A major problem facing a person who is to follow a newly prescribed diet is reforming existing eating habits and implementing the required discipline needed to form new eating habits. This difficulty presents the problem of non-compliance with the newly prescribed diet. Typically, when a new diet is prescribed to a patient, the patient must learn which foods are now required and which foods are prohibited. Furthermore, the user must pay attention to the amounts of allowed foods that can be ingested and learn not to duplicate ingested food. This is a lengthy process that is generally met with many pitfalls until the new diet becomes second nature. In this regard the person following a diet usually records what has been eaten as it is consumed during the day but frequently recording items consumed is overlooked, and the question arises as to what was or is to be consumed. A particularly difficult affliction is lactose intolerance whereby the user is unable to ingest and break down lactose in to the simple sugar glucose. Persons with lactose intolerance have a problem with lactose, a form of sugar usually found in dairy products. Therefore it is desirable to provide a dietary supplement that provides the necessary caloric and nutritional requirements to a user while preventing any adverse reaction due to the presence of any allergens, more specifically for persons afflicted with lactose intolerance. This invention relates generally to dietary supplements, and more specifically to a substantially lactose free, controlled calorie dietary supplement. The dietary supplement includes a plurality of vitamins and minerals in a predetermined amount in combination with essential amino acids that, in combination with the vitamins and minerals provides necessary calories to a user. The dietary supplement is non-allergenic and designed specifically to avoid the sensitivity to lactose typically found in men and women by obtaining all ingredients from non-dairy sources. As attorney for the inventor of the innovative new Lactose Free Dietary Supplement we are currently seeking investors and manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

When forming the dietary supplement of the present invention, it is necessary to mix together each of the amino acid element, the mineral element, the vitamin element and the further element with a binding element. This binding element includes at least one of water, soy milk, fruit juice, rice milk and vegetable juice. The amount of binding element should be in range of substantially 8 ounces to substantially 24 ounces. The use of the binding element provides additional nutritional value from a non-lactose based source and further provides the feeling of fullness to a user who is using the dietary supplement of the present invention as part of a diet or as a meal replacement therapy. |

| FIGURE 5 FIGURE 5 is a flow diagram detailing the selective customization of the dietary supplement of the present invention. The dietary supplement of the present invention is selectively customizable to suit an individuals dietary requirements as determined by at least one of the user and a treatment professional such as a nutritionist and/or a doctor. This flow diagram details the process of creating a specifically tailored dietary supplement of the present invention. The process begins in step S100 whereby the user obtains and/or reviews a prescribed diet. The reasons for having specialty diets are numerous and the dietary supplement of the present invention can be utilized with any prescribed diet. However, the dietary supplement is particularly useful as a hypoallergenic alternative for a user with lactose intolerance. Upon the review in step S100, step S102 makes a determination whether the prescribed diet requires that the supplement be taken with additional food. If the diet does not require additional food, or in the other words, the diet is a meal replacement program, we are directed in step S103 to the process which will be discussed hereinafter with specific reference to Figure 6. If the prescribed diet in step S100 requires ingesting additional food sources, step S104 requires that the user determine the nutritional content of each respective piece of individual food to be eaten as part of the diet. This determination is to be made by the user using a food nutrition source. This source may be found in print or on the internet. However, it is preferable to obtain a quick reference guide outlining the nutritional content of many common foods, and specifically foods that are substantially lactose free. Upon making the determination, the user in step S106 selects a predetermined amount of non-dairy based elements as outlined above in the discussion regarding Figures 1 - 4. These elements are then combined to form a first supplement for a first meal in step S108. The supplement is then ingested along with the additional food source. Based on the creation of the first supplement for the first meal in step S108, amounts of elements for a further supplement is automatically determined using predetermined guidelines based on nutritional and caloric requirements in step S110. This further supplement is then created based on these guidelines to be ingested with a further meal. Thereafter, in step S112 requires a determination if any other meals are to be eaten by the user. If not, the process repeats beginning at step S104 whereby nutritional content of the food is determined prior to creation of the supplement. However, if there is at least one other meal, the process returns to step S110 which then repeats the creation of a further supplement this time based on predetermined rules. If the determination in step S112 results in an affirmative answer, the predetermined rules used to create a further supplement are then applied in a manner to consider the at least one of the first created supplement and first further supplement prior to creation of a second further supplement to be taken with a second further meal. The process outlined in Figure 5 is particularly advantageous in that the process takes into account the variety of additional foods and the predetermined rules allow for the user to automatically create additional supplements that are based at least in part on previous meals and supplements ingested by the user. This allows the user to acclimate themselves to the newly prescribed diet in a rapid and efficient manner while insuring that the user is fulfilling all nutritional and caloric requirements. |

| FIGURE 6 FIGURE 6 is a flow diagram detailing an alternate embodiment of the selective customization of the dietary supplement of the present invention. Figure 6 is continued from step S103 as shown in Figure 5. This process initiates at step S200 wherein a predetermined amount of at least on amino acid shown in Figure 1 in a range of substantially 85% to substantially 95% by weight. Thereafter, in step S202 Select a predetermined amount of at least vitamin shown in Figure 3 in a range of substantially 0.5% to substantially 15% by weight. Step S204 then requires that a predetermined amount of at least one mineral shown in Figure 2 in a range of substantially 0.5% to substantially 15% by weight. A predetermined amount of at least one trace element as described above in a range of substantially 0.5% to substantially 5% by weight is selected in step S206 . Thereafter, in step S208 a predetermined amount of at least one further element in a range of substantially 0.5% to substantially 15% by weight is selected. The elements selected in each of steps S200 through S208 are then combined and mixed in step S210 with a binding agent to produce a meal replacement nutritional substance. Upon creation of the meal replacement supplement, a determination is made in step S212 regarding the nutritional and caloric requirement according to the prescribed diet. If not, the process continues in step S213 where additional amounts of at least one of amino acids, Vitamins, minerals and further element to meet the nutritional and caloric requirements. Once the nutritional and caloric requirements are met in step S212, step S14 requires that the supplement be ingested at a predetermined interval. A further step is shown in S216 whereby a determination is made whether to vary the ingredients and/or amounts thereof for the supplement. If not, then the supplement is ingested as shown in step S214. However, if there is an affirmative determination made in step S216, then the process repeats beginning at step S200. |
