The eating program is designed to teach people to eat fresh foods rather than processed, and to avoid all sweet, fatty and starchy foods. The nutrient enriched drinks which supplement this plan contain no artificial colourings, no artificial sweeteners, no sulphites and minimum additives. The shakes are very pleasant tasting, with no after taste, and contain complete protein, with 17 amino acids, low GI carbohydrates, and essential vitamins and minerals. Dieters consume two Medical Vita Diet milkshakes a day (typically breakfast & lunch) for nutritional supplementation. The Medical Vita Diet drinks come in 11 delicious flavours. The third meal (typically dinner) comprises lean meat, skinless chicken or fish, and a selection of vegetables. A multivitamin tablet is taken daily, or for added nutritional insurance, with every sachet. In addition, the dieter may eat unlimited vegetables from the ‘permitted foods’ list, for example a salad for lunch or chopped up celery, capsicum and shollots heaped into the Vita Diet soups. 8 glasses of water a day are essential. The dieter should also engage in 20-30 minutes of exercise daily, for example, walking, to achieve optimal weight loss results.
