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.

The Herbalife range of weight control products can be effectively used for weight loss, weight gain as well as target weight maintenance. People often ask me how one product can do all this: the key lies in how you use and combine the products.
Your Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix (Formula 1) is your ‘food’ source. This forms the foundation of all the programmes and is an essential part of your diet. The shake is used as meal replacement or meal supplement (depending on your goal) and provides you with a nutritionally balanced meal in a glass! You can mix your Nutritional Shake Mix with low fat milk, soy milk, water or 100% fruit juice (unsweetened). It tastes great and takes only seconds to prepare. It is available in Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Tropical Fruit and Cookies & Cream flavours. Available in a 550g container. Serving size is 26g.
Add the Herbalife Personalised Protein Powder to your shake for even better results. Protein helps to build lean muscle and also helps you to stay fuller for longer. A recent study done showed that individuals who used the Protein Powder in combination with the Nutritional Shake Mix had better weight loss results than those individuals using only the Nutritional Shake Mix.
Couple these two products with the Herbalife Multivitamin and Fibre & herb tablets for best results.
There is a vast range of further Herbalife products that you can use, depending on your goal with the product. You are welcome to contact me on details below to discuss what products are best suited for you.
The Herbalife Weight Control programmes works as follows:
For weight loss: Replace two meals a day with a Herbalife shake. Your third meal should be a healthy, colourful, food meal.
For weight maintenance: Replace one meal a day with a Herbalife shake. Your other meals should be healthy, colourful, food meals.
For weight gain: Supplement your current diet with 3 Herbalife shakes per day (preferably prepared with full cream milk).
