Steve Komadina has lost 115 lbs with Herbalife and he is a big promoter of healthy life styles.
On average, expect to lose between 5-7 lbs and lower % body fat in 3 days...
The LaBamba Diet is not a starvation diet. Instead, it is based on science and nutrition. To lose fat and not merely water weight, we must get our bodies to burn fat. Glucagon is the hormone that increases the fat-burning capacity of our bodies while insulin is the hormone that encourages the body to store fat.
The science behind the Labamba Diet is that we will increase our body's production of glucagon and decrease the body's production of insulin. Glucagon is released in the body when we eat protein and insulin is released to regulate carbohydrate metabolism. During the Labamba diet, we will limit your consumption of carbohydrates (thereby suppressing the body's production of insulin) and increase your consumption of protein (thereby increasing the body's production of glucagon).
NOTE: La Bamba is safe for everyone except those who have kidney problems or renal disease, in which case, they have to limit their consumption of protein.
La Bamba is safe for diabetics, people with high-blood pressure and anyone who has a normal functioning kidney.
For Day 1, you will have:
2 Gallons of the protein drink (flushes out breakdown products of protein from your kidneys with a lot of glucagon released)
Make the protein drink according to the following instructions. Have this drink throughout Day 1 and have no other food or drink. This is the only day where you might feel a bit hungry, but rest assured that your body is not starving. Each package of the Beverage Mix has 15 grams of protein. You will be consuming 8 packages, which means you will be getting 120 grams of total protein in Day 1. To make the protein drink:
1) Take 2 gallon jugs of water.
2) In EACH gallon of water, mix:
* 4 packets of Protein Mix Packet
* 2 teaspoons of Herbal Concentrate Tea
* 9 capfuls (2 fl oz) of Herbal Aloe Drink Concentrate
For Day 2, you will have:
5 Shapeworks Formula 1 Shakes,
2-3 cups of Herbal Concentrate Tea,
at least 8 glasses of water
Shapeworks Formula 1 Shakes are based on the NASA concept of the Complete Meal - you get all the nutrients and phytonutrients you need. Furthermore, every shake contains 20 grams of protein, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 6.4 grams of fat and only 250 calories. For Day 2 you will have a total of 100 grams of protein, 110 grams of carbohydrates, 32 grams of fat and 1250 calories.The protein-rich shakes will suppress your hunger and the thermogenic effect of protein will help the body release glucagon which turns your body into a fat-burning machine.
To make each shake add:
2 scoops of Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix
1 tablespoon of Formula 3 Personalized Protein Powder
8-12 ounces of either soy or low fat or skim milk (no fruit juice)
Do not add fruit! (We want to restrict your intake of carbohydrates on this day)
For Day 3, you will have:
2 Formula 1 Shakes (made the same way as in Day 2) - no fruit or fruit juice,
1 colorful meal - consisting of lean meat or fish, 3-4 servings of vegetables, salad, small potato or half cup of rice,
2-3 cups of Herbal Concentrate Tea,
at least 8 glasses of water
CONCLUSION: WHY THIS PROGRAM WORKS
Glucagon (released when you eat protein)
- Raises Blood Sugar
- By Converting Protein and Fat into Glucose
- Burns Fat
- Decreases Cholesterol Production
- Increases Release of Growth Hormone
- Decreases smooth muscles cells in vessel walls
- Makes Kidney release fluid
- Releases fat from fat cells for energy
- Makes dietary fats into ketones for energy
- Shifts metabolism into a Burning Mode
Insulin (released when you eat a carbohydrate)
- Lowers Blood Sugar
- Increases the Storage of Fat
- Stimulates liver's synthesis of Cholesterol
- Glucose Decreases
- Growth Hormone Released
- Stimulates growth of arterial
- Smooth muscle cells
- Increases Appetite
- Makes Kidneys Retain Fluid
- Shifts Metabolism into Storage Mode
