Diet shakes to help you manage your diet - do they really work?

Recently, I've become interested in diet shakes, as it's become increasingly difficult to maintain regular meal times. While the convenience of a meal replacement is appealing, I'm curious whether diet shakes actually keep you feeling full for longer. While they may help with short-term weight loss, I'm also concerned about whether relying solely on diet shakes for long-term success. Diet shakes on the market vary widely in protein content, sugar content, and calorie content, making it difficult to determine which one to choose. I'd also like to know if there's a difference in the effectiveness of diet shakes consumed as a breakfast replacement versus those consumed in the evening. I'm also curious about the most practical way to utilize diet shakes in conjunction with exercise or a regular diet. If you have any tips for consuming diet shakes that help you manage your weight healthily without overdoing it, I'd love to hear more.
