As obvious as it may seem, the main reason that people fail in their attempts to lose weight is that they feel hungry. An extensive survey recently concluded that hunger was the number one reason for weight loss failure.

So Herbalife's experts went to work to create a program that would take care of the number one reason for failure.

Herbalife ShapeWorks Protein Programs

The right balance of protein is the key to handling hunger cravings.
Eating the correct amount of high quality protein according to your body size is the key to control hunger. When you eat enough protein you will feel full and have more stable blood sugar levels. That will make it more easy for you to have control over what you eat. Due to the fact that protein is assimilated in the body over a longer period of time. It also takes more energy to break down the protein and that way you will be burning more calories in the process.

Proteins and carbohydrates
Our normal diets and fast paced lifestyle cause us to get lots of carbohydrates and sugar but do not contain enough protein for most people. Protein has a dulling effect on carbohydrate cravings as well as cravings for sweets. Research has shown that eating carbohydrates creates cravings to eat even more carbohydrates. But eating enough protein can assist in stopping this cycle.

Not all proteins are the same. Some proteins are definitely better than others. If you get all your protein from meat you are also likly to get too many calories and you have to question if that is really good for you to eat so much meat.

A Healthy Protein sourse: Soy Protein :

Very high absorption of soy protein by the body.
Vegetable Protein : 75% absorption of protein by the body. 
Animal Protein :50% absorption of protein by the body. 50% passed as waste and make the kidneys and liver work hard.

As you incorporate protein into your diet, you must remember that not all protein is equal when it comes to calories.  A serving of prime rib has about 1,500 calories! That's why Herbalife created a variety of healthy protein snacks to help you get enough good protein in your diet and help you feel full and still manage to lose weight.

Protein : We believe it is The Key to Long Term Weight Loss
The problem with many diet programs is that what you lose is mostly fat and  muscle tissue. Muscle tissue burns fat even when the muscles are at rest. When you lose your muscle tissue and return to your normal food intake, you will burn up less calories and often put on more weight than when they began the program

With the "Personalized Protein Program" you burn fat but maintain muscles

actually, muscle tone is greatly improved and  the weight loss results are much easier to maintain. There is more lean muscle to burn off the calories, further calories tend to be burnt off by the natural increase in activity.

Herbalife's new ShapeWorks Protein Programs are based on high quality soy protein.
