A: Yes, the soy protein in Formula 1 healthy diet shakes is definitely beneficial for both men and women. Numerous scientific studies demonstrate the benefits of soy protein for heart health when included as part of a healthy, low-fat diet, which is why Formula 1 has a healthy heart symbol on every label (except Tropical Fruit flavor, which contains less soy).

How can one product, Formula 1, be ideal for weight loss, formula gain weight and weight maintenance?

A: Research shows that drinking two shakes a day and eating one healthy meal will lead to weight loss, while having three shakes a day as well as normal meals will lead to gain weight and one shake a day will keep the weight off for years.

Weight Loss UK Online - What a choice?

Google the phrase Weight Loss UK Online and you will get over 19 million sites to look at - so the question is where do you start?

If you want to lose weight, you want to satisfy a few points when choosing a weight loss program:
  • is it safe?
  • is it easy to follow?
  • do you need to start counting calories everyday?
  • do you need to start counting points everyday?
  • do you need to buy lots of new sorts of foods?
  • can you still eat with your family?
  • can you stick to the program at work?
  • is it a reliable weight loss program?
  • can you get your questions answered?
To Lose Weight your body has to use more calories than you eat every single day.
Women normally need fewer calories than men. And the number of calories your body uses depends on the lifestyle you lead.
Just read these figures below to see how this works:
For active people: 120lbs woman needs 2640 calories / day.
150lbs man needs 3600 calories / day.
For sedentary people: 120lbs woman needs 1680 calories / day - 1000 calories less.
150lbs man needs 2100 calories / day - 1500 calories less.
So if you've got an active friend that always seems to eat alot but not gain weight - this is why they can eat more because they burn more calories.
So for Weight Loss you need to reduce calorie intake and if possible increase your activity so you use more calories each day.
Now not many people want to work out their calories everyday. Most people want a simpler solution to Weight Loss UK that is reliable and safe.
Read how Kathy used the Herbalife Weight Loss Program to lose weight .

Although she’d maintained a healthy weight for most of her life, Kathy’s body seemed to undergo an irreversible change after having children. “I tried so hard to lose weight,” she says. “I’d run and exercise for months and drop only a few pounds.
After trying Herbalife Weight Loss program UK she discovered her love for the shakes and protein bar snacks. Kathy adds, “I never felt any need to sneak junk food.” Now Kathy is where she wants to be. “I’m in great shape, keeping the weight off, and enjoying delicious meals and snacks!”
Here’s How she did it:
Listen to your body. If you crave a snack, eat something healthy, like low fat cottage cheese with yoghourt, or an Herbalife protein bar. Follow your plan to the letter. If you cheat even a little, you’ll make it that much harder to get the results you want.

How Healthy was Your Breakfast Today? Easy Healthy Nutrition Shakes for Breakfast

Breakfast is the neglected meal of the day - often rushed or skipped.


But yet Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it provides your body with the nutrition and fuel to kick start your day and lays the foundation for lifelong health benefits. Breakfast provides energy to make it through the day and keeps our metabolism high as well. It’s easy to skip breakfast when you are in a rush: walk the dog, get the kids ready for school, feed the cat, iron the blouse we’re planning on wearing to the office etc. Often making a healthy breakfast just doesn’t seem to fit in a lot of times.
So many people opt for these as breakfast options, they are just loading themselves with empty calories with not much nutritional value that could just turn into body fat:


