If you met a woman who has been surviving on meal replacements for many days and are probably wondering what is the big deal about the food. You might be thinking that there are some new changes in technology but that is not the case. A couple of years back the founder of a very renowned company had been asked a question about the meal replacement shakes. He then had explained about it using a very good example of the horse and cart. As he was explaining the scenario, he said that people used to travel on horses but later on started using a more efficient mode of transportation. Hence it is not difficult for people to find a better way of eating.
