[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2175331, member: 196898"] Thank you. A quick scan down the nutrition listings show that the diet is devoid of iron. It has the standard folate additive as required by law for fortified foods. The Omega-3 supplement is DHA so is not as effective as the EPA variant. The Vitamin A is beta carotene which is not true vit A and is not in a readily absorbable form for us. There is no Vit D3 or Vit K2 in the additive, Not sure of calcium intake. Although low carb it is probably above the ketosis level for most. The diet over 5 days will not harm you, but is definitely not suitable for use over a longer period (suggest price would limit that to a certain extent) So it contains more nutrients than plain water but has to be a quickfix blast to shock the system. Ultra low fat means participants are likely to be feeling hungry during the diet period so will faithfully mimic fasting in that respect. Since it is Plant Based, it does not contain choline so the body will have difficulty repairing any inflmmation damage or damaged cholesterol or mitochondria. There is also no L carnitine or triptosan so there will be a drop in energy levels to be expected since many of the added amino acids will not be metabolised properly. I have not checked the fibre issue, but it looks like this diet will suffer from the smoothie effect in that it is a soup based diet so much of the fibre will be processed into mush. [/QUOTE]