  • Sugary or carb-filled: Pancakes, waffles, toast, donuts, pastries, scones, bagels, pies, sugar cereals, breakfast bars, muffins (which, let’s face it, are usually just cake). Carbs are OK but the problem with many breakfasts is that they are low in fat and protein, and nothing but empty carb calories. Carbs start your day with a high blood-sugar level, which will result in emmission of insulin; the insulin removes sugar from blood, turning it's excess into fat. The result very shortly is low blood sugar levels, which results in cravings for more carbs. You’ll be on a roller-coaster blood-sugar ride all day as this cycle repeats itself 2-3 times during the day and is a major cause for diabetes, high blood pressure and extra weight.
  • Fatty. Fried eggs, sausages, bacon, cream cheese on your bagels, cheesy omelettes, Egg McMuffins, Sausage McMuffins, hash browns, anything English or Scottish. Too much fat means excess calories and sure weight gain.
Some people skip breakfast because they sleep too late or because they think it's a way to stay thin. But skipping breakfast doesn't help people maintain a healthy weight. In fact, someone who skips breakfast tends to eat more calories throughout the day as your blood sugar levels drop below normal level and you experience cravings and a drop in energy. Chances are you'll revert to simple carbs to achieve quick surge of blood sugar to overcome drop in energy and hunger. Simple carbs will cause an immediate surge of blood sugar levels and substantial insulin emission, which turns the sugar into fat and the cycle repeat itself during the day a few times, as explained above in the too-sugary or carb example of a breakfast.

A healthy breakfast should consist of a variety of foods, for example, whole grains, low-fat protein or dairy sources, and fruit. This provides complex carbohydrates, protein and a small amount of fat — a combination that delays hunger symptoms for hours. So your morning meal doesn't have to mean loading up on sugar, fat and cholesterol. Making nutritious breakfast choices can set you up for healthier eating all day long.


If there was a way to have an easy healthy breakfast - would you do it? Choose one item from 3 of the following 4 food groups:


  • Fruits and vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetables, 100 percent juice without added sugar.
  • Grains: Whole-grain rolls, hot or cold whole-grain cereals high in fibre.
  • Dairy: Skim milk, low-fat yogurt cups or low-fat cheeses, such as cottage and natural cheeses.
  • Protein: Hard-boiled eggs, cottage cheese, lean slices of meat and poultry, or fish, such as water-packed tuna or slices of salmon.
People who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to:
- Eat more vitamins and minerals and less fat and cholesterol.
- Have better concentration and productivity throughout the morning.
- Control their weight.
- Have lower cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease.
Breakfast is especially important for children and adolescents, those who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to have better concentration, problem-solving skills and eye-hand coordination. Plus they may also be more alert, creative and less likely to miss days of school.
Our bodies have over 100 trillion cells which demand 114 different nutrients every single day that provide energy and nutrition and nourishment to our body. Plus water.
There are 4 criteria of a good, healthy breakfast:
  • Provide body with all vital nutrients to rebuild the body.
  • Provides the body with energy in terms of protein and complex carbs to help body burn the calories and sugar.
  • Provides the body with water, a couple of glasses before and a couple after breakfast.
  • Helps to maintain a normal blood sugar levels.
  • Balanced protein breakfast supplies our body with all vital nutrients without increasing blood sugar or insulin levels.
  • Reduces cravings for carbs during the day.
  • Controls apetite, cravings for carbs diminish and the body uses stored fat to get energy.

Herbalife's Formula 1 Nutrition Healthy Shake is an easy way to satisfy all these points and will feed your body with ALL the nutrients needed for good health and that would be difficult to achieve with any other regular breakfast, unless you eat 1000 calorie and nutrient packed breakfast of eggs and wholegrains and fruit and veg, etc.
Herbalife's meal replacement shake is not only a balanced, low calorie meal, but also a healthy shake that is a quick and easy option that can be prepared the night before or on the spot - it takes a couple of minutes only...Just pour some semi-skimmed or soya milk in your blender, add any of six delicious flavours of Formula 1 Nutritional shakes, and you can even add fresh or frozen fruit, if you like. Blend it well for a lovely, frothy texture and enjoy on it's own or preferably with Formula 2 multivitamin supplements.
Together these two nutrition supplements will give your body all the nutrients it needs, in a perfect balance, it will fill you up for up to 4 hours, balance your sugar levels, give you plenty of energy, help you sleep better, it will also help manage your weight or even help you lose weight if you fancy one of those instead of lunch or dinner, they would help improve your general well-being, it will positively influence your mood and is great for your digestive system. It truly is an intelligent meal that is one of a kind and that whole family can enjoy. They are just great for kids too; my kids just love them, especially younger one as I was taking them also during pregnancy and started him on it when he was just 6 months old.
As Dr Louis Ignarro, Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine in 1998, has said "Change in diet can improve your health but taking Herbalife products can improve your lifestyle". This is so true as making positive changes with diet surely does make a huge difference, but, nutrition you get from consuming Herbalife shakes and supplements is optimum nutrition that can take your health on a completely new level.
So, whatever you decide to do for breakfast, just remember the benefits of a healthy breakfast: *Be more mentally alert and ready for the day
* Improve mood by keeping your blood sugar levels even
*Better cope with stress
*Consume less calories throughout the rest of the day.
So, set a good example for family and friends - set aside a few minutes in the morning and fix a smoothie before you head out the door! They will notice the difference in you.

