The recommendation of meal replacement products such as OFFSET Nutrition meal replacement (MZE) and the OFFSET weight loss plan by physicians to their patients is based on a combination of scientific research, practical versatility and patient-centered benefits. These products can be an effective complement to traditional weight loss methods, including the use of weight loss injections.

Specific reasons why healthcare professionals should consider these options:

  • Scientifically supported effectiveness

    Studies have shown that meal replacements can be an effective strategy for weight loss and weight management. They provide a controlled calorie intake, are rich in essential nutrients and support adherence to diet plans. The systematic review and meta-analysis by Heymsfield et al. (2018) suggests that meal replacements, especially when integrated into a structured diet plan, can significantly contribute to weight loss compared to traditional dieting methods.

  • Complementary application with slimming syringes

    Weight loss injections, which typically contain active ingredients that reduce hunger or increase satiety, can be effectively supplemented by the use of meal replacement products such as OFFSET MZE. This combination allows patients to better control their calorie intake while ensuring a balanced nutritional intake. The meal replacement helps to support the calorie deficit induced by the weight loss injections with a nutrient-rich diet.

  • Diversity and flexibility

    OFFSET offers its meal replacements in over 40 different varieties and forms, including shakes, bars, cereals and pancakes. This variety can make sticking to a weight loss plan much easier, as it prevents dietary boredom and caters to individual taste preferences. Such flexibility is particularly important to keep patients motivated and engaged in the long term.

  • User-friendliness and practicality

    The OFFSET MZE Shake is simply mixed with milk and does not require the addition of oil, making it a convenient, quick and healthy meal option. This ease of use promotes adherence to the weight loss plan by minimizing meal prep time while still providing a filling and nutritious meal.

Yes, the OFFSET meal replacement was developed with the needs of diabetics in mind. This means that special emphasis has been placed in the formulation on a low glycemic index (GI) and controlling sugar levels to avoid blood sugar spikes. Products with a low GI release glucose into the bloodstream more slowly, which enables more stable blood sugar control and is therefore beneficial for diabetics.

In addition, the meal replacement products from OFFSET Nutrition contain a balanced blend of macro and micronutrients specifically designed to support the nutritional needs of diabetics without negatively impacting their blood sugar levels. This makes OFFSET meal replacements a safe and potent option for diabetics looking for effective weight management and weight loss solutions, provided they are used as part of a comprehensive and physician-supervised diet plan.

However, it is important that diabetics always make individual dietary recommendations and adjustments in consultation with their treating physician or a dietitian to ensure that meal replacements are optimally integrated into their specific health plan.
