is in a Lifestyles Dream Cookie?
The Cancer Society and Heart and Stroke Foundation recommend people consume 25 to 30 grams of dietary fibre per day. Lifestyles Dream Cookies contain approximately 8.5 to 10.5 grams of fibre each. Each Dream Cookie contains approximately 25 - 30% of the recommended daily fibre intake.
Where can I find more information about
dietary fibre?
In our information brochure entitled Fibre Facts - Your Guide to Healthy Eating, all aspects of fibre and its importance to health are discussed. You may ask us for a brochure or view one in a choice of four languages here.
Why is it important to drink water with each
Dream Cookie?
Soluble fibre has the ability to dissolve in water and helps contribute to a full, satisfied feeling. Dream Diet cookies contain soluble fibre, so it is important to consume water with the cookies so that this soluble fibre can do its work.
DREAM SHAKES
I've heard so many good things about soy,
what are some of the benefits of soy in the diet?
Soy foods contain a phytonutrient compound called genistein. Genistein is thought to be responsible for a reduction in the rates of certain types of cancer in people with high soy diets. As well, soy plays an important role in reducing the chances of developing cardiovascular disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels. Recently the U.S. FDA has stated that soy foods containing a minimum of 6.25 grams of soy protein per serving may carry a claim stating the relationship between soy protein and a reduction in the risk of developing heart disease.
How much soy protein does each serving
of Dream Shakes provide?
Each serving of Dream Shake provides a minimum of 12 grams of high quality soy protein isolate. This qualifies Dream Shakes to make the soy claim authorised by the United States FDA.
Are the Dream Shakes gluten free?
Lifestyles Dream Shakes are gluten free.
How can I make the Dream Shakes thicker
without adding more calories?
Simple. Just use 200 to 250 ml (8-10 fl. Oz.) of water instead of 300ml. (10 fl. Oz.) This will give you a much thicker Dream Shake with the same nutritional value.
Can I consume the Dream Shakes if I am
allergic to dairy foods?
The inability to digest dairy foods comes from either being lactose intolerant or allergic to the protein found in dairy products. You can quite safely drink Dream Shakes as they are lactose free and contain no protein from dairy sources.
How do the Dream Shakes help you
to lose weight?
Lifestyles Dream Shakes have been formulated as meal replacements to be used as part of the Lifestyles Dream Diet Program. Dream Shakes are very nutrient-dense, meaning they provide high levels of nutrition with fewer calories. As an example, a regular meal providing all the protein, vitamins, minerals etc. found in Dream Shakes would contain well over 500 calories. All this nutrition can be found in the Dream Shakes with approximately 225 calories. This reduction in calories combined with proper nutritional intake as outlined in the Dream Diet Menu Plan helps promote healthy weight management.
Why are some Lifestyles products formulated
differently or not available in some countries?
Government regulations concerning food and food supplements vary greatly from country to country. Although our goal at Lifestyles is to make all products available in all countries, in some cases we must alter the formulation to meet these regulations. In other cases the regulations simply will not allow the product to be made available.
Can Lifestyles products be used by diabetics?
Diabetics, in consultation with their health care practitioner, eat a diet based on the Food Group System. This means being able to make choices from seven different food categories in a strictly controlled manner.
Lifestyles' products may be consumed by diabetics as long as they are incorporated into each individuals daily Food Group System. This means that some of the foods presently being consumed would have to be discontinued to allow for the consumption of Lifestyles' products. All diabetics who would like to use the products should consult their health care practitioner for assistance in adjusting their food intake to safely add the products.
Can the shakes be mixed?
Certainly. Any of the flavours can be mixed together to create a new range of tastes. Mixing with juice or instant coffee grains also makes a pleasant change.
A.M:P.M. SUPPLEMENTS
Why is it important to take the ampm tablets and
capsules approximately half an hour before a meal?
The ampm supplement is formulated containing key ingredients that function best on an empty stomach. In the case of the am formula, it is formulated to boost the metabolism at the beginning of each day. As a result, if taken on an empty stomach, the key metabolism boosting ingredients enter the system much quicker and more effectively. The pm formula is designed to assist in the metabolism of fats in the diet. If taken just before the evening meal, the capsules have time to dissolve ensuring the key fat absorbing ingredients are ready to go to work on the food you eat.
What should I do if I forget to take either my
am or pm supplement before a meal?
If you forget to take your ampm as directed, do not worry. As soon as you remember, take the supplement. The active ingredients in this formula will still work and it is far better to take them after or during a meal than not take them at all.
Is it safe to take more than 1 ampm formula per day?
Yes. People who desire more rapid weight loss have found that by taking two or three of the ampm formula per day have experienced dramatic weight loss results. If you want to take more than one am tablet and one pm capsule, it is suggested that you follow this schedule:
When Taking 2 Dream a.m:p.m / Day
* Before Morning Meal 1 a.m tablet
* Before noon meal 1 a.m tablet + 1 pm capsule
* Before Evening Meal 1 p.m capsule
When Taking 3 Dream a.m:p.m / Day
* Before Morning Meal 2 a.m tablets
* Before noon meal 1 am tablet + 1 p.m capsule
* Before Evening Meal 2 p.m capsules
The am formulations contain all natural ingredients with no harsh stimulants or chemicals. Once you have achieved the rapid results you desire, you can then go back to one am formula and one pm formula per day as directed on the bottle.
What does metabolism mean?
The metabolism is the mechanism of the body that process the foods we eat into the energy the body requires for carrying out it's many functions. Your metabolic rate is a measurement of how efficiently your body burns calories for fuel. People with a fast metabolism burn calories at a very fast rate - often as quickly as they eat them. This type of person is in herently slim. Most of us have slower metabolisms and store a lot of our calories as fat.
The metabolism can be enhanced by such things as Lifestyles Dream am supplement, exercise and avoiding starvation, very low calorie diets. As we get older our metabolism slows down making weight management more difficult if we continue with the same eating habits.
