No More Excuses

We understand there are concerns with starting out on your program.  The program may not be suited for everyone, and occasionally you may feel the program is not right for you. Please consult with your physician prior to starting the program. Here are some typical questions from our customers.

“I’m not losing weight.”


Possible reasons:
Are you using Formula 1 with milk?
Some people are intolerant to milk. You may mix your shakes with nonfat milk or soy milk.
Not measuring inches.
Some people lose centimeters or inches first and weight second. It is important to measure inches as well as check weight because there are times when you will lose inches and not pounds. As long as you are losing either inches or pounds (or both), the program is working.
Cheating.
If you have the urge to cheat, we recommend trying our wide array of Enhancers. Add one or several Enhancers, such as Snack Defense(TM) tablets or Total Control(R) tablets. You may also try our healthy protein snacks. They’re satisfying and so delicious, you won’t feel the need to cheat!
Not following the program as directed.
Remember, the program calls for two shakes and one balanced meal per day with tablets as directed.
Skipping meals can starve the body and slow down metabolism. This can weaken the diet and lead to cheating. Not taking the tablets as directed can result in poor nutrition, which can also sabotage the diet. So always remember to follow the program as directed.

“I feel hungry.”


Possible reasons:
Not following the program correctly.
It is unusual to feel hungry when following the program correctly. Be sure you are making your shakes properly, not skipping meals and taking the products properly to help control appetite. For additional hunger control, you can add extra Personalized Protein Powder in your shake or enjoy an Herbalife protein snack. For individuals who get hungry in the evenings, you may try a soy nuts snack after dinner. If you are experiencing dieting challenges, check out our Enhancers.
Not eating properly.
An important part of ShapeWorks(TM) is eating food. It is important to eat a healthy well-balanced diet. Hunger pangs or cravings arise from skipping meals, not making shakes properly or eating inadequate amounts of protein. ShapeWorks(TM) helps reduce feelings of hunger, if you are following the program correctly.

“I feel sick / nauseous.”


Be sure to take tablets with shakes or meals as directed, not on an empty stomach. Nausea can also be a sign of poor digestion. Be sure to follow the program as directed and drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Our Herbal Aloe Concentrate tastes great and will help settle the stomach.
“I have a headache.”
Headaches can arise from blood sugar fluctuations or dehydration. Be sure to follow the program, eating two shakes, one snack and a balanced meal, as directed, and drink at least six to eight glasses of water daily. Add N-R-G Tea or Herbal Concentrate to your daily health routine.
