A cornerstone of our Healthy Weight For Life programs, KicStart Shakes and Soups have effectively helped thousands of people achieve healthy, sustainable weight loss.

What is VLCD?

VLCD stands for Very Low Calorie Diet, typically used under medical supervision to replace some or all daily meals for the dietary management of weight-related conditions.

Our KicStart VLCD meal replacements can be used in conjunction with our Healthy Weight For Life programs or separately to replace one or two meals a day to support weight management.

KicStart VLCD has been used in multiple internationally published clinical trials that showed medically significant weight loss and health improvements across many different clinical conditions (ref 1, ref 2, ref 3, ref 4)

Importantly, the same level of weight loss has also been replicated in ‘real world’ Healthy Weight For Life programs with over 20,000 participants to date (ref).

Evidence supports low and very low energy meal replacement as a successful strategy for weight loss in overweight individuals (ref 1, ref 2).
