Dr. Wheeler Review

What You Should Know

Dr. Wheeler is a registered dietician with more than 27 years of experience in the field. He has served as chief nutritionist for the White House, Olympic teams, and several professional sports teams. Dr. Wheeler’s Gold Standard Protein shakes claim to help people lose weight by cutting calories from their daily diet. The calories are not missed because the nutritious shakes are filling enough to substitute for up to two meals daily.

Meal replacement shakes are not a new concept in the world of dieting; in fact, many shelves of the local supermarket are filled with them. However, we will take a closer look at Dr. Wheeler’s Gold Standard Protein shakes to see if this product offers an advantage over similar formulas. We found that the mixes are available through the product website and a number of online retailers. The mixes are fairly pricey - selling for nearly $120 for a three month supply at the time of this review. And that is the stated introductory price leading us to believe that subsequent purchases may cost even more.

List of Ingredients

We were disappointed to find that the product website did not appear to offer a complete list of ingredients. We believe that this information is essential in helping consumers make an educated decision about weight loss products. However, we were able to find the product label on the website of one of the online retailers offering this product. It appears that this formula is filled with vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber; enough to make up for a full meal with each serving. The formula is also very low in sugar, making this a good choice for diabetic dieters.

Product Features

The product website claims that Dr. Wheeler’s Gold Standard Protein uses the highest standard of protein available which apparently explains the high price tag of the product. The website also refers to scientific testing that is done to ensure quality. However, there is no clinical research cited to back up the claims that this is the highest quality of protein on the market, nor that meal replacement shakes like these are effective in helping people lose weight. We always urge consumers to look for clinical proof that products are effective before sinking money into them.

Advantages

  • The powder is filled with enough nutrients, protein, and fiber to serve as a meal replacement.
  • The product is available for purchase through the company website.

Disadvantages

  • A complete ingredient list is not included on the company website.
  • The shakes are very expensive.
  • We could not find any information about a refund policy.

Conclusion

Meal replacement shakes are not a new concept in the diet industry but Dr. Wheeler appears to be trying to take the quality of these diet tools to a whole new level. While Dr. Wheeler has ample knowledge and experience to back up his protein product we prefer a diet supplementation that contains an appetite suppressant and a fat burner for the best weight loss results.

**Our Top Weight Loss Choice**

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
