5.0 out of 5 stars ZOIC Nutrition Drink compared to Slim Fast Low Carb, December 5, 2007

Here is a comparative of the Nutrition Facts showing ZOIC first on the left and Slim Fast Low Carb second on the right:

Calories: 110 - 190
Calories from Fat: 10 - 80
Saturated Fat: 0.5g - 1.5g
Trans Fat: 0g - 0g
Cholesterol: 5mg - 15mg
Sodium: 230mg - 260mg
Potassium: 230mg - 550mg
Total Carbohydrate: 5g - 6g
Dietary Fiber: 3g - 4g
Sugars: 1g - 1g
"Net Carbs:" 2g - 2g
Protein: 21g - 20g

The vitamins/minerals are somewhat similar in these two drinks and can be found on the Nutrition Facts on the cans. The biggest difference is that Slim Fast Low Carb has about 73% more calories and 70 more Fat calories per drink.

The taste, which I was concerned about when I order my first case of 24 drinks, is similar with the main difference that the Slim Fast Low Carb has a smoother, creamier texture. I experimented with adding about 80 calories of cream to a ZOIC drink and it definitely acquired a smoother, creamier texture. The overall taste of both drinks, in my opinion, is a good taste; but not a great taste. I would give these products a 4.5 rating if I could.

The Slim Fast Low Carb drink with its extra 70 more calories from Fat seems to satisfy my hunger perhaps 30 minutes longer than the ZOIC drink (without any cream added). ZOIC's package states "meal complement & snack replacement" not a meal replacement; in other words, it seems logical that one would add a small portion of other healthful food to make it a meal.

Both drinks refrain from adding any sugar or sugar alcohols (make sure you are comparing Slim Fast "Low Carb" and not other Slim Fast drinks which do have sugar added). Both drinks are free from Trans Fat.

I like to use both drinks to give me variety in taste and calories. The ZOIC drink at only 110 calories is a good choice when I want less calories and less fat calories; perhaps, when a planned meal time has to be pushed back in time by a couple of hours. If I need something to skip a meal, then I will usually choose Slim Fast Low Carb.

Both of these "Low Carb" drinks are good to have on hand in the refrigerator, so you can choose 110 or 190 calories versus some other super-sized 500 plus calorie item that may be in the refrigerator too.

I am 5 years out from my operation (RNY) and solid food has little appeal after dealing with eating too much or too fast, etc. My surgeon calls it "negative behavioral reinforcement" - I call it "pouch purge".

I discovered Zoic while speaking to another patient during a post op visit. She raved about it. I went out immediately and bought it, loved it and it has been my primary form of nutrition ever since. I have consulted my surgeon, 2 nutritionists and my family doctor and no one could shoot holes in the product - is a really great nutrition in a can!

It was always a challenge trying to find enough Zoic in local stores - they do no stock very much and it's only available in the biggest supermarkets. This new Amazon service is the best thing since - well, since I gave up sliced bread!

The subscription service, the quick turnaround and the price - big big savings. And my wife doesn't have to shlep the heavy boxes home in the weekly shopping.

Thanks Zoic and Thanks Amazon! This is great!!!

BTW, I order 6 x 6pks per month.ZOIC Nutrition Drink, Belgian Chocolate (Pack of 24)

Note to purists: If you shop at Whole Foods you probably won't be interested in this product. They won't carry Zoic as some ingredients are artifical. On well.....

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a Protein Drink, NOT a shake, July 24, 2008

I would actually give this product a rating of 4.5 instead of a 4.0. If you keep in mind that this drink is NOT a thick and creamy shake, but simply a refreshing high protein, low calorie, low carb, low sugar DRINK, then this DRINK is the bomb. If you're the type of person who is finicky and has set unrealistic taste expectations for many things, then you won't like this drink, either. Let's face it. High calorie, high fat foods taste great, but this drink can't be put in the same group for evaluation. Evaluate it for what it is...a healthy choice. If you're the type person who's main objective is to make better choices for what goes into your body, then this drink IS for you. The NEW guidelines for healthy living has bumped up the daily required protein grams for a woman to 80 grams per day and 100 grams for a man. This drink would definitely help you achieve those numbers without the unnecessary calories, carbs, fat and consequences.
