A Journey into Herbalife Science

• Cutting edge research:
– We are the first to identify the many powers of new plant nutrients such as those in the Pomegranate.
– Power of green tea properties.
• 150,000 plants on Earth – researching those which have the power to make a difference.
• Testing products and ingredients using the latest technology.
• Hundreds of studies of health benefits in humans – fighting the international
epidemic of obesity.

Herbalife – Ahead of the Times
1976: Shake Research – LA County Hospital
1980: Mark Hughes founds Herbalife®
1983: UCLA clinics – one person at a time
1993: Concept of Sarcopenic Obesity
1996: UCLA Center for Human Nutrition
2003: PPP
2003: Herbalife® SAB & NAB
2005 – 2009: Clinical studies provide proof of these concepts

Sarcopenic = loss of muscle
Obesity = increase in fat percentage

To Lose Fat Cells You Need to…
Have Energy Intake on your fat tissue.
Energy Expenditure

Fat Is Stored in Fat Cells
• When it comes to fat you are what you eat. If you eat too much fat your body
will have too much fat.
• If you eat the wrong types of fats, the bad fat stored in your body takes about
one year to clear out.
• You can lose your extra fat in a healthy way by eating less fat and calories.
• The body releases the fat for energy when it is needed and that is how you lose the excess fat from your body.
• You don’t want to have zero fat, but need a certain amount for health.
• The average percent body fat for men and athletic women is 15 to 20 percent, and for inactive women it is normally between 22 and 28 percent.

Body Protein
• Protein is stored in the cells of your muscles and organs.
• If you don’t eat enough protein, your body will break down the protein in your muscles and organs to produce energy.
• When you cut calories you must still meet your protein needs.
• By eating enough protein and exercising you can build muscle and change your shape forever.

The Difference Between Muscle and Fat Cells
Muscle cells burn more calories.
Fat cells tend to store calories.

Muscles are Adapted for Exercise.

Even if you look thin you can be fat.
MRI reveals fat around the Heart, Liver and Intestine in individuals with Normal Waist Circumference.
• Of the women scanned as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25)actually had excessive levels of internal fat.
• Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent. This is due to lack of exercise and too little protein in the diet.

Proving, Testing and Providing Powerful Results Today
• Clinical trials to demonstrate the science behind Herbalife products.
• 3 studies on F1, PPP and the power of protein (in Germany, USA, Korea). In Germany:

“Drinking protein-enriched meal replacement shakes lead to more effective weight-management than limiting calories alone”

“64% of those in the high protein group were considered to be at much lower risk of common health problems associated with being over-weight, compared with 41% who consumed the standard amount of protein”
