IMPORTANT Safety Information
KicStart™ VLCD shakes and soups
Before you start any new exercises or
increase your level of physical activity, please
check with your GP or specialist first. They
will determine if the additional activity or
exercises are safe for you based on your
health status and personal circumstances.
It is very important that you only do exercises
within your physical capabilities. Exercises
should not be difficult or cause you to be
breathless – take your time.
Some minor discomfort may be experienced
during some of the exercises or stretches.
It is important that you do not continue
exercising with increasing pain, or pain that is
moderate to severe.
Dietary Precautions
The protein used in the manufacture of
KicStart™ is primarily dairy based therefore
the shakes and soups do contain naturally
occurring lactose. Those who have mild
lactose intolerance or sensitivity (indications
may include loose stools, bloating or
cramping after drinking a large glass of milk)
may be able to utilise a lactase supplement.
Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down
lactose and a supplement of these enzymes
such as Lacteeze™ tablets can assist in
reducing symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Please discuss the available options with your
local pharmacist.
For those diagnosed with coeliac disease,
please be advised that the KicStart™
shakes are gluten free (no gluten detected
to a sensitivity of 5ppm).
The KicStart™ soups however do contain
gluten (detectable at 80ppm) and should not
be used by those with a gluten intolerance or
allergy.

specific dietary guidelines (eg. low protein,
dairy free, gluten free, nut free etc) or if you
