Enzyme Diet Review

What You Should Know

The Enzyme Diet is a modified VLCD (very low calorie diet) created by Dr. Charles Jenkins, Chef John Bartilomo, Dr. John Sklare, and Jennifer Ferniza. The purpose of the Enzyme Diet is to achieve weight loss by replacing two meals a day with Enzyme Diet brand fortified shakes, which they claim will help you lose up to 25 lbs. in 12 weeks. The diet is split into three phases, with different habits to learn from each phase. You are also encouraged to use the recipes created by their chef. The diet is only intended to be followed for the allotted 12 weeks, since it is a VLCD-modified diet.

Surprisingly enough, The Enzyme Diet is cheaper than other VLCD diets. One box of The Enzyme’s Diet fortified drinks only cost $47.00, which equals a little over $3.00 per day. Dieters have the choice between soy-fortified versions and whey protein versions, which are available in two basic flavors. This is an extremely affordable and hassle free diet that promises staggering results, but the real reason behind its weight loss power might not be from the enzymes.

Ingredients

The Enzyme’s Diet French Vanilla Protein Drink features these ingredients: Soy Protein, Fructose, Rice Bran, Inulin, Rice Syrup Solids, Flaxseed, Safflower Oil Powder, Natural Flavors, Lecithin, Calcium Amino Acid Chelate, Oat Fiber, Conjugated Linoleic Acid Powder, Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate, Vegetarian Yeast, Guar Gum, Silica, Carrot Powder, Sweet Potato Powder, Acerola and Rosehips Extract, Sodium Chloride, Proprietary Enzyme Blend (Amylase, Protease, CereCalase, Isolase, Cellulase, Lipase, Alpha-Galactosidase), GlutaMagAAC (Glutamine-Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate), Stevia, Shitake Mushroom Powder, Zinc Amino Acid, Chelate, Natural Beta Carotene from Dunallella Salina Extract, Maganese, Amino Acid Chelate, Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Sea Kelp, Selenium Amino Acid Complex, Copper Amino Acid Chelate, Chromium Amino Acid/Niacin Chealate, Marigold Extract, Molybdemun Amino Acid Chelate.

Product Features

The Enzyme Diet claims everyone lacks certain enzymes, and when replaced these will boost the metabolism. By drinking their enzyme-fortified drinks, they claim people will increase metabolism, resulting in fast, effective weight loss. However, there is no scientific evidence backing this up. The real reason behind weight loss experienced with the Enzyme Diet seems to be from their drinks, but not from the enzyme fortification. One serving of their enzyme-fortified drink is 230 calories, which adds up to 460 calories per day. One nutritionally-balanced meal is suggested afterward, but dieters will be lucky to even break the 1000 calorie mark. 1000 calories is considered starvation and equals devastating side effects, including unhealthy weight loss and malnutrition. Dieters are advised to check with a physician before embarking on this diet.

Advantages

  • The Enzyme Diet was created by qualified physicians to stimulate fast weight loss.
  • It is one of the cheapest VLCD diets available.

Disadvantages

  • You consume less than 1000 calories per day, which can be very unhealthy and is technically starvation.
  • You must purchase the enzyme-fortified drinks in order to participate in the program.
  • There is no evidence given showing how enzymes help increase metabolism.
  • Unlike other VLCD’s, The Enzyme Diet does not seem to come with much professional oversight.
  • We wonder how filling the shakes are and if the taste will be appealing to everyone.

Conclusion

The diet appears to be somewhat effective, but for the wrong reasons. This diet might be too dangerous for people with heart related conditions. This is a nice diet to look into if you want to lose some extra pounds before a big event, however.

**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).
