just seen this post so is maxitone a liquid drink if it is i think they are ok for short term eg if u want to lose a few pound b4 a hol (only my personal opinion) i really don't think you can do this long term boredom & hunger set in and you crave "real food" were you hungry when u had the chocolate & burger? i really think you should swop to a healthy way of losing weight that is sustainable in the long term eg weightwatchers , rosemary conley and obviously slimming world then i think you will have more chance of sticking with it, love val x
