The only shake mentioned above was the Exante shake, so I looked up the ingredients:

Lots of soy in there. The nutrition stats show 16 g carbs, 3.8g fiber, and 12g sugars, with 18g protein, and 6.6 g fat. (The amount of sugars doesn't make it sweet enough though - they add sucralose too)
Somehow, after drinking these sweet things every day for a few months, they're supposed to switch back to a healthier real food diet, without giving in to sweet cravings. I'm amazed that anyone has been able to do that, unless they were just absolutely sick to death of sweet stuff when they finally finished the weight loss program.
