Can somebody please review my weight loss plan?

In response to the part about Herbalife shakes...No, don't buy into that.

As far as the diet plan, seems like your calorie intake is too low at 1200. What are your macros?

TABATA is more of HIIT which falls under cardio more than strength training. I don't see any heavy lifting in your proposed routine, you should consider incorporating it.

Thanks for the input.

My daily macros are set at:
Carbs: 150g
Fat: 40g
Protein: 60g

Can I ask why Herbalife is not a good idea?

I'll take on board the strength training. I have an alternate plan that uses dumbells and body weight (e.g push ups, planks) to work different muscle groups to enhance my swimming. Would stationary weight lifiting be more beneficial than using lighter weights in my TABATA style training? I say TABATA style because it's really a mix of aerobic, light weights, fast reps and body weight training.

As far as Herbalife, anytime you're trying to lose weight you're going to need to consume less calories than your body burns every day. When you do this, you tend to get hungry. Liquid calories tend not to fill you up when you consume them, so when you're losing weight you don't want to get any of your calories from liquid sources. This includes, meal replacement shakes, protein shakes, soda, juice, etc. The best way to stay full is to eat plenty of protein and fat as those two macronutrients tend to keep you full.

For your macro goals, your protein goal is absurdly low, and fat may be a little low as well. For dietary fat you want to consume a minimum of 0.35g per lb of your body weight. Dietary fat is important for hormone production, nutrient absorption, brain and organ function, as well as skin and hair health. For protein, it's recommended that you consume at least 0.8g of protein per lb of body weight. Sufficient protein intake is necessary to help prevent muscle loss while you're losing weight. Along with sufficient protein, it's important to lift heavy while losing weight to preserve muscle. Lifting heavy refers to using heavy enough weight so that your muscles fail to lift the weight in the range of 8-12 reps. This range has been shown to be optimal for muscle preservation while you're losing weight and optimal for muscle growth when you're gaining weight. The problem with using a Tabata style program as your only strength training is that it's in between cardio and weightlifting so it's like you're trying to do both but you end up not doing either very well.

I'll adjust my macros, I knew I was doing something wrong!

I understand what you're saying about filling up on food rather than liquid, yet everyone I meet who is using Herbalife is absolutely brimming with energy, their skin is clear, their minds are clear and their bodies look great. It's so tempting to get involved, I just don't know how I can get like that using food without a whole lot of effort!

In the end it's up to you, but in honesty, Herbalife is a pyramid scheme and a sketchy company lol, but do whatever you think is best for you. I just think it's a little ridiculous paying all that money when there is nothing inherently special about their product. You can get all the same benefits from eating food instead of drinking shakes. Studies have shown that people who lose weight with the aid of weight loss shakes or meal replacement shakes or very low calorie diets, no matter how much weight they lose, almost always gain it all back, if not more. This happens because they use a strategy to lose weight that they don't plan on implementing for the rest of their lives. If you don't learn how to eat properly, and adjust calories intake and macronutrient intake properly WHILE you're losing the weight, then you don't know how to carry on once you've lost the weight. It might sound crazy but maintaining your weight once you've lost weight is often times the hardest part, not the actual weight loss.
