Herbalife Products - Add More Protein
Into Your Diet For Less Fat. How to
get protein into every meal.
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.
