THE FIRST EVER LOW Gi SHAKE – FUNCTIONAL FOOD IN A GLASS!

No-one doubts the benefits of a low Gi diet and now switching to low Gi has just got easier with the launch of the new X-Vite Low Gi Shake from diet specialists, BioVite. This revolutionary low Gi meal replacement has a glycaemic index of just 34, making it the lowest on the market and can help you lose up to 10lbs in just three weeks with no hunger pangs, sugar cravings or waning energy levels.

BioVite has carefully researched the ingredients for the shake to give consumers optimum nutrition within a delicious vanilla flavour drink. By combining the ‘best-of-the-best’ vitamins and minerals with Omega 3, whey protein, calcium, and fibres such as oat beta glucan known for their slow release properties that make us feel fuller for longer, BioVite has created a ‘functional food’ in a glass.

Leading clinical nutritionist, Kirsten Brooks, BA(Hons), Bsc(Hons), DN Med(Dist), comments, “This new low Gi shake from BioVite will be the answer to many dieters’ prayers! Because it is based on low Gi principles - rather than just being low calorie or low fat - and it contains such an outstanding combination of nutritionally beneficial ingredients, it really nourishes the body. Anyone using this meal replacement to lose weight will find they do not experience that post-meal slump in energy levels which leaves them reaching for the nearest sugar fix. Feeling satisfied is the key to any successful diet and this low Gi shake will not only help people to lose weight steadily over a prolonged period, but also remain healthy throughout.”

The new Gi shake is available on-line at www.thinkweightloss.com or via the order hotline: Tel: 08000 68 6000. It costs £29.95 for 14 servings, plus P&P of £2.50 – that works out around £2.30 per meal – about the same as a low calorie sandwich – but much better for you!
