I've heard so many good things about soy, what are some of the benefits
of soy in the diet? go
to top
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.
2.
How much soy protein does each serving of Dream
Shakes provide? go to top
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.

Lifestyles
Dream Shakes are gluten free.
4.
How can I make the Dream Shakes thicker
without adding more calories? go
to top
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.
5.
Can I consume the Dream Shakes if I am
allergic to dairy foods? go to
top
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? go to top
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.
7.
Why are some Lifestyles products formulated differently or
not available in some countries? go
to top
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.
8.
What would explain a new customer experiencing an uncommon
reaction such as headache, nausea, or diarrhoea after using our
dietary products? go to top
All
Lifestyles nutrition products are either food supplements or meal
replacements. As with any food product, a small percentage of
people may have a food allergy or food intolerance to a certain
ingredient used in that product. Common intolerances include lactose
intolerance (dairy products) and gluten intolerance (wheat, oats,
rye). If a person has an intolerance or allergy to an ingredient,
they should not consume that product. Also, many people are not
used to eating properly and their bodies may need time to adjust
to improved nutrition. These people may quite safely continue
to use our products, however they may find it necessary to reduce
their consumption of the products until their bodies have adjusted.
9.
Can Lifestyles products be used by diabetics? go
to top
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 individual's 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.
10.
Can the shakes be mixed? go to
top
Certainly.
Any of the flavors can be mixed together to create a new range
of tastes. Mixing with juice or instant coffee grains also makes
a pleasant change.
