Optislim Meal Replacement Shakes
Grab packet and go! Its simple and takes less than 3 minutes to grab your shaker, your shake packet and some water and be on your way out the door to a thinner you. Optislim, an Australian based company, brings a whole new meaning of simplicity to the weight loss community with their VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) Meal Replacement program.
With only 200 calories a meal, Optislim says they can help you lose the weight you’ve been struggling with for years and keep your body running smoothly, at the same time. Let’s see if they can land on their feet or if their highly placed claims will leave them flailing for answers.
The Program with the Promise
Whether you want to lose just a few pounds or have been struggling with weight issues your whole life, Optislim says that they have step that will work for you.
1. Accelerated Weight Loss – 3 VLCD Meal Replacement Products Daily (Replace every meal!)
2. Rapid Weight Loss- 2 VLCD Meal Replacement Products Daily – Add a third healthy, well-balanced meal made at home or through the Optislim HealthyChoice Menu.
3. Balanced Weight Loss- 1 VLCD Meal Replacement Product Daily – Two healthy meals should be added during this time as well and vegetable and fruit consumption can be higher on this level of the plan.
No matter which level of the plan you begin with and how far you end up going, it is important to be in consultation with your primary healthcare physician to ensure your safety and well-being. You should also continue to drink an adequate amount of water and be on a regular exercise pattern.
The VLCD Products
VLCD Products come as soup or shakes and both can be taken with you on the go since they come in packets. Soups come in tomato, pumpkin and creamy chicken while shakes flavors include chocolate, espresso coffee, and vanilla. Many consumers say they enjoy the shakes with fruit and/or ice, especially as time goes on to add variety.
According to Optislim, the VLCD products are supposed to have 25 essential daily vitamins and minerals to ensure the rest of your body continues to function at its highest levels while you are on this minimal calorie diet. However, as far as we have been able to find, there is absolutely no proof of these ingredients in any of their products. You will also have to purchase an additional fiber supplement, because there is no fiber available in any of the VLCD products.
In Conclusion
In conclusion, the only thing we can say for sure is that if you eat only 800 calories a day you will indeed lose weight. We highly doubt that this program can provide you with the proper vitamins and minerals you need to get through the day and maintain your health. We would not recommend this product and suggest looking elsewhere for your weight loss needs.
