Have you also wondered whether it is best to eat before or after exercise? Or whether you should have your sports drink before or after exercise?
In terms of how food works: carbohydrates are digested into energy within a short span of time. Therefore, when you need an energy boost, your body will need carbohydrates. Eating a small portion of carbohydrates before exercise is useful as it will help your body to perform at its best during exercise. Examples are a small banana, 50-100ml fruit juice, or a few sips of your Herbalife shake, or a small portion of carbohydrate rich energy drink.
When carbohydrates and proteins are combined, you will get a slower, more sustainable release of energy. This is good when you are having a meal or a snack. If your meal only consists of carbohydrates, you will have an energy spike, but soon after, also an energy dip where you feel mostly crave more carbohydrates as your body needs energy. This might have you reaching for fast foods, sugary snacks etc. Therefore, for every meal and snack, always combine your carbs and proteins.
Then one also needs to deal with the amount of perspiration during your exercise. This can cause a drop in your hydration levels, which is not the optimum place for your body. The Herbalife H3O Pro Isotonic drink can be enjoyed during and after exercise to help maintain your hydration and mineral levels.
If you are already on the Herbalife weight loss programme, have a few sips of your shake before your exercise, and the rest after as a meal. If you are using the programme to gain weight, ensure that you prepare your after-exercise shake milk and added Herbalife Personalised Protein Powder.

Do you experience energy dips throughout the day? Has a steady, long-lasting energy throughout the day and evening always just been an illusion to you?
There are a few important components we need to be aware of in energy management. Firstly and most importantly, what you eat affects your energy level (or lack of energy). Meals that are too high in refined carbohydrates and low in protein can lead to a fast increase in blood sugar levels, and unfortunately, just as fast a dip in blood sugar which makes you feel less energetic.
A well balanced meal with healthy carbohydrates (such as those found in fruits, vegetables and wholegrain), coupled with lean protein (fish, chicken, eggs, non-fat dairy products, Herbalife protein powder) will help to keep your blood sugar levels more steady and will also contribute to your mental alertness.
Skipping meals is not a good idea as it will have a negative effect on your energy. Furthermore, the temptation to reach for highly refined foods out of hunger is big and might ruin all your diet intentions.
Your fitness also influences your energy through the day. A fit body tends to utilise energy better, giving you a constant energy level throughout the day and evening. And being too tired to exercise is no excuse – it is exactly that exercise that will give you more energy!
Herbalife offers you a well balanced meal with the Shapeworks Meal Replacement System. Your convenient meal in a glass is nutritionally balanced and sure to help keep your energy levels steady as you go through your day. One of the first things that the users of Herbalife will tell you is that their energy went through the roof when they started using the products. The Thermojetics Herbal Beverage is also an excellent product for more energy.
