AdvantEdge Carb Control Ready to Drink Review

Okay, here are the stats on EAS AdvantEDGE chocolate fudge carb control ready-to-drink shake: 100 calories for 11 fluid ounces, which contain 15 grams of protein and 4 total carbs. Minus 2 of fiber would be about 2 impact carbs, though the label says 1. So, either 1 or 2, depending on how you calculate it. I did say 100 calories, right?
This is my fave of the low-carb, high-protein drinks. Why? Cause it tastes like YooHoo and I grew up as a kid loving a chilled bottle of YooHoo. If that's a flavor that works for you--a sort of sweet and watery version of chocolate milk--then this might be a fine addition to your protein snack roster.
Notice I say snack. I don't think 100 calories makes for a satisfying meal. This drink doesn't carry the satisfaction punch of the gross-textured SlimFast Optima, and it doesn't carry the filling power of an Atkins shake (Eww, didn't like). But EAS Chocolate Fudge AdvantEDGE tastes good (to me), and it's low enough in calories that it's a good between meal snack to keep the blood sugar steady and the binge attacks at bay.
So, for a nice, cool, sweet, YooHoo-ey snack, here ya go. But if you are going to use it for meal-replacement, add something to it, a garden salad, some fruit and a bit of low-fat or fat-free cheese to get you up closer to a proper meal calorie range.
Oh, and shake VERY VERY VERY WELL, or you'll end up with some gross choco-sludge at the bottom of your can. That's not a good thing.
Thumbs up!

Zoller Labs Zantrex-3 Power Packets, Zesty Orange, 30 Packets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I buy a "diet" pill what I want first and foremost is appetite suppression. If I can control my appetite, I'm more than able to get the weight off and keep it off. That being said, when I rate a diet pill, I mostly rate it by its ability to stave off cravings/hunger.
The box says to add each packet to a 16oz bottle of water and drink 15 minutes before main meals. It says on the box: Extreme Energy, Reduced Appetite, Increased Concentration, Increased Alertness, Increased Performance.
I found that I really did get a nice energy boost but because I'm sometimes sensitive to OTC (over the counter) meds, I only drank half the bottle at a time and I found that to be more than sufficient for me. I got decent appetite suppression too. It truly is "reduced appetite". It didn't totally kill my appetite which I don't think is a bad thing. You shouldn't really have to remind yourself to eat or skip meals because that's just going to slow your weight loss in the long run. I found it reduced my hunger to the point that it was fairly easy to make good choices, even when eating out in a restaurant. I also found that while slightly less effective on hormone driven hunger (ie: PMS, Peri-menopause), it still worked okay on that as well. I wouldn't mind something a bit stronger for those times and next time, I'll try drinking the whole bottle as recommended and see if that doesn't make up the difference.
I never got the jitters while taking this but my worst snack times are in the evenings and found that if I tried drinking even half a bottle of this after 7:00pm or so, it did kind of take me awhile longer than normal to get to sleep. On average, it would take me 45-60 minutes to get to sleep rather than the 20-30 minutes it normally takes me. I can live with that, at least sometimes.
Regarding the taste of this: Have you ever taken a liquid vitamin product? If so, you'll recognize the taste of this. It's got a slight vitamin-y, mineral-y kind of after taste to it. I think it's not bad but for sure it's not the most tasty beverage I've ever had but to me, it's more than bearable. I find it's best to drink it ice cold. As to the increased concentration, alertness and performance claims - I would agree definitely with the increased alertness and possibly concentration as well however, I didn't notice a difference in how I felt during/after my workouts. I didn't feel it really made a significant difference either way but I did notice feeling more.....bouncy/energetic throughout the day while taking this and no crash feelings what-so-ever.
Final Impression: I like that it's in liquid form because I can take as much or little as I feel is necessary (however I wouldn't recommend going over the 3 pack a day limit that they recommend). I wouldn't call it great tasting but it's palatable. I felt the cost was reasonable and it does reduce appetite enough to give you control over choices and portions. I would buy this again.
