USN Diet Fuel UltraLean

USN Diet Fuel UltraLean

Overview
USN have this to say:
USN Diet Fuel UltraLean represents the newest and most advanced technology for the reduction of body fat as well as the maintenance of lean muscle tissue. This delicious, low-GI, low-kJ meal replacement formula provides you with a complete, nutritious meal for any time of the day. It contains all the essential nutrients in adequate quantities to ensure healthy, but also lasting weight-loss.

The USN Lean System blend consists of N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine, HCA (Hydroxycitric acid) and a high level of bio-available Calcium, which have been shown to assist the weight-loss process through various effective mechanisms (excluding central nervous system stimulation). The formula has a high fiber content to increase satiety levels. The reduction in hunger is further promoted through the addition of 25g High Biological Value Protein from various sources, which triggers a natural weight-loss hormone (PYY) in the body. The high quality protein substrates also assist in improving protein synthesis, regulating blood sugar levels to reduce cravings and improving overall health.

Taste
I had the vanilla flavour and it was delicious, I used it primarily for breakfast and it kept me full and content until lunch. The shake is fairly thick but it mixes well and doesn't come out lumpy even in a standard shaker.

The exact amounts of the key weight loss ingredients aren’t listed which is never normally a good sign…

The “ultra lean” aspect of this shake is reliant on L Carnitne, which is a great fat burner but without knowing the exact amounts of it included its hard to tell if its good value or not.

Price
Can pick up a 1kg tub for a low as £19 or as high as £30. Since you only get 18 servings its best not to pay more than £20 for it.

Side Effects
None

Results
Does it work? Yes and No. It works in as much as it’s a great breakfast or lunch option, you get a pretty good protein hit with 25g and it does keep you full for quite a while so it should stop you snacking. No it doesn’t work in that it is not a good “weight loss” shake, it will not burn fat off you it only controls your cravings. If you stacked it with a fat burner then I can imagine that it would be a good combination.

If you don’t mind buying a fat burner as well then it’s a safe bet but if you want an “all in one” fat burner shake then this is not the product for you. 6/10
