Probably, only the lazy did not search on the Internet for the exposure and destruction of the composition of NL Energy Diet cocktails, where armchair experts, taking advantage of the popularity of the product and a large number of subscribers, pour out their very important and “competent” opinion on the Internet. Let's look at the composition, reveal the nasty details and the great deception of the NL international company about NL cocktails for weight loss.
Protein
- Milk protein is one of the key elements that is the source of all the essential amino acids that are necessary to maintain a healthy metabolism. Milk protein is a source of calcium and restores cells in the body.
- Soy protein is the lightest and most complete protein available. It is easily absorbed and integrated into the tissues of the body. Thanks to the content of lecithin in soy protein, the most important task is solved - the process of cell oxidation in the body slows down, thereby delaying the aging process.
- An equally important protein is pea protein. It is a natural source of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B9), which are conductors of all metabolic processes between cells. Thanks to pea protein, regeneration is accelerated and the recovery process after heavy loads and injuries is accelerated.
- Another source of protein in the composition is caseinate. It is absorbed by the body for a long time, thereby providing cells with complete building material. Caseinate provides the body with essential amino acids, as well as calcium and phosphorus.
Everything seems to be clear with the squirrels?
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are a source of energy. The composition includes fast (simple) and slow (complex)
- Fast carbohydrates that give a surge of strength and energy are dextrose and maltodextrin, which are glucose compounds. Glucose in isolated form must be avoided in order to avoid spikes in blood sugar. But in the Energy Diet, dextrose and maltodextrin interact with fiber and protein; in this combination, they are absorbed slowly, gradually being absorbed into the blood, so they are absolutely safe components, even for diabetics.
- Slow carbohydrates also include starch, the formation of which occurs under the influence of photosynthesis by various plants. Starch is a slow-acting, complex carbohydrate that is an ideal source of long-lasting energy. It is absorbed into the blood gradually and provides a prolonged supply of energy to every cell of the body. During mental work, it helps saturate the neurons of the brain, and during training, it replenishes the lack of glycogen in the muscles.
- Chicory inulin is a complex carbohydrate obtained from the tubers and roots of certain plants. In addition to its energy function, inulin removes harmful substances from the body: toxins, bad cholesterol and heavy metals.
- Dietary fiber, the so-called fiber, also belongs to complex carbohydrates. Fiber cleanses the intestines, has a mild diuretic effect, detoxification, and normalizes intestinal microflora. Fiber in Energy Diets is contained in the form of cellulose gum and tara gum, which are dietary fibers of various types. Cellulose gum supplies insoluble dietary fiber, while tara gum, on the contrary, supplies soluble fiber.

Vitamins and minerals
Energu Diet functional food contains all the essential nutrients the body needs every day, including vitamins and minerals.
Let's take a closer look at some of the components.
- Magnesium carbonate, which came to the food industry from medicine. Without it, the body does not absorb B vitamins. Magnesium carbonate improves the functioning of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems, promotes protein synthesis, and also has a positive effect on the activity of the brain and kidneys.
- Acerola MALPIGHGLABRAL or Caribbean cherry is a natural source of vitamins and microelements. It is especially rich in vitamin C. Caribbean cherries rejuvenate the body, remove toxins and increase vitality.
- Ferrous sulfate is the main participant in the energy processes of our body. As a source of iron, it provides nutrition for the normal development and functioning of the brain and ensures a healthy metabolic rhythm. And a lack of iron leads to excess weight.
- Zinc citrate or zinc is a very useful trace element. Thanks to it, the immune system is activated, vision and memory are improved. Zinc also promotes the absorption of fats and carbohydrates.
- Royal jelly or royal jelly - it contains more than 400 nutrients, minerals, vitamins and trace elements, including 22 amino acids (including all essential ones). Royal jelly is a powerful source of cell youth.
- Manganese gluconate improves metabolism, in other words, it helps to combine all the nutrients and trace elements in the cocktail.
- Copper gluconate – stimulates the skin’s immune system and prevents inflammatory processes.
- Potassium iodide or iodine - takes part in oxidative processes, increasing the level of brain activity.
- Sodium selenite or selenium, responsible for redox reactions, improves immunity by removing toxins from cells and neutralizing free radicals that contribute to cancer.
Energy Diet product line
Energy Diet products consist of more than just sweet cocktails. A sweet drink will perfectly complement a snack or replace breakfast, but it will not be enough to diversify your diet throughout the day. “Energy Diet chocolate” has been a favorite taste of women with a sweet tooth for a long time.
There is a wide selection of fruit cocktails:
- cappuccino;
- vanilla;
- banana;
- strawberry;
- raspberries;
- chocolate;
- Creme brulee.
In addition to them, she has created special additional products and flavors to diversify the diet of her customers.
“Smart food”, which itself finds problems inside the body and directs its power to eliminate them
A special menu has been created:
- soups;
- omelette;
- porridge.
The Energy Diet omelet will fully replace breakfast. To do this, simply beat the contents with milk and cook in a frying pan or in the microwave. The taste is no different from a regular omelette; the consistency is tender and juicy.
A large selection of flavors allows each person to diversify their diet; they will not get boring with daily and long-term use.
Energy Diet soups have several flavors:

