Many of us constantly strive to reach our “ideal” weights, while navigating soccer carpools, business trips and bedtime stories often get in the way of our achieving results. Healthy eating on the go and exercising suffer when schedules become busier, and sorting through the plethora of products and services in the market proves an overwhelming, time-consuming effort in itself. Now with the help of innovative products from underWAY and Smart for Life, we may finally achieve those ever-elusive weight loss goals.
The underWAY supplement drink, infused with a special HeroFiber and heart-healthy vitamins, works naturally to suppress your appetite and quench your thirst. One bottle delivers 9 grams of fiber nutrition, nearly one-third of our daily recommended allowance. It contains no preservatives, sodium or caffeine, with only 10 calories and 2 grams of carbs per 8 oz. serving. The soluble dietary fiber helps maintain normal levels of cholesterol, glucose and insulin and promotes slower absorption so we feel fuller longer.
Smart for Life Cookies offer great snacking on the go, containing necessary nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids and HeroFiber, with zero trans fat and making you feel fuller quicker. Adopting a new 7-meals-per-day schedule featuring 6 cookies plus a balanced dinner allows your body to maintain steady blood sugar and glucose levels, and to burn more fat for a longer portion of the day. For variety, Smart for Life also offers soups, shakes and bagels.

Here’s what MotherTalk reviewers are saying about underWAY and Smart for Life:
Motherhood Moment says: “The concept of Smart for Life is simple: eat cookies and lose weight. They are specially formulated cookies that are high protein and fiber to keep you feeling full. The products are all natural and are made with 60% organic ingredients.”
Suzy Q Homemaker says: “It was all delicious and although I don’t believe I could follow a diet plan as outlined by the Smart for Life website, I already bought a package of the drinks when I ran out of the samples they sent. I can see myself eating the cookies for breakfast, too. They’re so yummy!!”
OTC Soukii says: “My result: I lost 5 pounds the week I tried the products and included 4 workouts at my gym.”
kirida reviews says: “The cupcakes were very tasty and much bigger than I had imagined. They were little cups that had a warm and rich taste. Often cupcakes are more flighty, tasty but without the substance that keeps me hungry for more. They were filling and sweet, a perfect way to introduce anyone to this diet.”
The Plus Size Mommy says: “I can DEFINITELY say that in my experience I have noticed my need to eat has been a lot less. Also, I can say in my experience this past week I have lost 4 pounds!”
Hip Mama’s Place says: “I have trouble controlling my eating these days and underWAY supplement drinks could be my answer to naturally suppress my appetite! And, it’s really a thirst quencher too. I love the Acai-Pomegranate flavor the best!”
BBMReview says: “Their drinks, underWAY, taste great! They come in three flavors and contain HeroFiber, whose name makes me giggle and imagine a drink bottle in superhero clothing. And since I am a no caffeine girl, I love that it’s a decaf choice.”
Dagmar’s momsense says: “The drinks work to naturally suppress your appetite, and I have to say that I was skeptic but they did seem to curb my appetite and I liked the flavors.”
Life is like champagne… says: “I tried the Grape and the Acaci-Pomegranate drinks and both flavors were refreshing and did not have that sweet after taste that you often get with supplement drinks. My favorite was the Acaci-Pomegranate as it was light, and a nice flavor. I was surprised how it did make me feel full for a long time.”
Dragonflies ‘n Daydreams says: “I fell in LOVE with the Chocolate Mountain Cupcakes. Can you spell Y-U-M-M-Y? Oh just thinking about them make me wanna go in there and eat one. ”
KatyShops says: “Conclusion – these are a great way for a busy person to keep their diet in check. They do all of the thinking for you – you just eat.”
Fictionary says: “What’s more, its unique ingredients stimulate your stomach, telling your brain you’ve consumed more calories that you really have which, with underWAY, is almost zero!”
Taylortots, Aprilcots and MEH says: “That being said, I quite liked the underWAY appetite suppressing beverage. I’m a grazer and a snacker, and this drink was the perfect thing to grab about 3:00 every afternoon to quell my munchiness until dinner.”
