About Us
Medical Vita Diet Background
Since 1987
In 1987, Vita Tech launched the Medical Vita Diet, which is based on the ‘protein sparing modified fast’, designed by doctors as a highly successful treatment for obesity. Obesity was regarded as a serious medical condition in 1987 and the Medical Vita Diet was initially supplied only through medical centres under medical supervision.
The first doctor to launch the Medical Vita Diet in 1987 was Dr Colin Holloway, M.B.B.Ch., D.T.M.& H., Dip.Obst.R.C.O.G., F.R.A.C.G.P., an international speaker on weight loss and health related topics. He achieved outstanding success with his patients and was so impressed that he opened a further 5 weight loss and nutrition clinics in Queensland, using the Medical Vita Diet. He has also published a Guide to the Medical Vita Diet program in several editions for the original benefit of his doctors and patients.
In the past decade, Vita Tech P/L has trained pharmacists and other health professionals to supply the program and they too have achieved great results, working in close co-operation with the customers’ own doctors where necessary. The company’s growth has been largely organic, from word of mouth recommendations.
Since 2004, the company has experienced huge growth under the direction of GM Charles Dornan, a human resources business graduate who is also a master personal trainer. He believes that the Medical Vita Diet program brings lasting benefits not just in terms of weight loss, but also in educating people about healthier lifestyles, including exercise.
According to Nutrition Australia (2000), 70% of Australians will be above their healthy weight range by 2010. After its decades of proven achievement with the Medical Vita Diet, Vita Tech’s mission today is to reduce the growing obesity epidemic by making its weight loss program readily available to anyone who needs it.

The Program
How does the Vita Diet weight loss program work?
The Vita Diet weight loss program works by controlling the amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats a person consumes each day. With the aim of getting the body to start using its own body fat as a source of energy, resulting in weight loss. This is achieved by using any of the gluten free Vita Diet Shakes, Soups, Bars or Desserts to replace two meals per day, usually breakfast or lunch, and a third meal can be made from the Vita Diet food allowance list which includes proteins, unlimited vegetables, low carb fruit and much more. The Vita Diet program is designed to be easy to follow with the 5 daily steps and unlimited snacking list.
The Vita Diet 5 Simple Steps?
- Have any 2 Vita Diet supplements (Shakes, soups, bars or desserts) a day to replace either breakfast, lunch or dinner. The preference is yours.
- For your 3rd meal of the day prepare a main meal from the Vita Diet food allowance list. This can be found in the Vita Diet Usage Guide.
- Drink up to 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. (Herbal teas count)
- Walk for a minimum of 30 minutes or 10,000 steps most days of the week.
- Perform a Ketone test (Optional)
Whilst individual results vary from person to person, if you follow these five daily steps with the Vita Diet, you can lose up to 3kgs in your first week and up to 1 – 1.5kgs for every other week you stay on the program.
Does it really make you lose weight?
Yes it certainly does. The combination of the Vita Diet supplements and eating plan forces the body to go into a mild stage of Ketosis and is the reason why the weight loss results are so quick.
Ketosis
Turn your body into a fat burning machine!
What is Ketosis?
When you restrict your carbohydrate intake on the Vita Diet program, after a certain amount of time your body will naturally use its backup energy, starting with the excess glucose stored in the liver and muscles, which is known as glycogen and then will move onto your fat stores. When fat is used for energy, your body produces ketones and this process is known as Ketosis. The Vita Diet weight loss program is designed to promote a mild ketosis safely and effectively. There are also Vita Diet ketone sticks available which indicates a person’s level of ketosis.
Vita Diet Ketone Sticks
After 2 to 3 days of starting the Vita Diet program and by sticking to the simple steps, you can start performing a daily ketone check. Use a specimen container, disposable cup or urinate directly on the coloured part of the test strip when you first wake up.
While testing, wait 15 seconds for the ketone test strip pad to change colour. Read the results carefully in good light. Compare the colour of the ketone test strip pad to the colour chart on the side of the Vita Diet ketone stick container.
As there are other variables, results should be used as an indication only and not definitive.

So first, read…

The Vita Diet usage guide outlines the 5 simple steps and instructions to the program, plus it has the allowed food list you can have while on the weight loss program. If followed correctly, participants can expect to lose up to 3 kgs in their first week.
Dr Holloway’s Guide to The Medical Vita Diet
The guide was originally written back in 1987 to assist doctors with their patients. It covers everything from weight loss to maintenance and will give you a complete understanding of the Vita Diet.
Now you have a good understanding of why and how the program works, planning ahead will really help you make your weight loss goal a reality.
Plan your meals for the week.
Benefits of planning your meals for the week include;
- Each day you will know what you are having for dinner and therefore you won’t be tempted to break your diet with, for example; a sneaky uber eats delivery or that meat pie for lunch from the fast food truck.
- Those with families will be able to plan the meals so everyone is happy.
- Will help with grocery shopping.
Don’t run out of Vita Diet
One of the biggest reasons people go off our program, is they accidentally run out of their Vita Diet supplements. Due to Covid, slow delivery times and stock shortages in pharmacies can occur. Therefore, when running low, maybe increase your topup supply of your favourites to avoid disappointment.
Speak to your local pharmacy, doctor or contact the Vita Diet head office.