Puree soups are suitable for lunch; you can prepare them right at work. Energy Diet oatmeal adds variety to any meal.
And a few more non-scary components
But we all know that it is not enough to make a product healthy; it also needs to be tasty and easy to use. To solve this problem, Energy Diet has added stabilizers, flavors and other 100% safe additives of taste and consistency. Flavors identical to natural are still the same natural flavors, only obtained in a laboratory method. They create the versatility of tastes and aromas of Energy Diet cocktails.
- Tripotassium citrate is a common acidity regulator and stabilizer. It helps maintain the consistency of the shake while giving you more satiety with fewer calories.
- It also contains a calorie-free artificial sweetener - acesulfame - k, which replaces regular sugar, but is absolutely safe for your health and figure.
- Beta-carotene is a natural plant pigment that is formed during photosynthesis by algae, fungi and bacteria. Once in the human body, beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A. Isn’t it scary?
- Tri-substituted calcium orthophosphate - performs several functions at once: acidity regulator, stabilizer, leavening agent and color fixative. It is absolutely safe for humans, since 70% of our bones and tooth enamel are made of calcium phosphate. Its main task is to preserve the product from temperature changes or during long-term storage without special conditions.

Question for trolls
I often hear one of the stupidest objections: “Energy Diet is chemistry” and the like. All the armchair experts analyze the compositions far and wide, shouting that it is chemicals, powder, and harmful. How can I replace food with powder diluted with water or milk? And other baseless blah blah blah. I have only one question, why don’t you troll baby food? Well, this is also an artificially created powder that mothers feed their children from the first days of life.
For example, take Nanny 3 infant formula, a New Zealand company that produces goat's milk infant formula. Expensive product of premium quality.
This mixture is recommended and approved by pediatricians all over the world for use by children from birth who are unlucky with breastfeeding.
For the sake of humor, let’s talk about Internet experts analyzing the composition of Energy Diets and proving that it is chemical, poison and complete nonsense. Let's compare the composition of Energy Diet and Nanny 3 infant formula.
Nanny | Energy diets |
Squirrels | Squirrels |
Fats | Fats |
Carbohydrates | Carbohydrates |
Vitamins – (the same) | Vitamins – (the same) |
Minerals (same) | Minerals (same) |
— | Cellulose! Children do not need it, their gastrointestinal tract is not so formed |
— | Enzyme complex |
Just for fun: find a can of baby formula in a pharmacy or supermarket and compare the composition of Energy Diets and baby formula, which is recommended for children from birth. Recommended by pediatricians, doctors, scientists! Not networkers. And people who have studied for many years, and who have been given a certain responsibility by the state, medicine and healthcare. They say without fear that children should eat this mixture.
And Energy Diets should be eaten by adults - this is what we say, networkers.
So what is the difference in composition? The difference, believe it or not, is only in percentage: what is contained in baby formula is 2-3 times more in Energy Diets. A child weighs 5-10 kg, and an adult weighs slightly more.
- Selenium: per 100 grams – 10 micrograms in Energy Diet – 54 micrograms.
- Iodine – 70 micrograms, Energy Diet – 166 micrograms.
And this trend can be seen in all indicators.
Comparison with competitors
Energy Diet is currently one of the most expensive products on the supplement and meal replacement market.
A jar of instant omelet ED costs 2,300 rubles on the official website. There are 15 servings in a jar. Thus, a powdered omelette prepared at home will cost you 150 rubles. With the cost of natural eggs being around 70 rubles per dozen.
But let's try to compare Energy Diet not with eggs, but with a similar product - the soluble protein complex 100% WHEY GOLD STANDARD from Optimum Nutrition, which is considered one of the best on the market.
Let's start the battle of instant cocktails:
Energy Diet Vanilla | 100% Whey Gold Standard |
450 g – price 2200 rub. | 900g – price 2200 rub. |
Proteins – 167.4 g Carbohydrates – 148.5 g Fats – 40.95 g Fiber – 29.25 g Calories – 1692 kcal | Proteins – 696 g Carbohydrates – 87 g carbohydrates (of which 30 g sugar) Fats – 29 g Fiber – no more than 29 g Calories – 3480 kcal |
For a 450g can of Energy Diet food you will pay 2200 rubles. That is, 900g of cocktail will cost you 4,400 rubles.
Thus, Energy Diet turned out to be twice as expensive as high-quality whey protein, which in addition to protein contains practically no fats and carbohydrates. At the same time, there is 4 times more protein in 100% WHEY GOLD STANDARD.
It is believed that the Energy Diet is worth overpaying for, because it imitates a full meal with carbohydrates, even with simple sugars.
However, you can buy a protein powder like Gold Standard and blend it with honey, banana, kiwi, oatmeal, and a spoonful of peanut butter to create a healthy, high-concentrated protein shake. But the main thing is that it will be cheaper.
