You need to supply your body with the right nutrients in right amounts so that it is able to shed those extra kilos without weakening the body. To serve this purpose, Herbalife has presented Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix which over the years has turned into Herbalife\u2019s star product. This completely vegetarian product has been formulated to assist the aspirers with their health and fitness goals especially weight loss and management. It has earned quite a reputation, all thanks to Herbalife\u2019s ferocious MLM module. Today, we will get into the details of this product.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: This product review is for Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix and NOT for Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix<\/strong> Alternative Proteins<\/u> <\/strong>or for Formula 1 Instant<\/u> Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix. <\/strong>These are 3 different products. Do not confuse one for another. Here is a quick brief:<\/p>\n

Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix<\/strong> Alternative Proteins<\/u>: <\/strong>As the name suggests, this product uses an alternative for protein source i.e. other than Soy. Protein has been extracted from pea, sesame and rice. Thus, this is a soy free and gluten free product. Nutrition wise both products are alike. Hence, if you are looking for a vegetarian meal replacement that is soy free as well, then this might be the one<\/p>\n

Formula 1 Instant<\/u> Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix: <\/strong>As the name suggests, this is an instant preparation i.e. it can be had on the go. The mix needs to be added to plain water and that is it \u2013 your nutritious meal replacement is ready and hence, it can be had anytime, anywhere. It contains soy as the protein source but is dairy-free. However, the label does mention that it is manufactured in a milk processing unit. Hence, traces of lactose might be present.<\/p>\n\r\n

Product Description<\/h2>\n

It might interest you to know that Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix is one of the first health supplements to be launched by Herbalife. It is quite commendable that even till date, this product is embraced as Herbalife\u2019s best selling product. This Healthy Meal Nutrition Shake Mix acts as a meal replacer that provides your body with all the vital nutrients with a minimum amount of calorie. Apart from providing nutrition, it also keeps you fuller for long so that you can curb your hunger and food cravings. Formula 1 provides Protein in the form of Soy Protein Isolate, Carbohydrates, Fibers, 21 Vitamins and Minerals with as low as 90 calories per serving and is certified as gluten free. The idea is to gain nutrition from this low calorie liquid meal and cut down on your high calorie solid meals.\u00a0 This way, Formula 1 assists in your weight management goal without depriving your body of any kind of nutrition. The best part is that the product comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Hence, if you feel that Formula 1 magic is not working for you then you can demand your money back from Herbalife.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Herbalife<\/p>\n

Since it is a meal replacement product, the list of ingredients is pretty exhaustive. We would like to highlight the major ingredients here that are crucial from weight loss and management point of view. The pluses and minuses of this product lie in these ingredients.<\/p>\n

The major source of protein for Formula 1 is Soy in the form of Soy Protein Isolate<\/strong>. Apart from this, it also contains Casein \u2013 a form of milk protein. However, since the label mentions only about the amount of protein obtained from Soy, we can assume that casein is present in negligible amounts. Soy is a great vegetarian protein source but the only worrisome part is that Herbalife does not state the source of Soy. Almost 90% of the soy available is GMO \u2013 i.e. its natural genetic structure has been altered with Genetically Modified Organisms. If it is a non-GMO soy, then its great but if it is indeed GMO soy then you will need to reconsider your choice for meal replacer.<\/p>\n

Fiber<\/strong> is crucial for the success of any meal replacement product. Cellulose Powder, Rise Fiber, Psyllium Husk Powder and Corn Bran seem to be the major sources of Fibers in this product.<\/p>\n

Fructose<\/strong> is the major sugar component in this product. The product utilizes artificial fructose as well as derived from beet and cane sugar. Fructose just like glucose is digested by the body to release energy. However, if not digested properly, fructose is stored in the body as fat which contradicts your weight loss goals.\u00a0 May be that is why Herbalife recommends to add fruits to the serving. Fruits have natural enzymes that helps in metabolizing Fructose. With the Fructose being utilized efficiently, it is a rich source of energy.<\/p>\n

Apart from these, there are various fruit and herb powders<\/strong> like Papaya Fruit powder, Blueberry Powder, Honey Powder, Ginger Root Powder etc. that together provide the 21 vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n

Another major component is Inulin<\/strong> that acts as a Prebiotic. It thus, helps in maintaining the beneficial flora that exists in our gut which in turn improves digestion and metabolism. It also contains Aminogen \u2013 an enzyme complex that helps in digestion of proteins.<\/p>\n

Nutrition<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"HerbalifeThe task of a meal replacer is to provide you with enough nutrition so that you can cut down on your solid meals. Hence, it is important for the meal replacer to keep you fuller for long i.e. it should be a hunger suppresser.\u00a0 Let us see, if Formula 1 is able to achieve this:<\/p>\n

Protein is the most crucial nutrient here. It has been clinically proved that fat loss is more rapid when the diet is protein rich. The protein intake is directly proportional to fat loss as protein keeps you full for long and signals the brain to curb hunger. Another nutrient that does a great job at keeping you full is Fiber. Hence, any meal replacement is rich in these two nutrients.<\/p>\n

Each serving of Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix i.e. 25 grams provides 9 grams of protein. On adding to milk, this could go up to 15-17 grams (depends upon the quality of milk). This concentration is indeed good but since this is a meal replacement drink, this concentration is not great. This much of protein won\u2019t be enough to keep you full or to suppress your hunger for long. Fiber concentration of 3 grams is workable (most of the meal replacers go with this amount of fiber) provided you increase the protein intake by adding Formula 1 to some other protein rich source. Even Herbalife recommends using Formula 1 Shake Mix with Herbalife Formula 3 Personalized Protein Powder to increase the overall protein intake which is crucial for weight loss and management.<\/p>\n

Second point is the sugar content. Herbalife has used Fructose as the sweetening agent that could be a concern for reasons we have stated above. With Formula 1, you take in 9 grams of sugar with each serving. If you can monitor your overall sugar intake, then this part should not bother you much.<\/p>\n

It does a pretty good job of combining the nutrients and surely presents a complete meal however, when it comes to satiety which is very important for a meal replacer, this product is surely going to fall short. If only Herbalife could increase the amount of protein in this product, it could help to increase the credibility of Formula 1.<\/p>\n

Use<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix aims at giving your body a balanced liquid meal that is rich in nutrition and low in calories. It acts a meal replacer and assists the user with weight management. Even if weight loss is not your goal, you can still take this product simply for health maintenance.\u00a0 For the sake of health maintenance, it can be taken by anyone over 4 years of age. However, for weight management, it is not recommended for kids.<\/p>\n

This is a meal replacer to aid in weight management and health maintenance. It has no quick acting protein source like Whey and has considerable amount of sugar and hence is not recommended for use by bodybuilders.<\/p>\n

Package <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Herbalife Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix is available in 500-gram pack that provides 20. In India, it is available in French Vanilla, Mango, Dutch Chocolate and Orange Cream Flavors.<\/p>\n

Availability<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Herbalife Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix is available with almost all the leading online stores. There are no Herbalife stores as the company sells its products through MLM (Multi Level Marketing). Hence, you will need to look for a nearby located Herbalife associate. You can do so through Herbalife website.<\/p>\n
