Weight Management Exclusive — High-Protein, Low-Calorie Foods for Weight Loss Regular consumption of a "low-calorie diet" — limiting energy intake to a set amount (800–1,200 kcal per day) within a defined period — forces the body to burn stored energy, thereby achieving weight-loss goals.
Weight Control
Occasionally consuming the "low-calorie diet" while maintaining a balanced diet to keep a healthy body shape.
The Three Stages of the Low-Calorie Diet
Stage 1 — Initial: 900–1,000 kcal/day
Goal: Change previous eating habits. Recommended for 1–3 weeks, consuming weight-management foods together with regular foods.
Recommendation: 2 meal replacements per day, or 2 high-protein formulated foods (as part of a main meal) per day + 1 high-protein snack per day.
Stage 2 — Transition: 1,200 kcal/day
Goal: Reduce the proportion of weight-management foods in your daily diet and increase regular foods — especially slow-release carbohydrates. Weight will continue to decrease, and the diet becomes more varied.
Recommendation: 1 meal replacement per day, or 1 high-protein formulated food (as part of a main meal) per day + 1 high-protein snack per day.
Stage 3 — Stabilization: 1,600 kcal/day (goal weight)
Goal: Return to regular eating while consolidating weight-loss results. This stage is mainly for supplementing — or preventing — situations where customers cannot stick to a healthy diet. Whenever customers feel they have eaten too much, they can turn to weight-management foods. The key role of this stage is to prevent weight regain.
Recommendation: 1 meal replacement per day, or 1 high-protein formulated food (whenever customers feel the need).
Recognized by the European Food Safety Authority
