    Right up front, no AI here. I've used Ka'Chava for the past year. Its great by itself or blending fruits, veggies, honey etc with it. I don't get hungry, and if I do then its helped to make healthier snacking choices so its also helped to create better habits. I look and feel better, my ski is clearer and my energy is good throughout the day. One of the reasons I decided to buy it was I needed more energy on the last 4 holes or so of my golf game. It has also helped with the same after workouts. When it helped me do that I signed up for a subscription & haven't looked back. U can't put a price on your health. Regarding your review, its not really a review until U buy it and try it. Its an excellent product & I recommended it.

    I have been using Ka'Chava for a few months and also eating the keto food bars. I must say I have really enjoyed how convenient it is. Before, I wasn't really eating breakfast or if I was it was a lot of carbs or doughnuts. Ka'Chava has helped me lose weight. I do like the taste of the shakes and food bars. I drink the shake in the morning and it only take a few minutes to prepare and wash the blender. Sometimes I am able to skip lunch and eat dinner. However, whatever I do it's allowed me to cut way down on my carb intake and enabled me to lose around 20 pounds in 2 months. I have used it for weight loss, another person could use it to gain muscle. Anyway, I wanted to throw in my 2 cents and say that I really like the product.

And, usually, I don’t mind a product being expensive, as it is, but it has to do what it says it’s going to do. But, I didn’t know that you will need “TWO” bags a month.

    Thanks for the review. I just started drinking this. I've been eating sugary cereal for breakfast all my life and this is my attempt to get away from that junk. It's definitely not a meal replacement. By 10am I am starved and can't make it until lunch time to eat something. And, for some reason it gives me stomach pain. I found out if I eat something with it the pain is not as bad. I'll use it for a couple of months and decide if I want to continue or not. It is rather expensive. The other thing good about using this is that it's mixed with 17oz of water first thing in the morning and I'm pretty hydrated.

    I have recently been massively improving my diet and have been looking at products like Ka’Chava, Ritual Multivitamins, and AG1 to help as a backup plan if I miss anything in my meal plan.
    Seeing this video has made me want to take a step back and ask you a question. Do you know where I can find resources or more information about finding out my bodies nutritional needs?
    I want to construct a plan so that I eventually only need these supplements as a emergency but I don’t know where to start on my health journey. Any help is appreciated thank you 🙏

    @elmarty4803 5 місяців тому +2

    I tried this and I actually felt full for most of the morning. Contrast that with trying to eat something or take a self made protein shake. I think it is a good product and I generally felt better taking it. I tried Huel and it was also good but much like its reviews said, I felt hungry within an hour of ingesting it. I did not feel the food craving with Kchava and maybe because I am generally busier in the morning but It did feel like a quality product. The taste and fixability was good as well. I also saw several other videos of people who were much more active than me and they felt they weren't getting enough nutrients. I am below moderately active in my opinion and it worked fine for me. Although I am on the shorter side and dont have a lot of strenuous activity during the day. So I think it depends on your body type and how you normally would get your intake. I really like how you pointed out some of the decencies and I think I saw it before but this was a helpful reminder. I just couldn't get over the cost of the product and felt if they lowered the price it would bring more people in. Of course that is just based on how I felt about it, others may feel differently. Thank you for you effort on this one!

    Pros & Cons, dosing, preparation/processing. Good info and true finding: it's marketed as a meal replacement, which it is not... it's basically a liquid snack, so if you like $4 liquid snacks... it might be a better option than a frappé at Starbucks.

    • @JAYBLAK00
      @JAYBLAK00 Рік тому +5

      A four dollar liquid snack?? Funny. I think it’s a great replacement for breakfast where most people consume, sugars, fats and bad carbs. Meal replacement is a subjective term. I say most Americans would do really well having Kachava first thing in the morning, then a more full-bodied lunch, ending with a sensible dinner. That alone will make anyone lean out and get a ton of ingredients they wouldn’t get on a consistent basis.

