You think you’re doing everything right by eating healthy food (most of the time) and getting to gym a couple of times a week, but the stubborn weight refuses to budge. What’s going on?
The answers might surprise you…
Mistake No. 1: You skip meals
There is a misconception that skipping breakfast – or any meal – saves calories. The truth is that if you eat fewer than three meals a day, you usually end up eating more during the course of the day.
Mistake No. 2: You drink your calories
Liquid calories from alcohol, smoothies, coffee with sugar, sweetened juices, teas, and cooldrinks can really contribute to weight gain, since it’s easy to forget to factor those calories into your daily calorie allowance.
Mistake No. 3: You’re not sleeping enough
Not getting enough quality sleep can disrupt your hormones, affect your metabolism and put your body under stress. Your body then creates carb and fat cravings to get more energy, which is why you eat more on days when you sleep less.
Mistake No. 4: You overeat healthy foods
Nuts, avocados, whole wheat pasta, olive oil and dark chocolate are all natural and healthy, but they have lots of calories. You still need to watch how much you eat of the good stuff.
Mistake No. 5: You think about exercise a lot
A French study showed that simply thinking about exercise can cause you to eat 50% more. The reason? People think that the upcoming workout gives them license to snack.
Mistake No. 6: You only do cardio
Weight training is an important part of losing weight. Getting off the treadmill and lifting weights will not only build lean muscle and increase your metabolic rate, but you’ll keep burning calories long after you’re done.
Mistake No. 7: You drink diet cooldrink
Sugar-free might sound like diet heaven, but research shows that consuming artificial sweeteners promotes weight gain by changing the composition of gut bacteria, which could lead to glucose intolerance.
Mistake No. 8: You’re too focused at work
If you sit for even just a few hours, your body stops making a fat-inhibiting enzyme called lipase. Stand and stretch every hour to boost your metabolism, or fidget all day (tap your feet or bounce your chair) to increase calorie burn.
Mistake No. 9: You drink too much water
Yup, there is such a thing as drinking too much water. Doing this actually dehydrates the body by over hydrating. A “normal” intake usually falls between two and three litres, but find what works for your body and your specific needs like exercise levels and your body’s composition.
Mistake No. 10: You could have a medical problem
Certain diseases can cause you to pick up weight, or prevent you from losing it. Consult your doctor if you suspect any of the following conditions: Insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, chronic stress, Cushing’s syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), depression, leaky gut or adrenal fatigue.
I’m asthmatic is it safe for me to use herbex ?
Hi Noxolo.
It should be fine to use our products, but keep in mind that our products are completely natural and will thus contain plant materials. If you are allergic to any type of pollen, grasses or any other plant based material, we would recommend that you use our products with caution and discontinue use if your symptoms get worse.
A year ago I had a total Thyroidectomy and gained some weight. Can I use Herbex Ultra slim with Euthyrox (medicine)?
Hi Lucinda
I highly recommend that you first consult with your medical health care professional and get the thumbs up from him or her regarding this. There are too many interactions between our products and medication to say for sure.
Can I mix herbalife comps with herbed
I have been taking it for 3 weeks now
Hi Troy
Yes, Our products are safe to use with other products.
Hi.
I want to know if I can combine/drink both slimmers age 20-40 and fat burner tablets together?
Hi Edith,
I hope that you are doing well. I would not advice using both products. If you are looking to lose a few kg’s then Slimmers range is recommended, however if you are looking to lose more then Fat Burn tablets would be best.
Contact me if u have any further questions.
Thank You,

I’m a guy 20 years old, I’m 84 kg i need to lose in a 4 weeks time… I want to be around 70’s which product should i take?
Hi Xitshembiso
We are really glad that you have decided to include Herbex in your weight loss journey. We are sorry to say but losing 14kgs in 4 weeks would not be possible nor would it be advisable. Losing and keeping off weight in a holistic way is about making a complete lifestyle change using exercise, Herbex, healthy eating, plenty of water and a laser like focus.
That being said, If you are not on any chronic medication and not sensitive to our herbal stimulants green tea and guarana you can try our Attack the Fat for Men or Fat Burn Tablets for Men.
Using this along with the above mentioned frequent exercise, healthy eating, good water intake and follow through you can expect to lose weight and keep it off after 8 to 12 weeks. A healthy amount of weight to lose is between 0.5 and 1 kg per week. Anything more could start affecting your body.
Please feel free to email us at [email protected] if you have any question or need assistance.

Hi Gauhelo
Thank you for your enquiry
If you are not breastfeeding then you can use the Fat burn tabs safely. It would be best to use another form of contraceptive for the first 2 weeks of using the product.
Hi Gauhelo
It is only safe if you are not breastfeeding. If you are still breastfeeding then please try the Slimmers Original Range. This is safe to use if your baby is 6months.

Hi
I am 39 and weigh 67, but because of my height ” i’m very short” i need to weigh 55 so i look very abnormal. All my life i have wighed between 55 and 60. I gave birth and now i am struggling to loose weight. I started taking Herbex fat burn concentrate and i have been farting none stop. Is this normal or.
Hi Sibongile, The Fat burn concentrate helps to increase your metabolism, so your body will have lots of winds in the beginning, but this should go away. Try lower your dosage slightly or rather use the tablets if it does not stop after 3 weeks. Make sure you eat healthier and drink lots of water. Good luck.
Hi

Good luck.

The Fat burn drops causes energy in the tummy and this is what is causing the bloating. Please try and drink more water to assist with the constipation
What is really the difference between the herbex fat burn, attack the fat and skimmers ranges. And which range is the most effective.
Hi Tshilidzi
The Fat burn range has a stimulating effect where as the Attack the fat works like a laxative.

Im 25 weighng 90kg i want to be atlist 60 im on Arv can i drnk herbex
Hi Nthabiseng. In general, it is not recommended that a person with HIV diets, as they need all the nutrition they can get. That being said, our safest products for you would be the Attack the Fat product range, and the Detox range.
Remember to eat as healthy as you can and to drink enough water – at least 6-8 glasses per day. Exercise is also very important.

Hello Nonkululeko. Natural, healthy weight loss is about 0.5-2kg per week, depending on your lifestyle. Most people lose about 2-3kg per month. There are no side effects other than the detox that you will go through when you start. However, if you are taking chronic medication, you need to consult with your doctor first.
