The Herbalife LaBamba Diet


The Herbalife 3 Day Diet That Gets Results!

If you're struggling with starting a weight loss program or if you've seemingly hit a stubborn plateau, there is a 3 day solution for you.

The 3-day LaBamba Diet Program incorporates protein to keep you from getting hungry, an all-natural energy booster, and a very gentle digestive cleanse designed to help you begin a healthy weight loss program.

This program is safe and effective and endorsed by Dr. Steven Komadina, who is a prestigious member of Herbalife's Medical Advisory Board.

On average, expect to lose between 2 - 5kgs (5-7 lbs) and lower % body fat in 3 days...

The LaBamba Diet is not a starvation diet. Instead, it is based on science and nutrition. To lose fat and not merely water weight, we must get our bodies to burn fat. Glucagon is the hormone that increases the fat-burning capacity of our bodies while insulin is the hormone that encourages the body to store fat.

The science behind the Labamba Diet is that we will increase our body's production of glucagon and decrease the body's production of insulin. Glucagon is released in the body when we eat protein and insulin is released to regulate carbohydrate metabolism. During the LaBamba diet, we will limit your consumption of carbohydrates (thereby suppressing the body's production of insulin) and increase your consumption of protein (thereby increasing the body's production of glucagon).

NOTE: La Bamba is safe for everyone except those who have kidney problems or renal disease, in which case, they have to limit their consumption of protein.

La Bamba is safe for diabetics, people with high-blood pressure - anyone who has a normal functioning kidney.

Here is the plan in detail:

What you'll need to order:

  • 1 Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix (choose your favourite flavour)
  • 1 Formula Personalized Protein Powder
  • 1 Herbal Aloe Drink Concentrate (choose the Mango flavor if you have it in your country)
  • 1 Herbal Concentrate Tea (choose the original as it has double the "drink & shrink" power)
  • 2 Beverage Mix Packets (If available in your country)

Day 1

For Day 1, you will have:
3.8litre (1 Gallon) of the protein drink (flushes out breakdown products of protein from your kidneys with a lot of glucagon released) and also 3.8litre (1 Gallon) of water, alternating on the half hour as described below.
________________________________________


Make the protein drink according to the following instructions. Have this drink throughout Day 1 and have no other food or drink. This is the only day where you might feel a bit hungry, but rest assured that your body is not starving. Each package of the Beverage Mix has 15 grams of protein. You will be consuming 8 packages, which means you will be getting 120 grams of total protein in Day 1.

To make the protein drink:

1) Take 1 gallon containers
2) In one of the gallon containers, add:
8 packets of Beverage Mix Packets
1 heaping tablespoon of Herbal Concentrate Tea (original flavor)
12mls (4 fl oz) of Herbal Aloe Drink Concentrate
3) Fill the container with purified water. Shake to mix and store in the refrigerator.

also have 3.8litres (1 Gallon) of Purified Water to drink as pure water on the 1/2 hour for 8 hours

Drink 500mls 16 oz. glass every hour for 8 hours

Take Herbalife Nutritional Supplement tablets, NO food

Day 2


For Day 2, you will have:

5 Shapeworks Formula 1 Shakes (no fruit),
2-3 cups of Herbal Concentrate Tea,
at least 8 glasses of water
________________________________________

Formula 1 Shakes are based on the NASA concept of the Complete Meal - you get all the nutrients and phytonutrients you need. Furthermore, every shake contains 20 grams of protein, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 6.4 grams of fat and only 250 calories. For Day 2 you will have a total of 100 grams of protein, 110 grams of carbohydrates, 32 grams of fat and 1250 calories.

The protein-rich shakes will suppress your hunger and the thermogenic effect of protein will help the body release glucagon which turns your body into a fat-burning machine.

To make each shake add:
2 scoops of Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix
1 to 2 tablespoon of Personalized Protein Powder
250 - 350 mls (8-12 oz) of either soy or low fat or skim milk (no fruit juice)
Do not add fruit! (We want to restrict your intake of carbohydrates on this day)

Take tablets, NO additional food - only shakes made as above!

Day 3


For Day 3, you will have:
2 Formula 1 Shakes (made the same way as in Day 2) - no fruit or fruit juice,
1 colorful meal - consisting of lean meat or fish, 3-4 servings of vegetables, salad, small potato or half cup of rice,
2-3 cups of Herbal Concentrate Tea,
at least 8 glasses of water

After Day 3
Return to your regular Program Mealplan which consists of 2 shakes, 1 balanced meal, a healthy snack protein/fruit or veggie and supplements.

NOTE: When you hit a plateau, the dieter's tendency is to eat less (and exercise more). However, do not starve yourself! Instead, stay consistent and commit yourself to the mealplan. When you starve yourself, your body will start to conserve energy and store fat. If necessary, try the LaBamba Diet again. You can do this once per month.

Tips/QA:
Q: I am sensitive to caffeine. What should I do?
A: There is caffeine in tea. Use less Herbal Concentrate in your program. Put the Herbal Concentrate in first gallon only, not second so it won't keep them up all night. Or use half the dosage.

Q: Can you use it more than once a month?
A: Not recommended. This is a 3 day jump start program, not a long-term program. ShapeWorks program is designed for ongoing, long term results. Start next month with another boost with the La Bamba Diet, if wanted, but only once a month.

Q: Can you use herbal aloe concentrate or drink?
A: Yes, either one. If you prefer the drink, use the equivalent amount and reduce the water accordingly.

Glucagon (released when you eat protein)

  • Raises Blood Sugar By Converting Protein and Fat into Glucose
  • Burns Fat
  • Decreases Cholesterol Production
  • Increases Release of Growth Hormone
  • Decreases smooth muscles cells in vessel walls
  • Makes Kidney release fluid
  • Releases fat from fat cells for energy
  • Makes dietary fats into ketones for energy
  • Shifts metabolism into a Burning Mode

Insulin (released when you eat a carbohydrate)

  • Lowers Blood Sugar
  • Increases the Storage of Fat
  • Stimulates liver's synthesis of Cholesterol
  • Glucose Decreases
  • Growth Hormone Released
  • Stimulates growth of arterial
  • Smooth muscle cells
  • Increases Appetite
  • Makes Kidneys Retain Fluid
  • Shifts Metabolism into Storage Mode
