Losing weight may seem like a daunting task, even when you only have to lose 6-10 kg. It is for this reason that Herbalife weight loss program has been designed to fit every individual's schedule in mind.

When you try to skip meals, you actually hinder your body's fat burning capacity. With the Herbalife weight loss program, you still eat three meals a day; ensuring adequate blood sugar levels and fat burning.

Skipping meals

Many people skip breakfast and by doing so their bodies store any food taken later in the day as fat. Your body tries to protect you from starvation and when you don't eat on a regular basis, it will go on the defense to protect you. By following a balanced weight loss program from Herbalife, you ensure that you not only lose weight, but maintain a healthy body and mind.

The Herbalife weight loss program comprises several products aimed at helping your body to take up less fat and to enhance your metabolism for more energy and fat burning. You can lose weight in a controlled manner by replacing two of your meals with the ShapeWorks Formula 1 program. You still eat one balanced meal a day. Hunger cravings are something from the past! Since your body gets all the nutrients it needs, you won't feel hungry all the time. You should combine the program with 30 minutes activity or exercise a day to get optimum results.

Ingredients of the nutrition shakes, supplements and powder

The low calorie Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix contains a perfect balance of proteins, minerals, herbs and essential vitamins that will help you to stay healthy and maintain or lose weight. Aminogen included in the improved mix helps the body to convert protein to usable amino acids.

The Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex contains Vitamin B6 together with parsley, garlic, ginger, mung bean and sesame seed. All of these herbs are known for their cleansing and weight management properties.

The Formula 3 Personalized Protein Powder is ideally suited to mix with your shakes and can be used to curb hunger cravings while helping to sustain lean body mass.

Detoxification is important as part of a controlled weight loss program. Herbalife Formula 5 contains Vitamin C that not only helps in the detoxification process, but also boosts your immune system. This formula is set in cider vinegar, lecithin and potassium, together with couch grass, which is essential for weight maintenance.

You can also use the Herbalife Formula 3 Vitamin and Mineral Supplement Tablets, which contain several essential vitamins and minerals, together with Chinese herbs to help sustain a fit and healthy body.

How it works

The ShapeWorks program that contains the different formulas discussed has been designed to not only help you lose weight, but to keep your optimum weight. The supplements are important for sustaining a healthy body while you diet and thereafter. The shake mixes can be used instead of meals. Because the shakes are rich in protein, your fat is replaced by tissue and muscle and your hunger cravings are controlled.

Fluid intake

Since we need to take a lot of fluids to sustain healthy body functions, Herbalife has introduced a thermogenic drink made of green tea and herbs. Unlike normal green tea, this formula really tastes great and not only helps to increase energy, but also assists in fat burning.

Instead of drinking sodas, you can now enjoy a refreshing drink that doesn't deplete your energy. Water is essential and we should try to drink more water than any other fluid, but at the same time realize that we cannot drink water to replace meals. Water in itself doesn't offer the nutritional content found in pure juices. The thermogenic drink is however, ideally suited to compliment your water intake.

What about water retention?

Many people struggle with fluid retention while on diet. The Herbalife Cell-U-Loss supplement helps to get rid of excess fluids.

What about in between meals?

If you want to snack, you can do so with one of the wholesome Herbalife snacks, although the ShapeWorks weight loss program already includes protein that helps to curb cravings.

The complete Herbalife ShapeWorks weight loss program, used by thousands of people around the world, has delivered stunning results and has helped countless people to reach and keep their dream weight and health.
