Zero Impact Diet

The Zero Impact Diet is a rapid weight loss program and kit designed by VPX, a company that specializes in body building. It is a high-protein diet best used by serious muscle-building athletes.

  1. The Kit

    • The Zero Impact Diet Kit comes with Meal Bars, Zero Impact Protein Bag, Zero Impact MRP Packets, Redline Gel Caps, Glucosa Cream, Thinfat and Fiberteq. It also includes an instructional book on how to use the kit properly and an educational DVD. The DVD encourages balanced eating and exercise.

    Considerations

    • The diet kit is sold in monthly packets and costs around $150, as of September 2010. It includes supplements, meal replacements and dietary tools, not actual meals. Balanced eating and exercise are still vital to this diet's success.

    Risks

    • The product includes gels that are designed to raise the body's temperature in order to induce shivering. Though this does burn calories, it can be dangerous and can cause dehydration. The diet also stresses a high intake of protein, which can become unhealthy over the long-term, as it places extra stress on the kidneys.
