Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to advance the development of the WI meal replacements by evaluating the acceptance and feasibility of the meal replacements within the Wellness Institute's Weight Loss Clinic program (WLC). The main questions it aims to answer are: * To determine whether the incorporation of WI meal replacements into their weight loss clinic design is feasible. * To determine whether weight loss is supported by a plant-based meal replacement. * To assess efficacy of the meal replacements by measuring changes in lifestyle behaviours and risk factors for chronic disease compared to non-meal replacement weight loss program members. * To assess remission of diabetes and pre-diabetes. Researchers will compare the WLC program plus meal replacements to the WLC program without the meal replacements to evaluate the implementation of the meal replacements into the WLC. Participants will follow their WLC program for 16 weeks, and those in the intervention group will begin their meal replacements. Participants will have a choice on what type of meal replacement they will consume each day (either a bar or a shake) and will record this in the product consumption log.
