Shaklee Corporation Launches Shaklee 180™ A Revolutionary New Weight Loss Program

PLEASANTON, Calif., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of Americans struggle with their weight, trying and repeatedly failing to stick to a healthy eating and exercise plan. Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., is introducing Shaklee 180™, an entirely new way to lose the right kind of weight, fat not muscle, and learn how to keep it off.

Shaklee 180 is a complete weight and, more importantly, inch loss program that anyone can do.  The initial 90-day plan includes energizing smoothees, snack bars, teas, and metabolism booster* to help you lose the extra pounds. The second 90-days is designed to teach you how to keep your new healthy weight for life – something most standard diets neglect to do. 

"At the heart of the Shaklee 180 products is leucine, an amino acid that signals your body to retain muscle so you lose the right kind of weight—fat not muscle," says Jamie McManus, M.D. and Shaklee 180 advisor. "On traditional diets, over 1/3 of weight loss could be muscle, which can result in a slower metabolism."

The comprehensive program is based on studies that show people who have community support, do it with others, and track their activities are more successful when it comes to dieting.  Shaklee 180 takes that to a whole new level with its Shaklee 180 app and unique reward system that offers great incentives from smaller weekly prizes to trips of a lifetime.

"One reason fad diets fail is that people set unrealistic goals.  With Shaklee 180, people learn how to maintain their weight loss with a realistic, convenient and affordable eating plan," says Harley Pasternak, bestselling fitness and diet author in 14 languages and 30 countries worldwide. 

Real results, great rewards – welcome to the Shaklee 180 difference.

What makes Shaklee 180 unique:

• Support: Vast online community offers support and camaraderie to keep you motivated.
• Tools: The new Shaklee 180 App will help keep you on course and even rewards you for losing weight. The Shaklee 180 App includes meal trackers, recipes, workout, and nutritional news and exercise tips from health and fitness experts.  When you use the app to track your progress you'll get the chance to win weekly prizes.
• Exercise: Shaklee 180 Workouts, based on BURST Interval Training, are designed to burn fat fast. These quick workouts can fit into even the busiest lifestyles.
• Rewards: There are two types of rewards—the first kind is rewards by action. Those who engage in the app can win weekly prizes such as coupons, iPods, blenders and more. The other types of rewards are for those who enter the "Healthy Competition," which involves uploading before and after photos to be entered to win large prizes such as dream vacations.**
• Referral Program: The '3 for Free' program rewards you for sharing Shaklee 180. Just help 3 people get on a Shaklee 180 kit of equal or greater value to your own, and get your next month's kit free, month after month (if they keep ordering).