      @brandonbellino8896 Рік тому +15

      But that's literally not how fasting works. Once you consume anything with calories, sugars, carbs etc your fast is broken and your body begins metabolizing it, which is why you're only supposed to drink water, black coffee, etc while in a fast. So if you're drinking it "for your intermittent fasting" then you're failing at it lol.

      Not just a protein powder, it’s a full meal replacement. Pricey yes it is but if your goal of to lose weight and get a-lot of natural ingredients, it’s a great option. Plus you can get the product cheaper electing for renewal of the product and push out the next shipment as long as you want. Not saying other options aren’t as good because I haven’t found them, but $59.99 isn’t bad at all to me

    Hi there. I love this protein shake. I add kale, spinach, berries, and various liquids. It’s a great way for me to get extra vegetables and the protein as I am vegan. This is not causation but I will say that since starting this and adding vegetables my cholesterol is now normal and my A1C is normal. The coconut açaí is really good if you want to add berries. It’s amazing. I do still take my multivitamin and vitamin D, omega etc. if you have the money go for it. If you don’t, get pea protein from another cheaper brand and add vegetables and fruit! ❤

      Make sure you're not getting too much oxolates from raw fruits and veggies, and unsoaked nuts. Weston Price foundation has good info on how to properly prepare food so our bodies can break it down. Kale and other raw greens, berries and unsoaked nuts are notorious for eventually causing kidney stones from the high oxalate content.

    Thank you for your video and information. I do have question to what think about these protein shakes or meal replacement shakes for those with IBS issues. Reason I ask is because sometimes after having a IBS issue you really don't want anything really heavy to upset your stomach/bowels. Hope that makes sense to you. Also I am wondering if you have or could you review a product from garden of life raw organic protein and greens formula and believe there is also one labeled raw organic meal replacement. Appreciate your time and feedback!

    • @TawnyaHansenMDMSc
      @TawnyaHansenMDMSc  Рік тому +1

      @jessicagalvin363 Thank you for your comment! I'll add that to my list!
      With IBS, it can be hard to predict what is going to set your bowel off. The issue with supplements is that the supplement makers don't have to rigorously report what they put in their supplements because supplements don't go through FDA approval. So it's possible that you read the label and everything looks good to you but once you try the product, you develop symptoms (from some unlabelled ingredient). If your IBS is very stable and you've had a lot of trouble in the past, I would limit the experimentation to be honest or at least keep it super simple. If the benefit to be gained from a product outweighs a possible flare up of your IBS then go ahead and try it. If I was going to try a new product then I would make sure that the week I try the supplement that I only eat the foods that my body agrees with - that way I don't need to wonder if it was the supplement or the meal that I had out that week for example. I would also do it during a week where things are more situationally stable - like not during a week of travel or a week where I have a work deadline. You should also ask your medical provider what they think since they know your situation the best. I hope this was sort of helpful!

    Many nutritionalists posting the donside of meal replacement drinks miss one fact that there might be people who might be seeking as occasional quick replacement for missed meals and then snacking on icecreams, cookies, etc.
    Like I eat whole foods and self cooked food with nuts every day and trying to loose weight.
    But due to my profession(software Dev) there are days when I can't even move from my chair and sometimes don't have the grocessries at home. And those days can extend to multiple days at times.
    During those time I seek such a meal replacement options that do not given me insuline spike and run my hard work at the gym of the previous weeks. Additionally fuel me to keep up with work and an unanticipated quick visit to the gym in between busy schedules.

      @brookestarly5290 Thank you for your comment! The main issue that I have with the product is that it's marketed as a meal replacement when it really isn't. If someone listens to the marketing and then takes the drink the way that it is recommended, they likely won't feel full - this results in them thinking that something is wrong with themselves rather than seeing the product for what it is. You're excited about trying the product and you'll be adding to it so I don't think you need to go spend your money on another product!

    Wait... I thought you tried it. Wha??? I've been taking this for some time now and I think it's great. It makes me feel great, it tastes great and there are other channels that have people actually try it over a period of time and the reviews are pretty good. I got my friend on it and she loves it as well. Even if you're not trying to replace a meal, it is still a great healthy shake you can have daily, or if you're dieting, you can have as a nice dessert shake.

