When used in conjunction with a healthy diet and fitness programme, Formula 1 is the ideal healthy meal that contains soy protein to help you build lean muscle mass so you can concentrate on performing to your highest potential.
Every time I take the field, my single goal is to stop others from scoring. When you have a ball traveling towards you at up to 85 miles-per-hour, that means you need incredible mind-body reaction time. My solution? Simple... I useHerbalife products during every practice and every game. Nothing I've tried before or since has given me a more competitive edge.

Step One : Muscles = Fuel Tanks
Rapid response fuel is stored as carbohydrate (muscle glycogen). Eat carbohydrate-rich foods before exercise to slow down drain on your fuel tanks
Step Two : Optimum Time to Top-Up with Carbohydrates
Large meal: 4-6 hours before activity Lighter meal: 2-3 hours before activity Snack: Up to one hour before activity
Step Three : Keep Your Fuel Topped Up
Keep Your Fuel Topped Up For long duration activities (60 minutes plus), drink fluids with a weak solution of simple carbohydrates
Step Four : Make use of your reserve fuel tank
Stored body fat = fuel for long-haul events. Although we have a potentially unlimited supply of fuel from stored fat, we can only burn fat as a fuel when combined with carbohydrates.
Step Five : The importance of fluid
Drink fluids at least every 15 minutes. Do not wait until you are thirsty!
Step Six : Protein for muscle maintenance and muscle growth
You need 1.25 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight (1.25 grams/kg for ‘ball’ sports and 1.50 grams/kg for more extreme activities such as marathon running and body building).
Step Seven : Protein vs. Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates = instant fuel for the muscles. Protein repairs damaged muscles, maintains muscle mass and increases girth
Step Eight : Best time to refuel the tanks (muscles)
Within 30 minutes of ending exercise, take in easily digestible carbohydrates. These are converted to glucose and stored as glycogen, your quick fuel.
Step Nine : Reducing recovery time
Increase antioxidant nutrients. Ensure adequate supplies of protein.
Step Ten : Supplementation
Multivitamin and mineral supplements assist the body's chemical reactions, regulatory processes, and form structures important for athletes who may be susceptible to decreased immune systems due to excessive physical exertion.
Using Herbalife's Formula 1, 2 & 3 is the best starting point for any athelete, helping you to Fuel, Refuel, Repair and Recover with maximum efficiency. With a simple personalised programme you can easily achieve optimum energy levels and safely maintain the highest levels of personal performance.
