🟢 Total Packs vs VLCD PacksUpdated 4 days ago

Understanding the Difference

When browsing New You products, you may notice that some are labelled Total Diet Replacement (TDR / TFR) while others are labelled VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet).

Both types are designed to support structured weight loss — the main difference is their calorie level and how they are used within the plan.

🧃 Total Packs

Total Food Replacement packs are nutritionally complete when used as directed.

They typically contain around 200 calories per pack and are designed to provide full daily nutrition when following a packs-only structure.

These packs include:

• High-quality protein
• Fibre for fullness
• Essential vitamins and minerals

Total packs are used on Total Focus, where you have 4 packs per day and no conventional food.

They are ideal if you prefer a fully structured approach with fewer decisions.

⚡ VLCD Packs

VLCD packs are lower-calorie products designed to support a stronger calorie deficit.

They typically contain around 150 calories per pack.

They are most commonly used on the Sprint phase, where customers may use:

• VLCD packs
• Total packs
• or a mix of both

VLCD packs still contain important nutrients and protein, but they are designed for shorter, focused fat-loss phases.

🧭 Can I Mix Them?

Yes.

Many customers use a combination of Total and VLCD packs on Sprint depending on their preference.

For example:

• Shake (Total)
• Soup (VLCD)
• Meal (Total)
• Bar (VLCD)

What matters most is following the structure of your chosen phase.

💡 A Simple Way to Think About It

Total packs
→ slightly higher calories
→ fully nutritionally complete
→ used for structured phases like Total Focus

VLCD packs
→ lower calories
→ used for stronger calorie deficit phases like Sprint

Both are designed to support safe, structured weight loss.
