 ZOIC Nutrition Drink compared to Slim Fast Low Carb |
| Review Date: December 5, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Michael -, |
~
Here is a comparative of the Nutrition Facts showing ZOIC first on the left and Slim Fast Low Carb second on the right:
Calories: 110 - 190
Calories from Fat: 10 - 80
Saturated Fat: 0.5g - 1.5g
Trans Fat: 0g - 0g
Cholesterol: 5mg - 15mg
Sodium: 230mg - 260mg
Potassium: 230mg - 550mg
Total Carbohydrate: 5g - 6g
Dietary Fiber: 3g - 4g
Sugars: 1g - 1g
"Net Carbs:" 2g - 2g
Protein: 21g - 20g
The vitamins/minerals are somewhat similar in these two drinks and can be found on the Nutrition Facts on the cans. The biggest difference is that Slim Fast Low Carb has about 73% more calories and 70 more Fat calories per drink.
The taste, which I was concerned about when I order my first case of 24 drinks, is similar with the main difference that the Slim Fast Low Carb has a smoother, creamier texture. I experimented with adding about 80 calories of cream to a ZOIC drink and it definitely acquired a smoother, creamier texture. The overall taste of both drinks, in my opinion, is a good taste; but not a great taste. I would give these products a 4.5 rating if I could.
The Slim Fast Low Carb drink with its extra 70 more calories from Fat seems to satisfy my hunger perhaps 30 minutes longer than the ZOIC drink (without any cream added). ZOIC's package states "meal complement & snack replacement" not a meal replacement; in other words, it seems logical that one would add a small portion of other healthful food to make it a meal.
Both drinks refrain from adding any sugar or sugar alcohols (make sure you are comparing Slim Fast "Low Carb" and not other Slim Fast drinks which do have sugar added). Both drinks are free from Trans Fat.
I like to use both drinks to give me variety in taste and calories. The ZOIC drink at only 110 calories is a good choice when I want less calories and less fat calories; perhaps, when a planned meal time has to be pushed back in time by a couple of hours. If I need something to skip a meal, then I will usually choose Slim Fast Low Carb.
Both of these "Low Carb" drinks are good to have on hand in the refrigerator, so you can choose 110 or 190 calories versus some other super-sized 500 plus calorie item that may be in the refrigerator too.

Great For Post - Gastric Bypass Nutrition
|
| Review Date: February 28, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Peter H. Tours, ft lauderdale, fl |
I am 5 years out from my operation (RNY) and solid food has little appeal after dealing with eating too much or too fast, etc. My surgeon calls it "negative behavioral reinforcement" - I call it "pouch purge".
I discovered Zoic while speaking to another patient during a post op visit. She raved about it. I went out immediately and bought it, loved it and it has been my primary form of nutrition ever since. I have consulted my surgeon, 2 nutritionists and my family doctor and no one could shoot holes in the product - is a really great nutrition in a can!
It was always a challenge trying to find enough Zoic in local stores - they do no stock very much and it's only available in the biggest supermarkets. This new Amazon service is the best thing since - well, since I gave up sliced bread!
The subscription service, the quick turnaround and the price - big big savings. And my wife doesn't have to shlep the heavy boxes home in the weekly shopping.
Thanks Zoic and Thanks Amazon! This is great!!!
BTW, I order 6 x 6pks per month.ZOIC Nutrition Drink, Belgian Chocolate (Pack of 24)
Note to purists: If you shop at Whole Foods you probably won't be interested in this product. They won't carry Zoic as some ingredients are artifical. On well..... |

| This is the best product of it's type that I have found. It is not chalky or gritty. The taste is good. Higher protein content, lower fat and calories. |
Best product of its kind on the market

| Review Date: January 12, 2008 |
| Reviewer: ForsyteLvr61, GA |
| I was so happy to see Amazon carrying this product as I have used it off and on for about 4 years now. I finally got my thyroid medication adjusted and have been using this as a meal replacement with a piece of fruit for 2 meals (breakfast and lunch) a day with a normal dinner and light desert. I have lost 70 pounds since May 4, 2007. I can only tolerate the taste of the chocolate flavor but mixed with sugarfree instant powdered pudding or a ripe banana keeps me satisfied for hours. I noticed when I lived in Florida at the Cleveland Clinic this was offered at the small Starbucks carts in the lobby's and many gastric patients and their doctors endorsed the product. Never had the surgery but ZOIC was the best tip I ever rec'd. |
A winning pair

| Pair a ZOIC with a GNU bar (available on amazon) for breakfast or lunch and be AMAZED at how your hunger is suppressed for hours and hours. Pairing 21 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber can't be beat! |
