When should I consume DotsDiet shakes?
You can replace practically any meal with shakes that support the DotsDiet diet. Because they can be prepared quickly and easily, you can take Dots shakes with you wherever you go. You will also learn about our extra tips if you browse our magazine.
What should I dilute DotsDiet shake base powders with?
Sweet shakes mixed with milk, vegetable milk or even natural yoghurt can be turned into a delicious and nutritious, filling treat, while savoury ones make a super soup when mixed with hot water.
How does DotsDiet prevent hunger pangs?
The water-soluble fibres can absorb up to 15 times their own weight when mixed with any liquid, turning into a jelly-like mass. Therefore, the advantage of a fibre-based diet is that it slows down the passage of food through the small intestine, ensuring a feeling of fullness.
To what extent does DotsDiet support weight loss?
DotsDiet shakes will contribute significantly to your slimming process, as you will only be consuming around 130 Kcal when replacing your main meal with them. Compare that with the calories in an average meal, and you have the answer! But the real diet-supporting power of DotsDiet shakes lies in their dietary fibre content, which you can read about in our answer to the question “How does DotsDiet prevent hunger pangs?” if you wish to understand more details.
Is medical supervision necessary while being on a diet?
If you are healthy, you do not need medical supervision to start your Dots diet. If you suffer from any underlying medical conditions, we recommend that you consult your doctor before ordering our products.
What do I need to know about online shop delivery?
Your order will be delivered to you by courier in 2-3 working days. You can pay by credit card, bank transfer or cash on delivery. For orders over HUF 15,000, delivery is free of charge. If you are ordering from abroad, please confirm your order at office@dotsdiet.hu or call +3630/983-0817 to provide details.
Can people with diabetes and insulin resistance consume the products?
Yes, because we do not use sugar in our products: our sweet shakes are made with stevia and erythritol, and our savoury shakes are made with fructose. Our product specifications also include detailed information on carbohydrates. On the other hand, a fibre-rich diet is highly recommended in the case of diabetes. You can also read about this topic in our magazine.
Can I consume the products during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes, but you need to take into consideration that our cream cheese shake contains chilli extract and our cocoa coffee flavoured sweet shake contains caffeine.
What consistency can I expect?
If you mix the base powder with water in a shaker, you will obtain a thinner consistency, while if you mix it with milk or vegetable milk, you can expect a much creamier consistency. Sweet shakes, if prepared with a little less liquid and allowed to stand for about 20 minutes, are also great for filling cakes, similarly to custard. Because the fibres absorb moisture intensively, if you let the product stand before consumption, it will become progressively thicker.
Why is it necessary to drink fluids after consuming DotsDiet shake?
Drink a minimum of 0.5 L of liquid in small doses 20 to 30 minutes after consuming the shake to allow the fibre, which is the core of the DotsDiet regime, to work its magic. Also read our answer to the question “How does DotsDiet prevent hunger?” to understand the details. If you don’t want to drink water, have some of our lemon drink powder!
Are the shakes safe in case of food intolerance?
If you are lactose intolerant, dairy protein intolerant or gluten intolerant, you still can safely consume DotsDiet vegan products. The shakes contain 20-50 mg/kg of gliadin and glutenin.
