Ideal Chocolate Milk Diet

I have never heard of this, but you have sure got me interested now! Is it like a meal replacement drink? I LOVE chocolate milk!

Sounds like a fad/scam diet...

This is a scam- plain and simple. There are no shortcuts or quick fixes when it comes to weight loss and proper nutrition. Which is why so many people struggle with it and why scam artists prey on people's desperation with bogus products like this.

I agree, I don't see how it's any different then muscle milk powder or the NO Xplode protein powder mixes or the GNC brand, or any of the other million protein powder mixes out there.

For one thing, NO Xplode is not a protein powder- it's a pre-workout supplement. For another, this product is not claiming to be a Whey Protein product, despite what the nutrition label says. It's being marketed as "Chocolate Milk Reinvented" which is misleading copy, often associated with scams and other untruthful advertising.

It's a freaking nutritional supplement powder... probably not too different from the protein powders that lots of bodybuilders use. First ingredient listed on package is whey protein isolate.

If that's the case, then why not buy some whey protein and be done with it? What makes this particular product so much more effective? If it's so great how come I've never heard of it or seen it in places like GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe?


But, from simply a cost standpoint, this product is a ripoff. A container retails for $19.95 and has a measly 17 servings, which averages about $1.17 per serving. This also doesn't include their marked up shipping costs, which only add to the per serving average.

For the sake of comparison, a 5 lb tub of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein on Bodybuilding.com (which is their #1 selling product, btw) retails for $44.99, but has a whopping 77 servings per container. This averages out to $0.58 per serving, which is less than HALF of what the Chocolate Milk Diet averages to.

In the end, it's your money- spend it how you want. But if it were me, and I was wasting money, I'd want to know about it.

Thanks for sharing your review - It doesn't look too bad and although I think its not a good diet in general (Because like any gimmick diet, as soon as you stop replacing your meals/snacks with it you won't know how to eat the right amount of maintenance calories) but it might be good every so often when you need a boost of protein and in conjunction with using something like MFP to track what you eat.

Honestly though if you want to use it as an aid for not overeating you are probably better off with just a glass of skim milk. Its a lot less calories and its pretty filling - unless you are actually working out like crazy/muscle building a glass of skim milk is probably sufficient on MOST days. Skim milk has a lot of protein and potassium - I mean I don't know your situation but for a normal diet and exercise routine the amount of protein you get daily is probably sufficient unless you are having kind of a bad day (Actually yesterday I could have really used a packet of this because I ate soooo badly). On a normal to good day I have no trouble getting 80-90 grams of protein. Unless you are trying to really bust it in you'd probably be fine most days without using a supplement like this.

I prefer the Ideal Real Food Diet.

Definitely a waste of money for what you get out of it. Yes drinking milk has some good things going for it, but there's no need to buy such an expensive supplement. I'd also suggest optimum nutrition whey powder, much cheaper per serving if you need to supplement your protein intake. Either get the chocolate flavor and use plain milk, or get choco milk and use plain powder. The powder can also be added to oatmeal or pancakes as an example, to up your protein intake that way.

There's absolutely no reason to pay for any weight loss program, when all the info you need is online for free. Eat a healthy amouont of food, and exercise regularly to burn a little above what you eat. Lift weights to maintain your lean mass and keep your metabolism up. Do it all in moderation so you enjoy your life, and you'll succeed.

Mayor_West,
Spot on! I'd rep you if I could! LoL


Love me some ON whey and casein, esp Chocolate Cake Batter Casein! Mix it w/ unsweetened vanilla almond milk, MmmMmmmmm /drool.

Use casein if you want to stay full longer, btw.

My thoughts exactly. I really enjoy drinking this stuff! Last I looked, they did away with the vanilla. It was the ONLY vanilla that I have tried, that I absolutely love. I hope they get it back.
