Since the low fat craze” began, the statistics show we have grown fatter and fatter.

Today, supermarket shelves are packed with foods that call to dieters with the words “low fat” But as conscientious weight watchers load up their shopping carts with fat-free foods week after week, many discover this alarming fact: their weight is going up!

Getting fat on low fat

Although we’ve been taught to think of fat as the culprit in the weight-loss battle, clearly this is only part of the whole diet picture. Just because a food is fat-free doesn’t mean it’s calorie-free. Many low fat foods are actually very high in sugar and carbohydrate calories. And these calories, when eaten in excess, become converted into the one thing we’ve been taught to avoid–fat!

Lose the fat from your body, not your diet

That’s why the Herbalife Programmes stress the importance of a well-balanced diet that includes enough “good fats,” such as those found in fish and olive oil, together with Herbal lifes highly nutritious protein shakes and snacks.
