The following are common questions and
answers about Herbalife provided by the Herbalife Scientific and Medical Advisory
Board.
1. What is
Herbalife?
Herbalife is a scientifically formulated, herbal-based calorie-reduced
nutritional "shake" or meal replacement drink (Formula #1) to which has
been added food supplements containing important vitamins, minerals,
essential fatty acids and nutritional herbs. The Herbalife regimen has
been used for weight control and maintenance of good health for over 25
years by literally millions of individuals in more than 61 countries.
2. Don't you lose
weight on Herbalife because you skip meals?
No. Herbalife's calorie-reduced regimen encourages participants to eat
three meals daily. Two meals are in the form of our
nutritionally-balanced meal replacement drink, and the third is a meal
of your choice, following guidelines offered by the company. In
addition, Herbalife has devised a seven-day recommended meal plan which
is distributed with its regimen. Diets which require people to skip
meals are unhealthy and promote binge eating.
3. Is Herbalife a
"liquid protein" or starvation diet?
Definitely not! Herbalife is
neither of these. Our regimen supplies at least 1200-1500
Calories (5020-6300 kilojoules) daily and is nutritionally complete so
individuals can lose weight safely and effectively, and, just as
importantly, keep the weight off. "Liquid protein" diets, which use
nutritionally unbalanced protein-based drinks, or starvation diets which
reduce calories to such low levels (less than 500 Calories or 2100
kilojoules daily) that people literally starve to lose weight are both
extremely unhealthy and have less than 20% long-term success.
4. How does Herbalife
work?
Herbalife supplies all the balanced nutrition the body needs on a daily
basis. Individuals who choose to, can lose excess weight by reducing
excess calories and not sacrifice important nutrients like protein,
potassium and iron. As a result, they feel their best while they lose
both excess weight and inches.
5. Is Herbalife
"natural"?
The Herbalife regimen is
based entirely on nutrition and herbs. The regimen does not use drugs,
medications, hormones or other synthetic agents to promote weight loss.
All ingredients in the Herbalife regimen must fulfill three important
conditions: purity, quality, and stability.
6. What causes the
feeling of increased energy? Is it caffeine?
The weight loss and energy-enhancing effects of Herbalife are the result
of its scientifically balanced nutritional formula and are not due to
caffeine or any natural or synthetic stimulant. Herbalife's 100% herbal
product Natural Guarana tea and tablets contain pure guarana which has a
naturally occurring caffeine content of about 30mg per tablet (the same
amount of caffeine in a small cola drink). Thermojetics Instant Herbal
Beverage also contain small amounts of naturally-occuring caffeine of
any sort in any Herbalife product.
7. What do the herbs
do and are they safe?
Herbs are nature's
nutritional bounty. They are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber
and related nutrients essential for good health. The herbal mixtures
used in Herbalife products have been created by experts to maximize
nutritional value. The herbs are the highest quality available anywhere
in the world and are free of pesticide residues and other contaminants.
Tablet preparation of the herbal mixtures occurs under strict quality
control to assure purity and safety.
