Special nutrition product of WPF



Recommended Posts

I know it is better than nothing; especially in a disaster where there is no place to cook. The World food Programme is a very good organization of the UN that is a first responder. I was watching a program of what's happening in Haiti. I'm impressed at how the WPF gets simple food to the people.

They showed a package of energy bisquits that a person could survive on with only one package daily. Of course, this is an intervention until more food can come.

Here are the ingredients.

Quote:

What are they?

Wheat-based biscuits which provide 450kcal with a minimum of 10 grams and max of 15 grams of Protein per 100 grams, fortified in Vitamin and mineral.

When and where used?

In the first days of emergency when cooking facilities are scarce. Easy to distribute and provide a quick solution to improve the level of nutrition.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour, Hydrogenate Vegetable Shortening, Sugar, Soy flour, Invert Syrup, High fructose, Corn Syrup, Skimmed milk powder, Sodium and Ammonium, Bicarbonates, Salt, Minerals and Vitamins as : Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Iodine, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B1, B2,B6,B12b C,D,E, Niacine, Vitamin A-retinol.

Nutritional value per 100g:

Energy 450Kcal

Protein 10 to 15g

Fat 15 g

Price $0.12 per 100g packet

I say good grief on the sugar, HFCS, and hydrogenated anything. But hey, it is a survival product and short term.

Check out their other "nutrition" products.

Their Compressed Food Bars don't look to bad.

I'm not really making fun of them. I would want them around, if ever I'm in such dire need. It is just their idea of nutrition.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