Can taking a multi vitamin extend life?

ref 'Can taking a multivitamin extend life?' Los Angeles Times, May 29, 2009

Telomeres are the DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes, these shorten as we age and it is thought that the reason for telomeres shortening may be an important key to longevity. When cells replicate, telomeres shorten. So, preserving the length of telomeres is thought to be a possible key to living longer. Do you need supplements?

A study in the new issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who take multi vitamin supplements daily had telomeres that were 5.1% longer, on average, than non-vitamin users. The researchers, from the National Institutes of Health, looked at multivitamin use and nutrient intake, as well as telomere length, in 586 women ages 35 to 74. They also found a link between telomere length and intake of vitamins C and E.
How multivitamin supplements may affect telomeres is not known. But studies have shown that telomeres are vulnerable to oxidative stress, and some vitamins are antioxidants which can neutralise oxidative stresses. But more research is needed to find out whether multi vitamin supplements could really impact telomere length.
Dr. Honglei Chen, of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, wrote in the report "To our knowledge, this was the first epidemiological study of multivitamin use and telomere length. Regular multivitamin supplement users tend to follow a healthy lifestyle and have a higher intake of micronutrients, which sometimes makes it difficult to interpret epidemiological observations in multivitamin use." But added, "the results are consistent with experimental findings that vitamins C and E protect telomeres in vitro."

Lack of vitamin D may cause health risk to millions

ref "Millions face serious health risks over lack of vitamin D in diets" Daily Mail 16 May 2009

A recent report says that millions are at risk of developing serious health problems because of poor vitamin D levels, citing only 1 in 4 people eating enough foods rich in vitamin D. Vitamin D can help stave off cancer, heart disease, diabetes and bone thinning. And obesity is making the situation worse as the vitamin becomes trapped in fat deposits.
The report reviewed data from 170,000 patients and found that the consumption of vitamin D rich foods had dropped, such as oily fish, eggs and butter spreads. EU recommendations are for daily vitamin D intake of 5 micrograms for 12 - 70 years age group.
Normally 90% of the bodys vitamin D comes from sunlight, but over exposure can trigger skin cancer.

An alternative source of vitamin D is from from supplements, such as Herbalife herbal supplements with 33% RDA in Formula 2 multi vitamin supplement, 25% RDA in Formula 1 shakes, 8% RDA in XtraCal calcium supplement.

Microbes in your digestive system can make you Fat


Are bugs behind weight gain?
Can Cleansing your Digestive System help?

Could there really be a microbe in our digestive tract that is causing fat to accumulate, keeping us over weight?
Scientific studies have proven that we can catch these microbes which then cause a weight control problem. Aparently normal, healthy weight people do not have high levels of this microbe in their gut. The same study claims the over weight people tested did.
Herbalife has a product that helps clean the tiny microscopic hair like follicles located in the gut call villi. Cell Activator herbal supplement has been one of the products in the Herbalife weight loss products for years.
