Why Herbalife Formula 1 and not a classic breakfast?

• You can have any breakfast you want, but there is no classic breakfast that can provide you the same amount of balanced nutrients in the same amount of calories that you get with a Formula 1 healthy breakfast. 
• Remember that on the long run there can be consequences if your body lacks proper nutrition. Herbalife Formula 1 can give you the security you got the right, balanced nutrition even if you overall make some mistakes when it comes to your diet.
• What you get when choosing Herbalife Healthy Breakfast is essentially a controlled amount of calories with more than 20 essential nutrients your body needs. Switching one meal with a Formula 1 shake is basically healthy for anyone's body, and it makes you full and energetic through the morning! What's more important it's not even more expensive than regular breakfast!

We tried to compare three different types of classic breakfast with a Formula 1 shake, you can see the results HERE.

Is Herbalife some kind of diet?

• No, it's not a diet. Herbalife are dietary supplements that enrich the diet, making it healthier and more balanced.
• Herbalife products promote and encourage a healthy and active way of life. Many people choose Herbalife to lose weight because obesity and weight control is a big problem today. The fact is, that weight loss is a natural consequence of a well-balanced diet, such as Herbalife can provide you. That's why the program that we recommend everyone to start is "Herbalife Healthy Breakfast", because everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal in the day, and with a regular breakfast it is easier to manage weight.
• Herbalife helps regulate body weight but is not a diet and the results can be seen only if it is used properly and long enough.

Is switching regular breakfast for "Herbalife healthy breakfast" enough to loose weight?

• To loose weight you should never rely on one product or one healthy meal.
• Many people who use only a healthy breakfast lose weight but this is individual. Each body is different so that even though the Formula 1 product has top formulation and quality, also being the most controlled, the best in the category of substitute meals, it will not atone for all your dietary sins. Just as you will not get fat from one bad meal, you will not  lose weight because of one good meal! When trying to lose or manage your weight, it's always important to learn something about keeping a nutritionally balanced diet, rich in low glycemic index * foods. The more you put low GI into your diet, the more energy you'll have, fewer will be the spikes of blood sugar and you will gradually lose weight or maintain it.

* Formula 1 is tested by independent institutions and proven to have a low GI, therefore it helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

I heard people didn't loose weight or they gained weight while having Herbalife Healthy Breakfast, so what can I expect?

• Losing or gaining weight does not depend on the product. It all depends solely on personal nutrition and life habits.
• It is possible to gain weight with the healthy breakfast, but mostly that it won't be fat mass but muscle mass.
• Herbalife is declared as a healthy substitute meal for easy weight loss or weight gain depending on the body's needs. Weight loss is a complex process, a combination of proper nutrition, and a healthy, active lifestyle, sometimes the number on the scale does not change, but the body can still change it's shape. When we add a 220-calorie shake to our daily diet without changing any other dietary habits, we just add more calories to the daily intake (even though this calories are full of nutrients, they are still calories). It is important to get rid of unnecessary calories by replacing one or two classic meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner) with a balanced, nutritious meal like Formula 1. Only then the results may surprise you, because in the long run the body will gradually adjust its weight to the new regime diet. People who do not achieve the desired results are most likely not using properly Herbalife products.

I'm not used to having breakfast because it always seems too complicated or I don't have the time to prepare it and consume it, what do I do?

• It basically takes around 3 minutes to prepare the Herbalife Healthy Breakfast!
• Many people think they just don't have enough time, especially in the morning. The problem it's not time but organizing time. If preparing a 90 second breakfast makes your life complicated you will need to accept the consequences one day, eventually. Preparing the Formula 1 shake is easier than making fried eggs! For people that are not used to eat in the morning it's ideal because it's liquid and it doesn't burden the stomach like solid food, and it can be taken on the go while you're travelling or in the office, so you don't have to sit and chew.

I'm used to having real breakfast and I fear I will be hungry by having only a shake for breakfast?

