How Many High-Protein Sachets to Order?

You want to start a high-protein diet to lose weight but you don't know where to start… You're probably asking yourself the following questions:

• "How long will it take me to reach my weight loss goal?"
• "How many high-protein sachets should I consume?"
• "What should I order on the website to do my diet?"

We are here to answer these questions and to guide you at every step of our Cétofine 21 high-protein diet. If needed, contact customer service.

Our high-protein diet consists of 4 levels, each with distinct objectives. Depending on each level's objective, you will not consume the same amount of high-protein sachets.

Level 1, the strict protein diet: its goal is to trigger very rapid weight loss. You will consume high-protein sachets at each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and for snacks (at 10am and 4pm for women, at 10am, 4pm and 10pm for men).
If you are a woman: consumption of 5 high-protein sachets per day.
If you are a man: consumption of 6 high-protein sachets per day.

Level 2, the mitigated protein diet: As its name suggests, this diet is less strict and encourages you to keep one more traditional meal, composed of food proteins. The rest of the time you will consume high-protein sachets.
If you are a woman: consumption of 4 high-protein sachets per day.
If you are a man: consumption of 5 high-protein sachets per day.

Level 3, the transition: This level involves reintroducing certain food groups into your weight loss program, in addition to the regular meal. You will be encouraged to have a balanced and structured breakfast to diversify your diet instead of a high-protein sachet.
If you are a woman: consumption of 3 high-protein sachets per day.
If you are a man: consumption of 4 high-protein sachets per day.

Level 4, stabilization: The goal being to stabilize your weight, you will only consume high-protein sachets for snacks.
If you are a woman: consumption of 2 high-protein sachets per day.
If you are a man: consumption of 3 high-protein sachets per day.

Now that you know how many high-protein packets you should consume each day, depending on each phase, let's move on to the next step: how long does each phase last?

The answer is as follows: the duration of each level depends on your weight loss goal.

You will follow the level 1 program until you reach 70% of your weight loss goal, then move to level 2 until 80%, followed by level 3 until 90%, and finally level 4 until you reach 100% of your goal.

To give you a better understanding of the duration of each level, a table is presented below, indicating the number of days needed for each level based on your target weight loss goal:

Option 1: you start your high-protein diet with the strict diet (Level 1).

If the level 1 program seems too difficult for you, you can start your high-protein diet with level 2 and keep one more "traditional" meal per day. You follow the level 2 program until you reach 80% of your weight loss goal.

Option 2: you start your high-protein diet with the mixed diet (Level 2).

We recommend that you set an achievable goal and mentally prepare yourself to modify all of your eating habits in order to reach this goal! By its nature, the high-protein diet requires a certain discipline if you wish to achieve your weight loss goal.

Now that you know how long each phase of the high-protein diet will last to reach your weight loss goal, you will need to determine the number of high-protein sachets you need to order.

At Cétofine 21, each box contains 7 high-protein sachets.

Now you have all the tools you need! You know how many high-protein sachets you need to consume each day and the duration of each level based on your weight loss goal. It's all just a matter of calculation now...

To make things easier for you, here's a table showing how many boxes of high-protein sachets to order for each level, according to your weight loss goal.

Option 1: if you are starting your diet with level 1, the strict protein diet.

Option 2: If you prefer to start your diet with level 2, the moderate protein diet.

You will have a few sachets left after your diet. You can consume them after a small indulgence or during your snacks to fight against cravings.

We recommend ordering your high-protein sachets gradually or in a variety pack, so you can discover which ones best match your preferences.

If you find all these steps complex, we have designed weight loss kits that include all the protein products necessary to help you lose weight. Discover our weight loss kits for -3 kilos, -6 kilos, and -10 kilos, with a specific option for men.

All high-protein sachets contain the same amount of protein for weight loss: 18 grams of high biological value protein. This means that a soup, an omelet, or a shepherd's pie contains the same amount of protein as a cocoa drink or a high-protein dessert cream.

You will feel just as satisfied after eating a high-protein omelet as after drinking a high-protein cocoa drink.

Our recommendations for ordering boxes of high-protein sachets are as follows: opt for sweet high-protein sachets or for breakfast and snacks, and savory high-protein sachets for lunch and dinner.

However, if you prefer to order more savory high-protein sachets to enjoy a high-protein omelet for breakfast, that's perfectly fine! Similarly, if you want to order more sweet high-protein sachets to have a salad of allowed vegetables and a high-protein dessert for lunch, you have the freedom to do so.

All the previous recommendations are actually averages. For example, on average, a woman whose ideal weight is 65 kilos will need to consume 5 high-protein sachets per day during level 1, the strict protein diet.

Here's how to calculate your own protein needs:

• Calculating protein needs during level 1, the strict protein diet:

Start the calculation using your ideal weight as a reference, regardless of your current weight. During the strict protein diet, you will need to consume 1.5 grams of protein per kilo of ideal weight.

If your ideal weight is 65 kilos, then you will need 97.5 grams of protein daily.
→ 65 x 1.5 = 97.5 grams of protein

• Calculating the number of high-protein sachets to take during the strict protein diet:

The Cétofine 21 high-protein sachets contain 18 grams of high biological value protein each. Divide the total amount of protein needed (previous calculation) by 18. In this example, this equals 5.42 sachets per day.
→ 97.5 / 18 = 5.42 high-protein sachets

Rounding to the nearest whole number, you will take 5 sachets per day, preferably distributed as follows:

• 1 high-protein sachet in the morning for breakfast
• 1 sachet as a snack at 10 AM
• 1 sachet at noon for lunch
• 1 sachet as a snack at 4 PM
• 1 sachet in the evening for dinner

During the first 2 days of the high-protein diet, if you feel hungry, you can have an additional high-protein sachet. This sensation decreases as your body produces ketone bodies.

We invite you to visit our page on how the high-protein diet works to understand why the feeling of hunger disappears very quickly if you follow the high-protein diet program correctly.

We invite you to adjust your consumption of high-protein sachets according to your personal needs! Don't hesitate to contact our Cétofine 21 weight loss advisors if you need help with any of the previous steps. We would be delighted to help you achieve your weight loss goal.
