The shake diet is a structured meal plan that replaces one or more meals with low-calorie, nutrient-rich shakes — a popular choice for those looking to lose weight, especially during hormonal shifts like menopause.

At Eve Biology, we’ve designed our meal replacement shake diet specifically for women over 40, supporting metabolism, energy, and cravings during the most transformative years of your life.

What is the Shake Diet?

The shake diet involves replacing 1–2 meals a day with a specially formulated shake. These shakes are usually:

  • High in protein
  • Low in calories and sugar
  • Rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre

The diet works by controlling calorie intake while keeping you satiated, supporting fat loss without extreme hunger or nutrient deprivation.


How Does the Shake Diet Work?

By swapping out meals for a controlled shake, you reduce your daily calorie intake — often by 400–600 kcal per meal — without risking nutrient deficiencies. Unlike fad diets, the shake diet is supported by clinical studies that show:

  • Reduced hunger levels due to higher protein and fibre
  • Improved blood sugar balance — important for supporting hormones
  • Steady weight loss when combined with high-protein, low-carb family-friendly dinners

A 2023 study published in Medical News Today reported that participants on a meal replacement shake diet experienced fewer cravings and more sustained energy levels compared to those on traditional low-calorie diets.


Shake Diet Benefits for Women in Midlife

At Eve Biology, our shake diet for menopause is built around the unique needs of women navigating hormonal changes. Our formulas contain:

  • Plant-based proteins for muscle maintenance
  • Adaptogen Ashwagandha KSM66 for mood and stress
  • Calcium, Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Vitamin K for bone health
  • Prebiotics for gut support and hormone regulation

💡 Why it matters: After 40, oestrogen decline can make weight loss harder and understanding why you gain weight in menopause gives you a strategic advantage. Our shake diet is designed to work with your hormones — not against them.

Shake Diet vs. Other Diets

Diet Type Key Traits Best For
Shake Diet Quick, portion-controlled, easy Busy schedules, fast results
Keto Diet Low carb, high fat Rapid fat burning
Intermittent Fasting Time-restricted eating Appetite control

The shake diet is often easier to follow and more balanced, particularly for women managing multiple life demands.

How to Start the Shake Diet

  1. Choose your shake: Start with one meal replacement shake per day (e.g., Eve Biology’s Menopause Meal Shake).
  2. Balance your meals: Eat one or two whole-food meals rich in lean protein, vegetables, and complex carbs.
  3. Stay hydrated: Water and herbal teas support detox and energy.
  4. Exercise gently: Walking, yoga, or resistance training work well with reduced-calorie plans.
  5. Track progress weekly: Don’t just measure weight — track energy, mood, and digestion too.