• If prepared correctly, the Formula 1 shake can keep you full for at least 2 hours and more .The thing is that you will have to get used to eat often but small portions.
• If you experience hunger after having a Formula 1 shake, your body probably needs more calories to feel full. Depending on your desired goal, consult with your Herbalife Independent Distributer on how to make your shake properly, so that it suits your body personal needs. Sometimes it's enough to prepare the shake with 3 scoops instead of 1, or to make your shake with yogurt instead of milk, so that the shake gets thicker or you can add some fruit, nuts or cereals before blending to keep you fuller.
• It all depends on your goals and eating habits so the best you can do is to consult with your Herbalife Distributer and they will find the solution for you, but in the end remember that adding too much ingredients it also means adding calories and that won't do you good if trying to loose weight so it is important that you always have at hand healthy snack if you feel hungry after breakfast.

Is it OK to use Herbalife healthy breakfast if I do not need to lose weight but just want to eat healthy?

• Yes, you can use Herbalife if you do not have to lose weight.
• You will not get fat with Formula 1 Shake. Sometimes people do get a few pounds when they go to a healthy breakfast program, but when body analysis is made, it usually turns out to be a muscle mass rather than fatty tissue.  The more muscle mass you have, the more energy you feel, the less you will be tired and more focused. If you are skinny and just want healthy nutrition, you can freely introduce Herbalife's healthy breakfast into your daily routine. It will help you maintain good energy throughout your day and healthy body weight throughout the years.

I feel there's not enough protein in this products.

• The amount of protein contained in the Formula 1 meal replacement is exactly the right amount a person needs in one meal.
• Please, do not compare a healthy meal replacement with a protein blend or whey protein powder. Remember that we're talking about a meal replacement not a protein supplement. A meal replacement is a mixture of proteins, vitamins, minerals and botanical ingredients, while a protein supplement contains only protein. Also it's impossible to state how much protein is "enough".
• The “right” amount of protein for a person is individual and depends on many factors including activity levels, age, muscle mass, physique goals and current state of health. As with most tissues in the body, muscles are dynamic and are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. If you aim to gain muscle, the body must be synthesizing more muscle protein than it is breaking down, so therefore you will be needing some more proteins than the classic Formula 1 contains, that's why there are other specific Herbalife products designed to adjust your protein intake.

Check how much protein your body actually needs using the calculator for protein intake.

Can I gain muscle mass with Herbalife Healthy Breakfast?

• Yes. Introduce Herbalife healthy breakfast into your daily routine and take another F1 Shake after exercising to regain lost nutrients in the body. Add one or two additional Formula 3 Protein Powder scoops each time to your shakes to adjust your protein intake.
• If you are having trouble gaining weight or just exercising regularly, but you do not get any weight, maybe your body needs more protein or carbohydrates or you are simply eating the wrong food at the wrong time. It's important to eat properly, especially before or after exercise. The body needs many nutrients to restore lost and damaged muscles. It's not just a matter of getting a bigger amount of protein, but a proper addition of other nutrients. People who have very fast metabolism and exercise regularly need more nutritiously thick foods, more carbohydrates, more protein, and more vitamins and minerals throughout the day, which means at least two F1 shakes per day, not as a replacement but as a supplement to all other meals. Consult your Herbalife Independent Herbalife distributor on sports nutrition and sports line Herbalife24 if you want more muscle.

It seems to me there is too much sugar in this products, isn't sugar bad for me?

• Yes, there are natural fruit sugars in Herbalife products, along with some artificial ones and the amount of sugar you can find in the products is the same amount you would eat in any fruit and much less than you would get  from drinking one glass of any common carbonated beverage.
• Sugar is an important part of every healthy diet. Sugars are essentially carbohydrates and carbohydrates are needed to improve your energy. Herbalife selects those who offer sweetness, but have a low glycemic index and come packed with proteins and fibers so as not to raise blood sugar levels. This is important because a sudden spike in blood sugar levels can lead to a rapid fall, which acts on the body as a sudden feeling of hunger, fatigue and irritability.

Herbalife has recently decided to switch from artificial sweeteners that are used in some formulations to natural sweeteners - read more about sugar products HERE
