Meal replacement shakes have gained popularity as a practical alternative to traditional meals. The CSIRO has found their offering has helped Australians kick start their weight loss journey with 28 per cent of people shifting out of the obese category after 12 weeks.

CSIRO Research Scientist Dr Gilly Hendrie joined 6PR Afternoons to discuss the popularity of meal replacement shakes and their program.

“The weight loss results have been great, the fast start program has seen almost everyone lose weight in the first 12 weeks,” Hendrie said on 6PR Afternoons.
