About the program
Impromy™ is a health improvement program involving point of care testing to assess weight and risk factors such as cholesterol and blood glucose.
The program also includes meal replacements, high protein meals and provides ongoing support by trained staff.
We have tested the efficacy of combining higher protein main meals with breakfast and lunch meal replacements in the form of shakes in the early stages of weight loss. What this research has shown is that it can help to accelerate initial weight loss, blood pressure and cholesterol changes.
Recent research shows that greater early weight loss predicts longer term weight loss, making the meal replacement program a useful approach for weight control.
We are extending our work on the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet by combining it with meal replacement and a support program. The program has been released by Probiotec exclusively through pharmacies and will be administered under the supervision of trained pharmacy staff.
The Impromy™ program focuses on improving health through weight loss and good nutrition. It comprises nutritious and highly accepted meal replacements along with high protein meals from the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet.
Impromy™ brings together key elements:
- A focus on high protein meals and meal replacements (shakes).
- A mobile phone app which provides ongoing support and personalised feedback (available for smart phones)
- A trained consultant who will provide support, measure cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and guide you through the stages of the program.
- Expert telephone and online program information will also be available for consumers, pharmacists and doctors
