This product is a medical food designed to support weight loss. Research done at the University of Oregon supports the ability of Ultra Meal to reduce body fat while preserving lean muscle mass. In one study, 34 participants were put on the Ultra Meal program while 12 other subjects were placed on a leading, over-the-counter drink. After 10 weeks, the Ultra meal users lost an average of 11 pounds, while the other diet drink participants lost 13 pounds. The all important difference, however, is in the type of weight loss among the two groups. Of the 13 pounds lost by the diet drink participants, 11 pounds were from lean muscle mass. Of the average 11 pounds lost by the Ultra Meal program subjects, 100% of the weight loss was from body fat.
Ultra Meal supports healthy heart function by providing 15 grams of soy protein per serving. It is a dairy-free source of 600 mg of calcium and 17 mg of isoflavons per serving for estrogen balance. This product comes with a great starting guide.
