The PortionIQ portion-controlled nutrition range has been launched by Cambridge Nutritional Foods as a lineup of products for health-conscious consumers and those on GLP-1 weight loss medications.
The product range features shakes, soups, snacks and drinks that are each backed by nutritional expertise performed over decades and will help to optimize nutrition when dealing with a reduced appetite. The products are each balanced with protein, fiber and micronutrients in pre-portioned servings that are optimized for smaller appetites to help address the needs of consumers on a weight loss journey.
Nutritionist Mark Gilbert spoke on the PortionIQ portion-controlled nutrition range saying, "We’re seeing a real shift in how people approach weight management, particularly with the rising popularity and availability of GLP-1s. But while appetite may decrease while taking these medications, nutritional needs don’t. PortionIQ has been developed to bridge that gap – providing balanced protein, fibre and micronutrients in convenient, pre-portioned servings that work in real life. It’s about helping people feel confident they’re nourishing their bodies properly, even when their appetite is reduced.”
