And your weight will increase again when you do stop, just like people who go off fad diets. Good luck with that.
RM300 a month for the rest of your life is not a seriously large amount of waste of your resources?Well, ...I have better things to do with my money.
Yep. A form of yo-yo dieting. It's all the same, you see it everywhere from well known celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey to your average Joe.
So, we take Herbalife, we lose weight, then we stop. We continue with our normal eating habits, we gain weight again, so.... we take Herbalife all over again. The cycle repeats.
Man... i NEVER get some of you people ( I ain't implying everyone). Why the hell look for a MAGIC PILL/FORMULA/SUPPLEMENT for losing weight when it's plain old fashioned exercise and a good diet. For Christ's sake, no one's asking people to eat cabbage and soup every day!
A few minor changes to your diet; eg. a reduction of 500 calories a day WILL result in a gradual weight loss.
The key is gradual loss in fat. Most people make stupid ass unrealistic goals like wanting to lose 20 kgs in a month, etc. That's plain ridiculous. Yeah, you will lose weight, but also a lot of muscle mass. I may be a bodybuilder, but i'm talking about the average person's lean muscle mass which is responsible for elevating the metabolism and burning fat even at rest. People going on crash diets resulting in a way too rapid weight loss will cause loss of fat AND muscle. So? Less muscle, down goes your metabolism and you're forced to reduce your calories even further to compensate for the lower metabolism. Who's gonna have that kind of fanatical discipline?
At the end of the day, it's calories in vs calories out which matters, of course where those calories come from can make a huge difference. Of course, if one goes on a liquid diet like Herbalife, you're bound to lose weight no matter what.
What? Some of you people think the key to losing weight comes from moonbeams and pixie spells? Sheesh... gimme a break. I'm not preaching scientific bullshit here, just plain logic. People can show links to whatever websites they want, they can produce whatever scientific studies they want. It is still exercise and smart minor applications to diet. My 0.02.