      @jacoblucas1408 Thank you for your comment! I haven't heard of Huel. I will have to check it out! The main issue that I have with the product is that it's marketed as a meal replacement when it really isn't. If someone listens to the marketing and then takes the drink the way that it is recommended, they likely won't feel full - this results in them thinking that something is wrong with themselves rather than seeing the product for what it is. I don't have a problem with meal replacements inherently - there are different seasons in life where you may not be able to eat whole food to meet your needs. I think we all just need to strive towards trying to make sure that we do the best we can with our diets. Also, I don't like it when claims are out of proportion or misleading especially if these things make the consumer feel unnecessarily bad about themselves.

      Huel is a meal replacement at 40g of protein and 400 cals/ serving. It tastes terrible and I'm not picky at all ( I usually think most protein shakes are pretty good). It keeps my spouse full for about 4 hours and it keeps me from waking up hungry when I take it at night after dinner( I am pregnant and when I eat dinner alone though balanced I wake up hungry and nauseous).

      @maxinemurello242 Thank you for your comment! See how it goes. If that doesn't work, to start, I would try decreasing fructose intake (i.e. fruit smoothies), limiting simple carbohydrates, not drinking any calories, and then incorporating some zone 2 exercise 3 times a week (work up to at least 45 min sessions). I know you aren't very active but look up the metabolic benefits of zone 2 training and see what you think. Exercise alone isn't the most effective tool to loose weight but it comes with a whole bunch of other health benefits. Of course, clear all of this with your doctor first. The above isn't going to be fully personalized to you since I don't know anything about you but I hope my response is somewhat helpful!

    I generally eat breakfast on the go. It costs me between $9-$22 a day. Usually it’s a big breakfast with hotcakes at McDonald’s or eggs, home fries, bacon, & Cuban bread. Kachava at $4 is like a gift from God for someone like me! Even when I cook healthier at home it still costs me about $5 a meal and takes 15 mins and I still don’t get that range of ingredients.
    It seems to me like you had a prejudice viewpoint about the product, especially saying that putting all of hose vitamins in is basically them trying too hard. Well everyone has an opinion.

I am also a pure vegetarian eat no meats, nor processed foods and I am also a dietitian. So my diet was fine until I saw weight gain with Kachava. When I quit the Kachava I lost 7 lbs. so I was not drinking it to loose weight I was drinking because of the good stuff in it but it packed on weight not only for me but my sister in law as well

    Kachava is the greatest thing that I have purchased. I don't think about calories and never think something is going to "make me lose weight" I think of the food I eat in terms like " Is this full of good ingredients" and the losing weight / feeling great everyday is a by product. I don't like the negativity in this review . Kachava has boosted my daily mood and life up 100% . I mix mine with coconut cream (that is high in claories and a bit of stevia ) and make daily icecream in a blender. I have not gained any weight and feel great. I spend about 20% less money / month on food now even ordering 3 bags / month from kachava at the 4 $ per meal. Everyone drinking Kachava is adding stuff to it and using it as a flavor vehicle. Its good on its own but treat it like chicken . Wow the karen is strong here.

    I think the mistake that a lot of people tend to make is simply looking at calories vs how the food is structured. This is also actually fairly high in carbs. The Chocolate, for example, is 25 total carbs, 16 net carbs, 7 sugars 6 added. I was really surprised to find that the Chai and Matcha were actually higher (17 net carbs) than the chocolate or vanilla.
    In terms of overall nutrition, it's not horrible, and definitely falls into the "lesser of two evils" category compared to a lot of foods. In terms of weight loss, unless you're actually using this as a meal replacement for at least one of your day's meals, you're probably not going to notice a major difference.

      @vanessa8747 thank you for your question! My general approach to weight loss is not to drink any calories. For example, It’s much easier to drink an 800 calorie smoothie (and not feel satisfied) than it is to eat 800 calories (chicken breast, veggies, etc). So unfortunately I don’t have any specific product recommendations for you.