Peekaboo says: “If you are looking for an easy to follow program, where you don’t have to count calories or worry about meal preparations, then I would say give the Smart for Life diet a shot. I may just have to order some more of the products myself!”
Adrienne’s House says: “There were many sweets offered, some “cupcakes” and some Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.”
Mommy’s Must Haves says: “All of these products are designed to work together, with the solid foods being interchangeable in the diet to provide some variety.”
1stopmom says: “They are made to satisfy your hunger while helping you gain control over your cravings throughout the day. They did that for me. Six cookies come in a package that you eat every two hours or when you feel hungry. I am a big snack person so this is perfect for me. Just remember to warm them up in the microwave.”
MommyMandy says: “I do like the idea of the products have a normal lever of glucose and insulin because I know how important it is to not consume too much because your body can’t handle too much glucose and insulin.”
Everyday Linasea says: “One of the great things about the cookies and the cupcakes is that they’re very portable. I threw a few in a baggie, stuck them in my purse and ran off to gymnastics and swimming lessons. Kept me away from the snack bar!”
Lille Pumkin’ Reviews says: “My favorite is the carrot muffin — they were like a tiny carrot cake. A little dry right out of the package, the directions recommend that you microwave it for a few seconds for the best flavor, and I agree. With 10 seconds in the micro, they came out soft, warm, and the frosting very gooey. These were delish!”
Family Briefs says: “In one bottle of underWAY beverage, you get the equivalent of 9 grams of fiber in only 20 calories! You feel fuller and snack less. What’s more, the bottles are two servings, so I drank half between breakfast and lunch, and the other half between lunch and dinner WITHOUT SNACKING!”
Gloria’s Place says: “The Acai-Pomegranate drinks were absolutely delicious. So were the Smart For Life chocolate chip cookies. I really enjoyed eating these for a late night snack and having one between each meal or instead of a meal.”
The Greer 5 says: “While it’s hard to illustrate a thought on a drink, the best I can do is it taste wonderful.”
The Champagne Living says: “…if you tend to overeat from hunger, these can be a great way to help lose those extra pounds.”
Musings from Me says: “We liked that the products were packaged in small packs. The size of the package was small enough for me to eat in 2 days or the whole family to eat in one sitting.”
Watch Us Grow! says: “Now, I didn’t follow the cookie diet program. But guess what? I still lost 2 lbs over the course of time I was testing these products! Made me wonder what would happen if I really did stick to the diet.”
Mom of 2 Dancers Reviews says: “I took one to drink on the way to working at a Tigers baseball game yesterday. If the games are busy, it is really hard to find the time to take a break to eat something. Since we are near food at all times, it is really hard not to want to eat! The Underway drink totally took away my hunger. It was pretty cool! I also tend to get hungry around 10 or 11 at night. I’m more of a night person, but have heard eating late is bad for you. The Underway takes away those night cravings! This product is really cool.”
Dana Reviews says: “My husband tried the Momma’s Chicken Noodle soup and loved it! He said it was the best “diet” soup he’d ever tasted. And the Smart Bagels are so darn good. I wish I had two packages of those!”
ECing and Attachment Parenting says: “My favorite of all of them were the chocolate chip cookies. They were soft, and when eat them and drank one of the under-WAY waters at the same time, they were not only edible, but pretty yummy.”
Homeschool Parent says: “I have never found “diet food” to be particularly yummy, but so far everything I’ve tasted has been super yummy! I especially liked the shakes and the carrot sunshine cupcakes.”
The Parents with Style says: “Easy for a busy bee who feels they don’t have time to make healthy food from scratch. While I was taste testing all of these foods, I figured that they would all taste like cardboard. Well, I was wrong they actually had a nice flavor and were easy to eat.”
Cuddle Cottage says: “Before you start feeling awful for me and my endless cycle of failed diets, let me tell you about a breakthrough in this sad cycle. I’ve shed a several pounds over the last week and a half! I am so excited! My will power cannot take all (actually any) of the credit. I have had help in the form of some great products from underWAY and Smart for Life.”
