Frequently Asked Questions

Weight Management

1. How should i26 FIT be used for weight management?

The i26 FIT shake is a state-of-the-art meal alternative perfect for anyone seeking effective weight management.  Each i26 FIT shake is a tasty, high-protein, low-carbohydrate, low-fat, high-fiber formulation, which contains a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals.  It will help you have more energy, feel full for hours, and help you control your carb cravings.  Plus, the i26 FIT Plan includes a variety of other tools for successful weight management, including EICO-BALANCE™ for increased energy and fat burning and the exclusive i26 FIT exercise program to help make exercising easier.

2. Is the i26 FIT shake just for weight management?

No. The i26 FIT shake is a state-of-the-art meal alternative perfect for anyone seeking the ultimate nutrition in one healthy, convenient product. Plus, it is the only food of its kind with Legacy for Life's exclusive, patented i26 to help optimize immune health.

3. Is i26 FIT good for athletes?

Yes. When mixed with non-fat milk, the i26 FIT shake provides 28 grams of top quality protein that is important for building muscle and increasing strength, making it an excellent tool for athletes.

4. I want to reduce calories; can I mix my i26 FIT shake with water instead of milk?

The i26 FIT shake has been formulated to provide a particular ratio of nutrients, using non-fat milk as the carrier. While you can mix your i26 FIT shake with water, it will not provide the intended level of nutrition, including the proper ratio of fats, carbohydrates and protein. When mixed with non-fat milk, i26 FIT provides a full, balanced complement of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber, especially when consumed with two capsules of EICO-BALANCE for the added benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids.

5. I don't care for the thickness of i26 FIT. What can I do?

Just stir or blend your i26 FIT until it reaches your desired consistency. The longer you blend your shake, the creamier it becomes. Also, if you are using i26 FIT as a snack, you may want to use one scoop of powder versus two.

6. Why use i26 FIT if I don't have a weight problem and I'm not interested in sports?

Many people run all day long and simply don't have the time for nutritious meals. i26 FIT offers complete nutrition for any active lifestyle plus all of the added benefits of i26 to keep you healthy and performing at your peak.

7. Why is exercise such an important part of the i26 FIT Weight Management Plan?

Exercise plays an important role in preserving lean muscle mass and selective fat loss when following a weight management program. Muscles burn calories. Body fat does not. So it follows that the more lean muscle you have, and the less fat, the more calories you will burn during physical activity.

8. I've followed the Plan, used two shakes a day and exercised every day. I'm still not losing weight. What can I do?

Perhaps the problem is that you are starving yourself and not getting enough of the healthy calories your body needs. When this happens, your body thinks there isn't enough food around and keeps all of your fat reserves to protect you from starving. If you are consuming two i26 FIT shakes each day, make sure you also eat at least one full, nutritious meal.

9. Can I take i26 FIT instead of i26 COMPLETE SUPPORT or i26 Powder?

i26 FIT is designed to act as a nutritious meal option.  It is an excellent tool for people trying to manage their weight or just leading a busy lifestyle.  While i26 FIT does include a serving of i26, it was not designed to replace other, more focused i26 products.  Therefore, we recommend consuming an additional 1-2 servings of i26 in any of its forms separately from i26 FIT.

10. Is i26 FIT safe for diabetics?

Yes. i26 FIT is especially useful for diabetics because of its high protein, low carbohydrate formulation that contains less than one gram of sugar per Shake. Plus, each i26 FIT shake contains a serving of i26, which helps support the immune system and, in turn, help the body maintain hormonal balance. The care of a physician, regular exercise, making proper food selections and consuming i26 FIT can make a significant contribution to the quality of life of individuals trying to control their sugar intake.

11. Why isn't Stevia used as a natural sweetener in i26 FIT?

At Legacy for Life, the health and safety of our products is of the utmost concern. Presently, there is not enough data supporting the safety of Stevia in food and it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food additive. However, there is the possibility that Stevia may be introduced into the States sometime in the coming years at which time, Legacy for Life may evaluate it as an alternative sweeter to include in our formulation.
