Hi all -- I've realized that this site needs a MAJOR overhaul in order for it to serve the needs of our target audience -- hikers, campers, extreme sports fans, festival goers, girl and boy scout groups -- anyone who has the need for superb concentrated low-weight, high energy, high protein foods.
When you put your body into a circumstance where it is stressed beyond what is normal for it, it is a good idea to have a supply of the kind of foods that can meet the needs of that stressed system. This is where Herbalife comes in -- we've found the perfect solution for outdoors folks of all persuasions, and we want to build a site that serves this group of people.
So we'll see you on the other side!
Lots of love,
Julie and Patrick

Burning Man Amusement
Right away you need to know the following has nothing to do with Herbalife -- we were rolling with laughter this AM at the SF Chronicle's Leah Garchik items about Burning Man, and I had to share one with you. She herself received this item from a reader who'd found it on the Ride Sharing Section of Craigslist. There -- I believe everyone has the proper credits! Let's go:
"A gent on his way to Burning Man will be traveling 'with a truckload of goats and I need someone (preferably female or a gay guy) to tend the goats while I do the driving. If you can sit in the back of the truck with about 20 goats and keep them calm for a couple of days, then I can give you a free ride up to the Burning site.'
As to the cargo cavorting on the playa, 'when we get there,' says the ad, 'the goats will either be let loose on the desert or killed for barbecue.' The driver specifies that he doesn't want any 'perverts,' and the goats are off-limits for personal encounters."
Snark! That was too funny to let pass by, even though this has nothing to do with my fave nutritional products, it has EVERYTHING to do with Burning Man. 'Tis the season!
Have a great one out there!

How to Thrive at the Burn!
Old Black Rock Ranger Patrick here: I've got something for all my friends who are headed to Burning Man and into the oven of Northern Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Everyone should know that human beings weren't meant to live in a place like the Black Rock Desert; the bones along the old Emigrant Trail attest to that.
Water is the precious stuff of life that everybody coming to Burning Man has to bring with them. The body cannot live on water alone; you have to add something. I'm suggesting some "targeted cellular nutrition" along with some help on the hydration front.
The B-Man Nutrition Survival Pak consists of a variety of Herbalife products specifically chosen for high protein low sugar content and ease of use. This company has been in the business of cellular nutrition for thirty years, using good science to change people's lives on a molecular level. Julie and I can attest to their particularly fine quality and I wouldn't offer anything that I hadn't been using myself and thriving on.
The concentrated nutrition in these survival paks will help get you through the rigors of life on the Playa. Your body will thank you. The basic B-Man Survival Pak includes:
5 Formula One Instant Meal Replacement Shakes (just add water -- cold, icy water if you can get it) providing 20 grams of lactose free protein and a host of vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients. Chocolate Pak or Vanilla Pak
Pak includes a FREE plastic shaker which is designed to optimally prepare the instant shakes, as well as the other beverages (Liftoff, H3O, and Best Defense). But you gotta really shake it!
5 delicious, yummy Herbalife Deluxe Protein Bars (10 grams protein, 140 calories) -- candy bars with good karma! Mixed flavors include chocolate peanut, vanilla almond and lemon citrus.
10 H3O Fitness Drink tubes -- space-age hydration formula, much better for the body than gatorade. Comes in a small tubed packet; it's powdered, so add cold water to the shaker and rattle it hard! This drink will help keep you hydrated, which is a matter of life and death in the desert. 2 Citrus flavors; tasty.
5 Liftoff Packets - Liftoff is a big favorite. It is our all-around energy drink, formulated for peak concentration by award winning scientists. Comes in 6 unique flavors.
10 fizzy tablets of Best Defense: Vitamin C -- 1000 mg. Also includes free radical fighting echinacea, and zinc. Citrus flavors in a waterproof, dust proof cylindrical plastic tube.
These are the items that are included in the basic, one person 5 day pak. We give you a high amount of nutrition and a low volume of weight and space. The cost for the basic pak is $75.00 in person (we're in the San Francisco Bay Area in Marin County), plus $10 if we need to ship it somewhere. Please get your orders in as soon as possible -- call us if you have any questions.
ALSO AVAILABLE: THE DELUXE B-MAN SURVIVAL PAK
The Deluxe Survival Pak contains:
10 pouches Formula One Instant Shakes
10 packets Liftoff
10 Deluxe Protein Bars
15 tubes H3O
1 ten tablet tube of Best Defense
The cost for the Deluxe Survival Pak is $125- Add an extra $15 for shipping.
NEW!! One Day Survival Paks!!
1 Formula One Instant Shake
1 Packet Liftoff
1 Deluxe Protein Bar
1 tube H3O
1 package roasted soy nuts
Shaker available for $5.oo extra (keep it for next time!)
The cost for the One Day Pak is $15 plus $5 for shipping.
Ranger Patrick sez that you could just about get by on the contents of the Basic Pak for the whole time at the Burn, depending upon your age and metabolism. You could absolutely get by on the Deluxe Package -- it's the equivalent of two meals a day plus drinks and snacks. A healthy lifestyle does include some good solid food, and if you have a kitchen at Burning Man, cool -- you can cook fresh vegetables and such. However, you may find your inclination to cook decreasing day by day, making these instantly available meals a very healthy, satisfying option.
These are portable, potable pouches of protein and power!! Just add water.
If you're on the run from a dust-storm or hiding from the heat in someone else's ramada, these Herbalife shakes are just the best. You should always carry one around with you. Period.
One caveat from Ranger Patrick: the packaging on this Playa Protein is not Leave No Trace approved, but there's not much of it; please take it all home with you. Leave No Trace.
Happy Trails,
