The Diet
Univite
Based on similar lines to the Cambridge diet, Univite offers the choice of 10 100 cal/420 kJ meal replacements which are taken whisked with hot or cold water to provide 330 cal/1386 kJ per day.
The manufacturers claim the product has all the recommended daily allowances of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and electrolytes necessary for good health.
The diet can be taken for three weeks as the sole source of nutrition, but low-calorie/kilojoule meals must be added in the fourth week.
Distribution is via a nationwide network of "advisers" as with the Cambridge Diet and Herbal Life Systems.
The cost works out as more expensive than buying, for example, other brands at chemists or drugstores.
Weight loss potential is considerable, averaging approximately fourteen to sixteen pounds (6 to 7 kg) in one month.
