If you want to lose weight for Christmas – approximately 7-10lbs, try the Herbalife Quick Start Programme. The Quick Start Programme contains protein, fibre and nutrients which are often found lacking in a typical diet. The natural vegetable protein found in the Herbalife Formula 1 Shake and the F3 Personalised Protein Powder will give you healthy protein without the additional fat and calories found in animal protein. It will also fill you up for longer so you are not inclined to snack in between meals.
**Top Tip – blend chocolate or cappuccino formula 1 with milk and then heat in microwave – it’s great this time of year !
New recipe “Pear and Cinnamon” – take 2 scoops of vanilla Formula 1, 150ml semi skimmed milk, 2 tablespoons of low fat yogurt, half a pear and 1 cinnamon stick, mix in blender and serve.
Get protein into every meal, avoid or limit carbohydrates i.e. crisps, biscuits, cereal bars, rice cakes, sugary chocolate bars etc. If you feel like a snack choose from the list below:

For extra energy take Herbalife Thermojetic Herbal Beverages known as thermos, these can be enjoyed hot or cold and they count towards your daily water allowance. We have a saying about these drinks “the more you drink the more you shrink” this is because thermos supports the metabolism and helps to burn up 80 calories per cup. It breaks down fat as a source of energy. Use instead of coffee or fizzy drinks. Look what a certain Hairdresser is saying about thermos.
Maintain your weight and stay in shape
Set a goal over Christmas so that you don’t undo the work that you’ve done already on the Quick Start Programme. Take a healthy shake a day for breakfast which will curb your appetite.
Be prepared when you go out for a celebration dinner – use the Herbalife Tomato Soup to switch off hunger signals to the brain.
You can also take Herbalife Fibrebond 30 minutes before a meal with water. Fibrebond helps with elimination of fat, it absorbs 30% of the saturated fat we’ve eaten and prevents it getting into the digestive tract. It only deals with the fat we are eating not what is stored already !
When eating out over Christmas select protein and vegetables on the menu, with a small amount of carbohydrates.
Drink plenty of thermos as this is a great for burning unwanted calories.
Keep a check on calories in alcholic drinks and lastly have a fantastic Christmas !
