What are Formulated Meal Replacements?
Formulated Meal Replacements are a specific kind of meal replacement product designed to help manage a variety of health and nutrition challenges, including overweight and obesity, without compromising a person’s intake of essential nutrients.
Formulated Meal Replacements are governed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), an independent statutory agency that regulates food content and labelling to ensure a safe food supply and informed consumers. This means that aside from taste, price and accompanying advice Formulated Meal Replacement products in Australia are very similar.
One serve of a Formulated Meal Replacement must contain no less than:
- 12g protein
- 850kJ
- 25% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin A, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Calcium, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Zinc
Formulated Meal Replacements are safe for replacing one to two meals a day. Beware of meal replacement products that do not comply with FSANZ standards. These may not provide sufficient energy and/or nutrients for safe meal replacement. |
How do Formulated Meal Replacements work?
Formulated Meal Replacements are used to replace one or two meals per day and, most typically, help in the management of overweight and obesity.
They can do this because they are;
- controlled portions so there's no need to count kilojoules - you know how many there are in a serve
- enriched with essential nutrients and low in fat so you stay healthy while cutting kilojoules
- easy to prepare so they offer a convenient healthy meal at home or on the go
- introduce flexibilty into your diet so you can have a weight loss plan that suits your lifestyle
|
What kind of weight loss results
can you expect?
The Medical Journal of Australia says the use of a meal replacement in weight loss plans commonly results in a weight loss of around 9 - 10% of total body weight in the first 6 - 12 months. This compares to 3 - 7% of total body weight with other popular forms of weight loss.
Your Dietitian is the best person to help you set realistic weight loss goals. Typically a healthy and sustainable weight loss is about ½kg - 1kg per week. |
