How to Prepare your TDR Soups and Shakes

During the Total Diet Replacement (TDR) phase of your programme, you will need to consume four TDR products (shakes or soups) per day.

These four products provide all the essential macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) your body needs each day.

It is important to have all four products daily. Consuming fewer than this may increase the risk of nutritional deficiencies.

Each TDR product contains approximately 200 kcal, giving a total daily intake of 800 kcal.

To prepare your soups/shakes

• One soup/shake is made using two scoops of powder in 200ml of water.
• One scoop of TDR powder weighs 26g. A full serving made of two scoops will weigh 52g.
• Shake the tub before filling the scoop.
• Scoop the powder from the top of the tub and shake off any excess powder from the scoop.
• Use level scoops only. Do not use heaped scoopfuls or compress the powder down.
• Take four products per day (four products made with two scoops each, totalling eight scoops per day).

Please refer to the website and back of pack details for more information on preparation and portioning.

Please do not start TDR before your agreed TDR start date. This will be a date after your first session.

If you have been taking your TDR incorrectly, please notify your Diabetes Practitioner.
