Lose weight while enjoying dairy
To help make it easier for people who not only have difficulty digesting milk products but also want to lose weight, Slim-Fast has announced the introduction of a line of Easy to Digest weight loss shakes that have enhanced nutritional benefits.
“Avoiding dairy products is a challenge for millions of Americans with symptoms of lactose maldigestion who are actively on a diet or trying to lose weight,” said James Wong, Unilever Vice President of Marketing for Slim-Fast.”
The new Easy to Digest shake is the latest innovation from Slim-Fast that offers people with lactose intolerance, as well as individuals with gluten sensitivity an effective, proven weight-loss approach that meets their unique dietary needs.”
Lactose maldigestion or intolerance occurs when the body cannot digest lactose, the predominant sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
Additionally, an estimated 3 million Americans with gluten sensitivity, or celiac disease, must follow a gluten-free diet free of wheat, rye, barley and possibly oats in order to avoid gastrointestinal problems and possible life-threatening symptoms.
Slim-Fast Easy to Digest shakes are also gluten free.
Symptoms of lactose maldigestion also tend to develop in all consumers as we age, because the body loses its ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that is needed to digest lactose.
For that reason, the new Slim-Fast Easy to Digest shake contains higher levels of vitamins B6, B12 and D, nutrients important for people over 50, and is an excellent source of the antioxidant vitamins C and E. Each Slim-Fast Easy to Digest shake provides 50 percent of the Recommended Daily Value (DV) for Calcium, an essential nutrient that is often lacking in the diets of people who avoid milk and other dairy foods due to lactose intolerance.
Meal replacements-a category of calorie-controlled diets that replaces 1 or 2 meals with a nutritionally balanced, vitamin/mineral fortified shake or meal bar, or frozen prepared meal-help take the guesswork out of counting calories with built-in portion control.
