Traditional calorie reduction diets deprive the body of valuable nutrition necessary for metabolism, immune function, blood glucose levels, and mental alertness. They are ineffective because when the body is deprived of nutrition, the brain (hypothalamus) triggers the metabolism to slow down and adjust metabolism to the starvation calorie intake level.

Therefore the solution is to limit calorie intake so that it equals less than calories burned, while still obtaining optimum daily allowance of lean proteins, amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients.

I started using Herbalife Nutritional Suppelements a few months ago and am so pleased with the results, I began recommending them to my clients. One of my clients lost 15 lbs in 3 months, without starving or feeling deprived. Another lost 5 lbs in one week.
