Medical Vita Diet Shakes Questions & Answers

Hello Crystal no it didn't affect me at all like that.

Losing weight and feeling more energetic are the most important benefits of the Vita Diet. Thé ketone sticks are used largely to protect you against large ketosis which could be harmful

The Vita Diet shakes contain no sugar free or artificial sweeteners described by the WHO as being harmful. The carbs listed are mainly lactose, the low GI sugar found naturally in milk, and only a teaspoon of real sugar. People on the Vita diet achieve moderate ketosis which is within safe levels.The formulas have not changed but for weight loss to be successful you must stick to the allowed foods.

The formula has changed, I still have the old packs and the new one's, and no it's impossible to get into ketosis when you have 2 shakes a day 52 carbs, I'm changing to Atkins at lest there shakes only have 1g of carbs and no sugar

Good luck with your weight loss journey. The Vita Diet products will never include artificial sweeteners, for health reasons.

That is fine - the Vita Diet programme is flexible for individuals.:):)

If you have the Dr’s Guide to the Medical Vita Diet or the usage guide, you will find a list of all the unlimited veges you can eat in addition to the shakes and soups. We suggest you join the vita Diet support group for ideas.:)

Thank you

Hi Keri , So pleased you love the shakes!! Do you have a usage guide or the Dr’s Guide?? These list the allowed foods on the diet. For best weight loss results all flours are to be avoided :)

I have the doctors guide. And it says squash ?? Can u elaborate a little here in nz we have butternut squash and buttercup squash ?

Good question because there are so many types of squash it gets confusing!! Butternut is fairly high in carbs 12 gm per 100, whereas button squash and courgette or zucchini squash - sometimes referred to as marrow squash is only 3 gms and so more suitable for weight loss. Oh there’s also the green skinned gem squash that’s fine too.Keri are you a member of the Support Group! It’s worth joining:)) Members would appreciate your questions :))

I don't think I am ? There was a whatsapp connection and I sent a msg but the lady was ready my msgs but not replying so I deleted .. anyway I am on day 5 did a sneaky weigh in and I am down 2.5kg .. beyond thrilled

By the way I am not on facebook

That’s a great result - most people on the Vita Diet lose 3 kgs in their first week so you are right on track!

You achieve moderate ketosis on the Vita diet. Because it is health orientated there are no artificial sweeteners . The carbs are mainly from the lactose found naturally in milk but there are no other sugars in the eating propram,.!Type 2 diabetics do very well on the Vita Diet when they follow the rules.

Tanya a teaspoon of salt has 2300 mg of sodium so 128 mg of sodium is in fact minimal. Sodium is an essential nutrient.

This is not on the list of allowed foods.

I am doing this diet and I feel I’m drinking salt It’s tastes too salty

I actually do the first week. Have to take care with dairy. Good luck

Tanya as stated previously the shakes contain very little salt.

I’m not an expert but, I would think you would need to eat 1 meal a day for other nutrients - in saying that, I’ve had friends replace the 3rd meal 1-2 days a week for a low calorie day.

The diet specifically recommends having one meal of meat and veg to fill gaps in the diets nutrients etc

Thanks

Thanks for this answer

The Vita diet recommends just having two shakes per day with unlimited veggies (no carrot corn potato pumpkin) starchy vegetables. The book I have mentions that you can have low fat cheese. The diet specifically recommends cottage cheese. I've just started trying out the Vita diet and this info was in the booklet and on the website. Hope this helps

I doubt Vita Diet even know of this platform, the questions come through via email to those who’ve left a review. Personally, I love the shakes and haven’t met anyone yet who has not enjoyed them - low calorie meal replacement that tastes great. I can’t answer all questions as I have no medical background nor am I a dietician, but can give my opinion.

Just use a non stick teflon fry pan :) Olive oil can be drizzled after you cook.

I started with 2 for the first month and then got to my goal - I now have the 1 for maintenance & the fact I love them so much

Ok thanks ill have 2 a day

The diet recommends replacing two meals per day with shakes and having one meal of meat and veg. It also recommends drinking a glass of water each time you have a shake, including a multi vitamin. I have a coffee shake for breakfast and a berrocca. I also have a shake for lunch followed by meat and veg for dinner. No sugar, no carbs for optimal fat burning etc.

They do contain milk powder.

The soups are lactose free and bars are low lactose

The shakes contain lactose. I'm sensitive to lactose and am ok on the shakes myself.

Yes you can. Check the Facebook page posts. Type 2 diabetics get good results.

The Vita Diet booklet states that "Patients with diabetes MUST be under the direct supervision of their physician. A growing number of medical experts, familiar with the medical Vita diet, feel that this is the best method for treatment of obese nature onset diabetes. There are many case histories in which all clinical evidence of diabetes disappears as the patient approaches his/her ideal weight."
