Which ingredients in it do you think will help you speed weight loss?

Someone with no qualifications sold you an expensive product with a promise of speedy weight loss which it has no actual ability to provide. Sorry.

It's not a proper meal. It's a poor meal replacement.

If I remember right it is too low calorie to be labelled as a meal replacement here in the UK. I think it was low protein and fat also. (Which are the 2 macros your body needs)

What do the ingredients tell you rather than the pedlars?

By law, meal replacement products must provide the recommended amount of nutrients needed for good health and their composition must conform to certain standards defined by a European Directive. According to this Directive – the guidelines for which are based on research looking at the nutritional needs of dieters – meal replacement products must contain between 200 and 400 calories, at least 25 percent protein and 23 vitamins and minerals.

Of the Herbalife products, it's not bad quality: https://labdoor.com/rankings/meal-replacements


But at 98 calories, you are barely going to get any nutrition. So the reason it would speed up weight loss, if you used the shake instead of a meal, is because of how few calories there are.


On the other side, you don't always want to speed up weight loss. More often, you want a moderate pace and adequate nutrients to support your body image goals... something aggressive weight loss rarely supports.

If someone other than a RD or MD recommend this then ignore their recommendation. If a RD or MD/PA/NP recommended this then find a new practitioner. You don't need this to lose.
