But with over 50 Herbalife products to choose from, which ones should you choose for the best results? In this blog post, you will learn about 5 core Herbalife products that are perfect to start your weight loss journey with.
1. HERBALIFE FORMULA 1 SHAKE
Herbalife Formula 1 Shake has been Herbalife's flagship weight loss product for over 40 years now. With more than 4.8 million nutritional shakes served every day worldwide, it's definitely a product that shouldn't be missing from your Herbalife diet plan.
Formula 1 is a complete meal replacement and is designed to provide your body with all the micro- and macronutrients it needs in a simple, tasty form.
With just over 200 calories per serving and high protein content when made with skim milk, it will help you create the calorie deficit you need to support your fat loss.
Important benefits
- Low calorie - high nutritional content in each meal replacement

- Gluten-free and vegan
2. HERBALIFE PROTEIN DRINK MIX
Consuming an optimal amount of protein daily* is an important element of a successful weight loss plan. Protein Drink Mix (PDM for short) is the product that will help you increase your protein intake with ease, without increasing your calorie intake.
* For weight loss, we recommend a daily protein intake of between 1.6 and 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
As mentioned above, Herbalife Formula 1 Shake can be prepared with milk, milk alternative or PDM.
Making your shake with Herbalife Protein Drink mix “PDM” is our preferred way as PDM contains less sugar, fewer calories and much more protein than milk. Plus it will give your Herbalife Shake a lovely creamy consistency.
Another bonus is that you will be able to make your shake with just water = more convenient! Finally, Protein Drink Mix can also be used on its own as a quick, high protein snack.
Important benefits
- Increases protein and lowers sugar content in your Formula 1 shake
- 15g protein per serving
- Only 0.3 g sugar and fat
- 7 g carbohydrates per serving

- also perfect as a high protein snack
- Can be had as a vegan
3. HERBALIFE INSTANT HERBAL TEA
Herbalife Instant Herbal Tea is another product we highly recommend adding to your Herbalife diet plan. Not only will it give you a great energy boost, but it also promotes fat burning by increasing your metabolism.
It's great to have a cup of Herbalife herbal tea when you wake up in the morning and need a boost and/or when you feel tiredness creeping in and need an energy boost.
Important benefits

WHAT IS THE IDEAL HERBALIFE WEIGHT LOSS PLAN?
Now let's quickly take a look at how to actually use the above products in your diet to get the weight loss results you're after.
First of all, many people think that Herbalife is a "shake diet" and that all you do is drink shakes all day long. This is very far from the truth...
Below you will find the general structure of your Herbalife weight loss diet plan:
Herbalife Budget Solution
Breakfast: Shake (26 gr. Herbalife Formula 1 shake mix + 28 gr. PDM + 3 dl water)
Morning: Snack with lots of protein
Lunch: Shake (26 gr. Herbalife Formula 1 shake mix + 28 gr. PDM + 3 dl water)
Afternoon: Snack with lots of protein
Dinner: Balanced meal
Herbalife ultimate solution
Breakfast: Shake (26 gr. Herbalife Formula 1 shake mix + 28 gr. PDM + 3 dl water) & Herbalife tea and Herbal Aloe Mango
Morning: Snack with lots of protein
Lunch: Shake (26 gr. Herbalife Formula 1 shake mix + 28 gr. PDM + 3 dl water)
Afternoon: Snack with lots of protein + Herbalife tea & Herbal Aloe Mango
Dinner: Balanced meal + Oat and apple fiber drink
Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. We also recommend that you exercise regularly at least 3-5 times a week. As you can see, you will be eating 5 meals a day, so you will want to consume plenty of food to sustain you. 3 out of your 5 meals are regular foods, so you definitely won’t be drinking just Herbalife shakes.
The important focus for success is persistence.
Follow the plan every day, including weekends and holidays, and you will see amazing results.
I hope this quick guide helps you get a better idea of which Herbalife Nutrition products are good to start with. Some people start with just two Formula 1 shake tubs, others go all out.
It really depends on your budget, but everyone can choose what suits them.
