Too many fast releasing carbohydrates lead to
weight gain
Traditionally
we were taught that carbohydrates should provide our body with
its primary supply of energy. However, many people have confused
fast releasing carbohydrates (pasta, cakes) and slow releasing
carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) eating too many of
the former-the tempting, convenient, tasty variety! Most
of us lead sedentary lives, so any excess energy from carbohydrate-rich
food) is stored as fat.
Orange juice, cereals
and toast for breakfast, rice for lunch, pasta for dinner and
rice cakes, chocolate crisps, and biscuits for snacks?!
"My diet had been almost all carbs i had no nutrition going
into my body"

How can
Herbal Vitality help me?
If you tried to get all the
protein you need from foods such as cheese, you would
consume too many calories, because these protein rich
foods come with extra fat calories.
Protein-enriched meal replacement
shakes, Protein Supplement Powder and High Protein Low Carbohydrate
snack products, contain protein sources which are easily absorbed
and assimilated, and which allow you to reach your body's protein
requirements without those unwanted calories.
Easy and convenient to
follow the programme, so will fit into a busy lifestyle.
For example, easy to take a shake for breakfast (in milk or
juice or yoghurt) to help balance blood sugar levels,
rather than skip breakfast altogether. Its fast food for smart
people!
How do
I include protein in my daily diet plan?
If your target is 90g of
protein per day, here's an example of how you can consume 90g
every day
|
Breakfast |
Formula 1
shake (18.9 g) + 2 tablespoons Formula
3 Protein Supplement Powder(10g )= 28.9g |
|
|
Lunch |
Formula 1 shake (18.9g)+2 tablespoons
Formula 3 Protein Supplement Powder (10g)= 28.95g |
|
|
Snack |
Protein Bar(10g) or Soy Nuts (11g) or
Soup |
|
|
Evening meal |
1 cup of tofu (20g) |
|
|
Total protein |
87.8
g |

Note: Adding
one to three level tablespoons of protein supplement
powder to your meal replacement shakes can add up to
15g of high quality protein. You can also add F3 to
sauces. |

And for those concerned
about Cholesterol levels? The inclusion of at least 25g
Soya protein per day as part a diet low in saturated fats can
help reduce blood cholesterol. Two
shakes provide 17.8 g of soya protein(71% of the suggested
intake of 25 g). An additional 7.2 grams may be obtained from
other foods, such as soy plus a serving of
Soy
nuts(10.6 g soya protein per 90g serving or
Protein supplement powder (4.5g soya protein/6g
serving) can provide over 25g of soya protein. And new
Gourmet Tomato Soup.
Protein comes in the form
of meat, soy products, cheese and dairy products. However, most
of these are in the form of animal proteins, which add greatly
to the bad cholesterol in our bodies. Therefore we need to
look for high quality proteins, in our diet, from non-animal
sources.
