The course of the diet with a Diet Shake from Doppelherz®

The Doppelherz® Diet Shake is a nutritionally balanced meal. It serves as a substitute for regular main meals in order to absorb fewer calories overall. Since the Diet Shake is low in carbohydrates and rich in protein, it promotes the breakdown of the body's own fat and protects the muscles from breakdown processes. There are two flavors, chocolate and vanilla. For one serving, 30 grams of the respective diet shake powder are stirred into 300 milliliters of low-fat 1.5% milk.

Not all daily meals need to be replaced with diet shakes. It is recommended to replace one or two meals a day with the Doppelherz® Diet Shake. The amount of daily shakes can be made dependent on personal goals. The meal replacement is flexible and individual, in order to lose weight it helps to divide this formula diet into a weight loss phase and a weight control phase. For effective weight loss, Doppelherz® recommends replacing two out of three daily main meals as part of a low-calorie diet with a diet shake. Subsequently, a daily main meal as part of a low-calorie diet should be replaced with a diet shake in order to maintain the weight after weight loss.

Side effect of diet

Diet shakes should be avoided if there are allergies to milk or dairy products. People with pronounced lactose intolerance should not mix the Diet Shake Powder with cow's milk, but with soy milk or water. Drinking a diet shake every day is basically healthy. If you overdose the diet shake powder enormously over a very long period of time, kidney function can be impaired. If you replace two main meals a day with diet shakes, side effects such as difficulty concentrating and loss of vitality are not uncommon. Although the manufacturer advertises an optimal nutrient supply, such a meal replacement contains significantly fewer calories than normal main meals. At the beginning this means that the body lacks energy and you feel weak.

Criticism of the diet

It is very important that the remaining main meals during the Weight Loss Phase and Weight Control Phase are low in calories, low in fat and well balanced. For maximum diet success, snacks should be avoided if possible and sweetened drinks should be taboo. If you eat more than you drink the diet shakes due to hunger pangs, you may even gain weight. Food cravings are frequent with formula diets, especially at the beginning of the change in diet, and make it difficult to persevere. The lack of performance and the difficulty concentrating can be a great challenge in everyday working life or studying. Therefore, this diet is not suitable for every profession.

What are the risks / dangers of this diet?

In order to get through the weight loss phase with Doppelherz® Diet Shakes, you have to be very disciplined. The risk of stopping the diet is particularly high in the first few days, as many people are not completely satisfied and satisfied after a diet shake. The side effects of poor concentration and poor performance are risks to be taken. The Doppelherz® products contain important vitamins and trace elements, which is why the diet shakes lead to fewer symptoms of deficiency than other diet products.

How much can I / should I lose weight with this form of diet?

With the help of the Diet Shakes from Doppelherz® you can lose between one and three kilograms in a week. The success of the diet is increased if you replace two main meals with diet shakes in the weight loss phase and the third main meal is a dish that is low in fat, low in calories and as low in carbohydrates as possible (see also: Diet without carbohydrates). If you do without snacks and do sports, the weight loss success can be effectively increased.

How can I avoid the yo-yo effect with this diet?

With formula diets, the body very quickly switches its energy requirements to the back burner and adjusts the basal metabolic rate accordingly. If you replace two main meals with a shake for 14 days and then fall back into bad old eating habits, you quickly have twice the weight you lost on your hips. To avoid the yo-yo effect, it is advisable to maintain a strict weight loss phase with two diet shakes a day. This is followed by a weight control phase with a daily shake for a longer period of time. As part of a stability phase, it is advisable to replace a meal with a diet shake every now and then. The remaining meals should be as healthy and balanced as possible. Exercise effectively helps to maintain the desired weight and gets the body in shape.

Medical evaluation of the diet by

The diet shakes from Doppelherz® in the form of a formula diet are very radical, especially in the weight loss phase, and difficult to maintain for many people, as this diet requires a lot of discipline. However, diet shakes are particularly effective in terms of weight loss if the diet is strictly followed.

Since the diet shakes are very high in protein, the body uses this protein and its own fat tissue as energy sources. The fat metabolism is actively stimulated, while your own muscles are protected despite the few calories. Therefore, people who stick to this diet often manage to lose a lot of weight in a very short time. However, the individual weight loss is heavily dependent on the initial situation, other nutrition during the diet and additional exercise. A plus point of the diet shakes are added vitamins and trace elements, which prevent dangerous deficiency symptoms. Serious disadvantages of the diet, however, are difficulty concentrating and poor performance, which make implementation in everyday working life much more difficult. When dieting with Doppelherz® Diet Shakes, it is very important to slowly approach the transition to a balanced, healthy diet in order to avoid the yo-yo effect.

What alternative diet shakes are there

Well-known manufacturers of similarly effective diet shakes are for example Almased, NISY and Yokebe. The Almased powder uses a particularly isoflavone-rich soy protein and probiotic skimmed milk yogurt. In contrast to the vanilla and chocolate flavors at Doppelherz®, the Almased Shake is only sweetened with natural honey. Similar is the concept of Yokebe Powder, which contains milk, whey and soy proteins. This shake is also sweetened with natural honey and important vitamins and trace elements are added to both Almased and Yokebe to prevent deficiency symptoms. A cheaper alternative is the WellMix Protein Shake from Rossmann, which is particularly suitable for athletes. It contains milk and whey protein, magnesium and also L-carnitine, which supports muscle building. In drugstores, supermarkets and pharmacies, there are numerous protein-containing diet shake powder varieties to effectively lose weight as part of a formula diet. It is important to ensure that the products are as low in carbohydrates, low in calories and high in protein as possible. Often there are hidden sugar traps in diet powders.

The diet shakes are therefore cheaper than the competing products from Almased and Yokebe. One storage jar of Protein Shake Powder is sufficient for 16 diet shakes that correspond to 16 meals.
