drinker.

I also bought some and couldn't drink it no matter how hard I tried, so its just sitting on my kitchen counter now!!! Hoping to find someone who wants to buy it off me for half price :) But it literally looks and tastes like pond water! I now have the sci mix diet drink. It taste just like chocolate milk and makes you feel really full. What flavour do you have? I may be interested in buying it from you. I have a similar product that I can only drink mixed with fresh orange juice. I read on their web site it can also be mixed with juice or in a smoothie. If you use stronger tasting fruits like banana, orange, pineapple etc it should mask the flavour. Also ice to make it really cold as food has less flavour when really cold.

I read about Lean95 on Expatwoman and decided to give it a try. I bought the mint flavor and i cant swallow that thing. It looks greenish and ugly, but i thought the taste wouldnt be that bad, however it worse than i imagined. In addition to that, i felt nauseated for the next few hours.... is this normal? has anybody tried the cinnamon flavor? hi sarsoor.. i can recommend to you the clean 9 .. it has a nine days program that you will follow and for 9 days you will see that you will losing weight. I have a friend whose using it and for 9 days he lost 4 kilos

Well for many the benefits outweigh the bad taste for a few minutes. I have to say my energy levels go through the roof when I drink the stuff. sorry Chocs..mind over matter here. If people are nauseous etc drinking it then...i would wonder how long they would stick with it? my energy levels go through the roof with a few things but... I can at least drink them and like them lol.....and...I can mix them with greek no fat yourt...but...each to their own.

The guy I got it from said to mix it with coconut water instead of just water....still tasted like s**t to me but you could try it. They should make it in a pill form and then it would be so much easier...but it's just plain vile to drink!!

I have started taking this 2 days ago and I also find it disgusting !! :( so far I have managed to force myself drinking it buy holding my nose and breathing as little as possible while drinking it! I also divide the 500 mls into 4 cups and have 2 spoons of fruit yogurt in between each cup to cover up the yuuky taste. It is getting more difficult every time though...I hope it works! I have the cinnamon flavor. <em>edited by Eli1979 on 24/06/2012</em>

Oh no! I bought 3 bottles of the cinnamon flavour. Opened one of them last week and it smelt like mud...have not been able to make myself drink it - but somewhere I was hoping it wasnt as bad as it smelt...now my dreams are shattered :( Do you think it makes sense to have it (if I can manage it at all) after my workout in the gym in the night?

Sasroor - My friend from gym said the same thing, it is awful, the choco-mint flavour. She had it for 2 days and gave up. She has given me some powder to try and i was planning on starting today but after reading your post, i am in 2 minds. Will make an attempt tomm morning and get back to u. People in my gym swear by the weight-loss they have achieved after using Lean95.

I drink it while holding my nose so I couldn't taste it. Works for me.

I'm sorry but I don't remember the flavour, just that I couldn't get rid of the taste for most of the day! It's best to try before you buy, as some people are very happy with it - and its nutrition is very good!
