Fulfilled or just Full of it?

Fulfillment - we all look for it, but some of us are looking to keep fulfilled in terms of our appetite without gaining those extra pounds.  GNC has developed be-Fulfilled, a shake mix that is meant to control appetite and help you manage your diet effectively while still getting the nutrients you need.  But is it legit?

be-Fulfilled Formula

This shake is pretty high in protein, contributing about 18% daily value.  This aspects of a shake mix is great as you get protein and other nutrients without excess carbs.  Other ingredients here are mainly basic vitamins, including

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Calcium
• Vitamin E
• Thiamin
• Niacin
• Vitamin B-6
• Folic Acid
• B-12
• Biotin
• Pantothenic Acid
• Phosphorous

These vitamins average about 20% of your daily need, which isn’t bad. It isn’t really as much as you would get from a regular daily vitamin, but not bad.

be-Fulfilled Value

As this is GNC we are talking about here, we couldn’t expect to pay bottom dollar for whatever is in the product, but here I am sad to say the value is actually relatively low. Each shake mix costs you over $2.  This is quite a lot to pay considering you could get the same nutrients if you just bought the vitamins and protein separately.  It might be a little more hassle, but it would be cheaper.  Basically, I’m saying that this doesn’t really offer anything to reduce appetite, so you are looking at a slightly over-priced vitamin/protein shake.

be-Fulfilled Worth a Shot?

Basically I am left….well, unfulfilled with what I see here.  The ingredients are good but don’t give you enough dosage to call the shake a good value.  As well, this doesn’t really over any evidence on its being able to reduce appetite or be a really effective meal-replacement.  Sure, you’ll probably lose weight if you eat only this for a meal, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good value.  You can always spend less to eat less.  I don’t recommend it.
