Whilst there is no need to count calories with this programme here is a guide allowing you to calculate how many calories and how many grams of protein in your shake.

Rather than counting calories, the key to success is eating 3 times a time to promote a healthy metabolism , looking at  the balance of carbs and protein in your diet, getting protein into every meal without the added fat and calories, limiting/avoiding carbohydrate snacks e.g. rice cakes, cereal bars, getting a balance between fruit, protein and vegetable snacks and drinking more water etc.

When you start your programme Herbal Vitality will provide info such as your resting metabolic rate (RMR) i.e. the number of calories you burn at rest during a 24-hour period. This is part of your personalised programme, which includes recommendations on daily protein, how many spoons of Formula 1/3 intake plus general tips and advice.

There are many ways to make your shakes including with milk, fruit juice and yoghurt. Boost the anti-oxidant content of your shake, for example, by adding fruit. Check out recipes here.
