Are the shakes suitable for those with IBS?
Our shakes are formulated to consider various dietary needs, including those with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). The key ingredient that is beneficial for IBS, is our prebiotic fiber, which is a natural fructose–oligosaccharide (FOS). Research indicates that FOS can be beneficial for IBS sufferers as it encourages the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which plays a role in digestive health.
Prebiotic fibres like FOS generally have a positive effect on the gut microbiome, and a well-balanced gut flora is crucial for managing IBS symptoms. These fibres can help regulate bowel movements and reduce inflammation, both of which are significant concerns for those with IBS.
Can I replace all my meals for a shake for even faster weight loss?
No. Our meal replacement shakes while nutritionally balanced, should only be used as part of a balanced diet. They should replace 1 or 2 of your 3 daily meals not all of them.
A healthy diet should be varied and include whole foods to ensure you're getting a wide range of essential nutrients.

It's best to aim for gradual weight loss while enjoying a diverse and nutritious diet.

Why do you recommend a 5 day plan and not a 7 day one?
The recommendation to take Eve Biology shakes 5 days a week is designed to align with a typical weekday routine, making it easier to integrate into your daily life. This approach offers structure during the weekdays when schedules are often more consistent, making it easier to maintain a weight loss plan. By allowing flexibility on weekends, it accommodates social engagements and family time, making your dietary regimen feel less restrictive and more sustainable in the long term. This balance helps make the journey towards health goals more enjoyable and manageable. Of course, the shakes are still beneficial if you choose to continue them during weekends, but the 5-day recommendation is about finding a practical, enjoyable rhythm that supports both your physical goals and lifestyle preferences.
Health and Dietary Concerns
Can I use these shakes while on the 5:2 diet?

For optimal health and to ensure you’re receiving a balanced intake of nutrients, we suggest replacing just one or two meals—either breakfast or lunch—with our shakes.
