Pure Whey protein or Casein as a meal replacement isn't very good for weight management because it's just pure protein. It'll deter your weight loss goals because without any kind of carbohydrate your body will retain fats and water in response to lack of metabolic activity. Carbs aren't bad for you at all, just like with everything in life it's bad in excess. The weight management concept is all about keeping steady blood sugar levels for a more consistant insulin response, as a result your metabolism will improve significantly [Higher the metabolism the more likely the body will be to brun off fat]. It's best to include moderate amounts of carbs in every meal, especially in the morning. There are options to meal replacement that include complex carbs, which help regulate insulin reponse.

Not a stupid question ! It's difficult to get a straight answer with all the products people try to sell you.
