I just thought i would clear up a few inquiries and statements that have been made about Ultra Slim shakes having the same nutritional value and being exactly the same as the TF sachets. People have even suggested using the Ultraslim powder with the TF program because it is cheaper! 

Yes, at first glance the nutritional values do seem quite similar; but in fact they are not. The Ultraslim shakes have a higher energy value than the TF sachets and also less protein. They contain only 12g per serve compared with the 17g in the TF sachets. Adequate protein is needed while on the program to ensure that the bodies lean muscle mass is retained and not used for energy. It aso helps to keep you fuller for longer and satisfy hunger pangs.

The carbohydrate content of Ultraslim is 32-35g per serve depending on the flavour compared to 28g for TF. It is important as you all know that we limit the amount of carbohydrates on the program to ensure we remain in ketosis. It is also the type of carbohydrates that differ. We use a LOW GI sugars called fructose and lactose as our carbohydrate source while Ultraslim uses Sucrose, which is a high GI sugar. A major function of the TF program is to ensure that all components of the program are LOW GI, such as the fruit, veggies and the sachets. If somebody is using the Ultraslim powder to make their sachets and follow the rest of the plan they are defeating the purpose of maintaining a low GI diet. This is especially important for our diabetic customers.

Our sachets have been measured out to a specific weight to make sure that you are getting the right amount of nutrients each and every time you have a sachet, when mixing it with water. With Ultraslim, you have to measure out 33g (2 Tbsp) of the powder and mix it with 230mL skim milk. I don't know about any of you but every time the ultra shakes are mixed, the person would be getting a different nutritional value as they may not be accurate in measurements etc

Remember that we have put a certain amount of each nutrient in the sachets for a specific purpose and if you go and change those compositions you are unable to receive the full health benefits of the TF program. We are a LOW GI program and we pride ourselves on this fact. To get the best results and the desired health benefits, stick with the Tony Ferguson program,.....that's right it is a full program and anyone using another powder/shake is unable to access the support of the practitioners in the TF clinics Australia wide.

I hope this has cleared up a few aspects for all of you.

ULTIMATE GOAL                                                 

how does TF compare with Ultralite? I went on Ultralite a year ago and shed lots of weight, i had to drink 3 sachets a day with a small main meal as well, it seemed close to Atkins (which i have also done) in the sense that it limits carbs to 20g a day.

I love and i mean LOVE the flavour of the TF shakes, but just curious on the comparison to Ultralite.

Thanks.

We both started 29th Nov 2006, and we love doing TF at our own pace. We have TF for breaky most days, and follow the principles most days of the week. We have been keeping the weight off pretty well along the way.

My details - height 175cm age 46 - Started at 111 kg, now at 83 kg - would like to get to mid 70's.

My hubby - height 188cm age 49  - Started at 120 kgs, now at 97 kgs - goal around high 80's.

     Thanks Mally!
