Your Herbalife Newsletter – 18th July

My back ground is a Pilates Instructor. By October 2011 I was very frustrated. At that time I was spending 60 minutes per day on the cardio equipment at the gym 4 times per week. I was exhausted after each session and had to drag myself forth with the little energy I had left.

What frustrated me most was the fact that the kilograms increased week by week and even more clothes in my cupboard didn't fit any more in spite of my heavy exercise program. A friend suggested that I start with the Herbalife Nutritional program. My daily eating plan and exercise program were also adjusted.

I started to replace breakfast and lunch with a Herbalife Nutritional shake and was amazed that I did not feel hungry at all. It also stabilized my energy levels throughout the day. I had energy and felt motivated again to exercise and it didn't feel as though I had been drained after each session.

After 10 weeks I had lost 6kg and my fat percentage lowered with 5%. I could see the kilograms and cm's decrease week after week. I have now lost a total of 10Kg.

1. What is the Herbalife Weight Control Programme?

The Herbalife Weight Control Programme is a scientifically formulated, herbal-based, kilojoule-reduced nutrition programme. It is centered around our unique protein-rich, nutrition “shake” or meal replacement drink together with added food supplements containing important minerals, essential fatty acids and herbs. The Herbalife programme has been used for weight control since 1980 by literally millions of individuals around the world. The programme aids weight control as part of a kilojoule controlled diet.

2. Do you lose weight because you skip meals?

No. Herbalife’s kilojoule-reduced programme encourages participants to eat three meals a day. Two meals are in the form of our nutritional meal replacement drink, and the third is any meal of your choice. Diets which require people to skip meals are unhealthy and encourage binge eating.

3. Is the Herbalife Programme a “liquid protein” or starvation diet?

Definitely not! The Herbalife programme is neither of these. Our programme is nutritionally balanced so individuals can lose weight safely and effectively, and, just as important keep the weight off. “Liquid protein” diets, which are nutritionally unbalanced protein-base drinks, or starvation diets, which reduce kilojoules so low (less than 2 500 kilojoules daily) that people literally starve to lose weight, are both extremely unhealthy and have a minimal long term success.

4. How does the Herbalife Programme work?

Herbalife’s recommended programme and meal plan supplies all the balanced nutrition the body needs on a daily basis. Individuals, who choose to, can lose excess weight by reducing excess kilojoules without sacrificing important nutrients like protein and iron. As a result, they feel well while they lose both excess weight and centimetres.

5. Is the Herbalife Programme “natural”?

The Herbalife Programme is based entirely on balanced nutrition. The programme does not use drugs, medications, hormones, or other synthetic agents. All ingredients in the Herbalife programme must fulfil three important conditions: purity, potency and stability. This is how we maintain the high level of quality associated with the Herbalife name.

6. What keeps you feeling energetic?

The energy effects of the Herbalife programme are the result of its scientifically balanced nutrition system. No artificial stimulants are used in the Herbalife programme.

7. Are the vitamin levels high? Are they safe?

The levels of vitamins and minerals in all Herbalife formulas are carefully designed to assist individuals consuming them to maintain good health. All of our formulas are developed to help achieve optimum nutrition. In formulating Herbalife products we have taken special care to assure that vitamin levels are completely safe and never lead to accumulation, even when consumed together with a diet rich in other nutrients.

8. What do the herbs do and are they safe?

Herbs are nature’s bounty. The Herbal mixtures used in Herbalife products have been created by experts to maximise potency. The herbs are among the highest quality available anywhere in the world and are free of pesticide residues and other possible contaminants. Tablet preparation of the herbal mixtures occurs under strict quality control to assure purity and safety.

9. Does the Herbalife Weight Control Programme comply with regulations?

Yes. All the Herbalife products meet the requirements for each country in which they are sold. In 1986 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration thoroughly evaluated the Herbalife programme and issued a statement declaring that all of the Herbalife products were safe. In addition, wherever Herbalife is introduced into a new country it is legally reviewed before it is approved for importation and distribution.

10. Has the Herbalife Programme been tested?

Absolutely. The Herbalife Programme has had clinical testing in the United States, Asia and Europe. Students have demonstrated that Herbalife products are both safe and effective. In addition, each batch of Herbalife products is quality control tested to ensure product integrity before it is shipped anywhere in the world.

11. Do Herbalife Distributors require professional training?

No. The Herbalife Weight Control Programme has been specifically designed by experts and doctors in the fields of food technology and nutritional science so that it is completely self explanatory and therefore does not require or expect nutrition expertise on the part of its Distributors. However, the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board offers its Distributors extensive nutritional education available in the form of literature and seminars.

12. Does the Herbalife Programme help to change eating habits?

The Herbalife Programme promotes good nutritional habits like reducing fat, fried food, salt and sugar in the diet, and increasing fibre and complex carbohydrates. Most important, Herbalife advises individuals how to achieve and maintain an ideal weight. It is a lifetime health support programme.

13. Is exercise part of the Herbalife Programme?

Herbalife encourages participants to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes good nutrition, regular exercise, moderation in the use of alcohol and avoiding tobacco use. The Herbalife Programme works even if individuals do not or cannot exercise because of serious injuries or other health problems. Even these people can use the Herbalife Programme to lose weight successfully.

14. Is there enough fluid and fibre in the Herbalife Programme?

Yes. When followed as recommended, the Herbalife Programme provides adequate liquid and fibre. This is more than is found in the average diet of industrialized countries, and is the level recommended by health authorities. Supplemental fibre tablets are available for those who wish to increase their daily intake further.

15. Is the Herbalife Programme recommended by Doctors?

Absolutely. Herbalife has a Nutrition Advisory Board that tests and researches Herbalife products and continually monitors reports of results sent in by customers and Distributors. In addition, many physicians and other health professionals around the world use Herbalife both in their personal lives and in their practices.
