This thread is entertaining to say the least. One of my pet peeves is when you're try to help someone who doesn't understand macros and try to stir a debate with you. It's like a lose/lose situation.

What's your TDEE / BMR? But just judging by the numbers, that looks healthy. Seems a bit high but I don't know what you put in, etc.

Not bad reads! Thanks for putting it all together.

It could be your diet. You're already low in weight and eating a lot less calories. If you eat lean meats/up the protein fats and strength workouts, you'll get those abs. You are right, there's no spot reduction for fat.
-
Track your macros and try some strength program. Try to hit your macros as best as possible. It'll be easier for you since you're not in the losing weight category.

As a general rule, you try your best to meet your macros while on a calorie deficit. Calorie deficit comes first. Macros come second. So if you want to retain as much LBM as possible, then your diet has to be a little stricter.

Trust what the personal trainer has to say. Try it out for 2-3 weeks before making judgment.

Herbalife serves a purpose but for most people, it isn't reasonable to maintain it as a lifetime goal. I rather change my lifestyle to a healthier one then rely on paying someone else to make it easier for me.

Like the others said, try a HRM (heart rate monitor) and see how accurate the workouts are. If it's true and you're not hungry, then perhaps see a doctor. Metabolism or other health related problems might come into play. If I workout as much as you did, burning that much calories, I'll be eating meat all day due to hunger
