Re: VLCD - Very Low Calorie Diet with Meal Replacement Shakes
Hi there,
I'm very new to all this and am trying to follow the rapid burn plan. My question is, if I have just two shakes a day rather than three, can I replace one shake with two Weight Watchers fat free fromage frais? The nutrition content in two would be as follows: 94kcal, 11.4g Carbs, sugar 9.8g, fat 0.2g, saturates 0.1g, protein 11g. It's quite similar to the shakes, only the fat content is lower? Would the plan still work? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much. xxx

VLCD - Very Low Calorie Diet with Meal Replacement Shakes
Re VLCD Dieting - Very Low Calorie Diet with Meal Replacement Shakes -
Recently had a few emails regarding the term and meaning VLCD so thought we would post here for some information to hopefully explain the term VLCD.

VLCD or Very Low Calorie Dieting, is a low carb / low calorie weight loss regime that allows you to follow a diet plan with less than 800kcal. Your diet plan should include a broad spectrum of essential nutrients, including carbs of which sugars (hopefully mainly fructose), fats (mainly unsaturated), protein, calcium, fibre etc
It is very difficult to follow a VLCD diet with just conventional foods that ensures you receive the minimum requirements for a healthy diet. Meal Replacement Shakes, Soups, Bars, Hot Meals allow you to follow a weight loss plan providing less than 800kcal, and when used corrently ensure you receive your nutritional requirement and an experience a Rapid Weight Loss.
ProtiKee products are generally a European product. In Europe their VLCD plans generally offer more than 800kcal and products are mixed with skimmed or soya milk to keep the calories above 800kcal. (eg: 4 x Total Shakes = 880kcal when mixed with milk). Therefore when trying to keep under the UK VLCD indicator we suggest you mix Total shake / oatmeal products with water instead of skimmed milk (4 x Total Shakes = 540kcal).
Because of this change the Total Shakes/Oatmeal RDA does fall slightly short of the minimum 100% RDA recommend amount (mainly magnesium). This is easily rectified by the vitamin & mineral supplement we advocate on all lower plans and easily covers this shortfall, plus provides you with more than the minimum 100% RDA recommended.
When losing weight many medical professionals now recommended more than 100% RDA daily is prudent whilst dropping weight. We also recommend that a monitored portion of salad/veggies is included for extra fibre to keep the digestive system healthy and avoid the common side effect of constipation. The foods you are allowed are extremely low gi / gl and their fibre content generally outweighs any carbs and calories you consume. The nuts and seeds we recommend as advised on some plans are to help with hair, nails,skin. Not all fats are bad and nuts and seeds are one of natures greatest discoveries for us, a prepacked goodness snack.
Water is so important for everyone, not just dieters and 1.5L is required by all. When dieting especially on a VLCD you reduce your food intake and therefore your water intake is also reduced (food consumed generally contains 70% of daily water required). You must therefore drink water to supplement the absence of food and also drink extra water that the body will require. Most VLCD plans will advocate 2.25L as a miminum, we recommend that an average of 3L is preferred to avoid common side effect, you should also take into consideration your height, present weight, lifestyle, normal water consumption etc into account as some persons will need even more than 3L on a VLCD. (eg A larger person in both height and weight will need more water) Make sure when drinking the water it is throughout the day and not all at once. This really doesnt count you will find you just need to pee very quickly after a large influx of water and your organs, muscle and body will not of reaped its value.
Hope this has helped you with your VLCD or deciding if VLCD and Meal Replacements are for you
