“We couldn’t believe the difference we felt with Herbalife!”
Weighed down by ill health
For both Zina and Svein Jodestol, excess weight had been a life-long struggle. Says Svein, “After I stopped smoking I gained about 60 pounds. I tried diet after diet, but always seemed to gain back whatever weight I was able to lose. In addition, as a Chief Engineer at sea, I drank a lot of coffee and my health was poor. I had stomach ulcers, allergies and asthma.” Zina also had stomach problems, and although she was always athletic, her healthy appetite caused her to carry about 20 excess pounds.
Slim and healthy
When Zina and Svein discovered Shapeworks, they couldn’t believe the difference they felt. In a matter of months Svein slimmed down to his ideal weight. Zina also lost her excess weight and has been able to keep it off for five years. “My skin cleared up and my stomach problems were over in a few weeks,” enthuses Zina.
Sharing their success
Today Zina and Svein enjoy running their Herbalife business together and helping others achieve weight-loss success. Says Zina, “I am always excited when people call and tell me how great they feel or how much weight they’ve lost. The results of our customers excite us far more than the financial rewards of the business!”*
Food diary
Formula 1 Protein Shake for breakfast and lunch. An apple or nectarine mid-morning and baby carrots with raw white cabbage for an afternoon snack. Vegetables and salmon for dinner.

Best diet tip

Favorite “thin n’ fit activity”

An extensive questionnaire generated responses from more than 200 U.S. Herbalife Independent Distributors about their weight-loss programs and results. They reported weight loss ranging from 4 pounds to 167 pounds and a reduced body mass index (BMI) of 1.5 points to 24.1 points, suggesting that consumption of Herbalife products is associated with weight loss and improvement in BMI in those ranges.
