I came across a bottle of HerbalLife (Australian packaging) in a beautician's shop in Miri.
People will lose weight fast but eventually gain it back just as fast (I was told).
This is because per serving of 29gram (there is only 15.5 gram of carbohydrate). It is basically a vitamin powder as per the labelling.
If you replace a meal with HerbalLife you eat 200 grams less of carbohydrates. i.e a plate of rice has around 250 grams of carbohydrates. That means you are having a deficit of 200 grams of carbohydrates.
When we eat carbo, it is digested and enters the blood as glucose. It is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. 1 gram of glycogen is stored in combination with 4 grams of water. Hence when you store 2oo grams of glycogen, you will gain 1 kg.
If you have a deficit of 200 grams of carbo, likewise you will lose 1kg (80% of that is water).
WHAT WE NEED IS TO LOSE FAT, NOT WATER!
