They’re easy, fast, tasty and most of all, nutritious! Hear from Dr. David Heber
about why ShapeWorks™ Formula 1 shakes are a healthy meal.
Q: What are the components that make Formula 1 a healthy, satisfying meal?
A: Formula 1 provides high quality soy protein, healthy carbohydrates, vitamins,
minerals, amino acids and other nutrients to provide the cells of your body what
they need for optimum health. You will be able to tell the difference from your
usual breakfast after the very first shake.
Q: Is the soy protein in Formula 1 beneficial to both men and women?
A: Yes, the soy protein in Formula 1 is definitely beneficial for both men and
women. Numerous scientific studies demonstrate the benefits of soy protein for
heart health when included as part of a healthy, low-fat diet, which is why
Formula 1 has a healthy heart symbol on every label (except Tropical Fruit
flavor, which contains less soy).
Q: How can one product, Formula 1, be ideal for both weight loss and weight
maintenance?
A: Research shows that drinking two shakes a day and eating one healthy meal
will lead to weight loss, while having one shake a day will keep the weight off
for years. Formula 1 is the ideal meal for everyone, whether they want to lose
weight, keep off the weight they have lost or just maintain their naturally
healthy weight.
Q: If I’m lactose intolerant, can I use soy milk to make a shake?
A: Yes, simply add soy milk to Formula 1 and you should have no problem. By the
way, most humans are lactose intolerant to some degree. You lose nothing when
you substitute soy milk for dairy milk from a health standpoint.
Q: How does protein help someone lose fat tissue instead of lean tissue?
A: By eating enough protein to maintain your lean tissue while losing fat, you
keep your metabolism revved up. Every pound of lean tissue burns 14 calories per
day compared to only about three calories burned for each pound of fat per day.
So keeping the lean and losing the fat helps you burn more calories at rest.
This is also called the resting metabolic rate or metabolism for short.
Q: How does metabolism influence weight-loss?
A: Whenever you eat more calories than you burn through exercise and through
your metabolism at rest, you will store the extra as fat. So having a higher
metabolism can help you maintain your weight by balancing calories in and
calories out. Exercises that strengthen your muscles improve your ability to
burn calories at rest.
Q: What are the benefits of plant-based protein, or soy?
A: Soy protein naturally has a different composition than animal proteins that
makes it healthier for your blood vessels, bones and kidneys than animal
protein. Soy protein also has isoflavones, which together with soy protein as
found in Formula 1, has an FDA-approved heart-health claim. That is why you see
a heart on the label.
