TO KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF,
you
need to make more informed
choices when it comes to
consuming carbohydrates.
The easiest way to broaden your
food plan and keep the extra
pounds at bay is to reintroduce
selected carbohydrates in steps.
Here’s how to do it:
- On a daily basis select one choice
from the yellow list in the
Thermojetics® High-Protein, Low-
Carb Program Guide to add to your
diet. This list includes a variety of
fruits and vegetables such as
apricots, blueberries, peaches,
plums, squash, tomatoes, zucchini
and peas.
OR
- Every other day, choose an item
from the red list in the Thermojetics®
High-Protein, Low-Carb Program
Guide to add to your diet. This
category includes brown rice, wholegrain
cereal, corn, lentils, pinto
beans, pasta, carrots and popcorn.
- It is very important to avoid
processed refined sugars, white
bread, pastries and pasta.

 Maintaining Without Gaining on the Thermojetics® High-Protein,Low-Carb Program
You’ve reached your weight-loss goals following the
Thermojetics® High-Protein, Low-Carb Program. Now
how do you go about maintaining your slimmer shape and
health improvements?
Phasing in carbohydrates.
Once you’ve reached your goal and are comfortable with your
results, your body should be able to process a limited amount of
carbohydrates without adverse effects. The key is to reintroduce a
wider range of foods on a gradual basis–not all in one sitting. Just
because you’re at an ideal weight and fit in smaller clothes doesn’t mean
you can abandon your healthier style of eating.
If you enjoy Thermojetics® Formula 1 - Protein Drink, now’s the time to reintroduce this greattasting
shake to your food plan. Because of the carbohydrate content, it’s best to limit
Formula 1 to one shake a day, and if you want another shake for a snack, use the Thermojetics® High-Protein, Low-Carb Shake Mix.
Healthy snacking should be a priority when
losing weight and maintaining it.
The Thermojetics® Thermojetics Gold High-Protein, Low-Carb Program
includes a delicious and nutritious selection of healthy
snacks that are perfectly suited for those maintaining
their weight loss. When you have a craving for a candy
bar, bite into a sweet and chewy Thermojetics® High-
Protein, Low-Carb Weight-Management Bar. Does
something salty and crunchy sound good? Rip open a
bag of Thermojetics® High-Protein, Low-Carb Weight-
Management Roasted Soy Nuts with Cardia® Salt.
Special occasions mean just that–special.
To keep weight off for good, certain carbohydrates
should continue to be restricted. But what happens
when a birthday arrives, a wedding is being celebrated
or a holiday is observed? Although you should always
avoid products made with white sugar, white flour
and certain root vegetables, these foods can be
consumed on rare occasions. The key word to
remember is rare, so be wise and frugal when it
comes to eating carbohydrate-rich foods that are high
in calories and fat and low in nutritional value.
If you follow these guidelines and make smart
carbohydrate choices, maintaining your weight should
be a smooth process. You’ve worked hard to reach
your weight-loss goal, now it’s important to reward
yourself with the beauty of maintaining it!
Q & A
Q: How long on the diet will it take before
my carbohydrate cravings disappear?
A:
Within 48 hours a restricted carbohydrate diet
will lead to you converting your own fat to energy.
Metabolizing fat induces a state referred to as ketosis
and generates a metabolic product known as
ketones. With ketosis, appetite is diminished and
carbohydrate cravings will disappear.
Q: If fruit is supposed to be so healthy, why
does the program allow almost none of it?
A:
Fruit is healthy and it is the intention of
Herbalife’s healthy way of life to return to the
consumption of fruit. During the initiation of a lowcarbohydrate
diet, fruit is restricted because it
contains naturally occurring sugar, which will stimulate
insulin and reduce the effectiveness of the diet. Within
a short time, when you achieve your weight goals,
fruit rather than bread, pasta or potatoes will be one
of the first things that we reintroduce. It is important to
remember to eat fruit in its whole form, because the
beneficial fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants are
mainly contained in the skin. We do not recommend
that you consume fruit juices.
Q: Are there any extra Herbalife supplements
that I can take to enhance the program?
A:
The consumption of Herbalife’s healthenhancing
supplements with the high-protein, lowcarbohydrate
way of eating is not any different from
Herbalife’s original weight-management program. Either Thermojetics® Gold Dietary Supplement, Thermojetics® Green and Beige Herbal Tablets or NEW Total Control may be used to enhance weight loss. It is
also essential to continue use of all of the other
Herbalife products.
The simple answer is that all of the Herbalife
supplements are equally important to maintain optimal
health on the low-carbohydrate program. The targeted
products should be consumed to address specific
concerns.
There is no difference in the Herbalife supplements
that should be consumed on the Thermojetics® Gold High-Protein, Low-Carb Program and
the Thermojetics® Green Weight-Management Program.
Supplementation is an essential part of optimal
Herbalife health.
Q: I miss my carbs. Will I ever be able to eat
pasta or have a baked potato again?
A:
Certainly. Once you have achieved your weightloss
goals, gradually reintroduce a limited amount of
carbohydrates into your diet. Initially add fruits and
vegetables, and in time you can reintroduce bread,
pasta and baked potatoes, but more intelligently.
Whole-grain breads and whole-grain pasta should be
your choices, and focus on consuming the potato
skins. Don’t mash or fry your potatoes, and you’ll
certainly be able to enjoy them again. A baked potato
with some of the white removed and an addition of
salsa can be a healthy option. Those individuals who
are successful with the low-carbohydrate approach to
weight loss should maintain a moderate carbohydrate
intake for life in order to maintain their ideal weight.
