If you are truly convinced that you are sticking to your diet, but you are not losing weight or centimetres, you may be suffering from ‘unconscious eating’! Research shows that the average dieter often ‘forgets’ about up to 400 calories that they eat per day. This might slow your weight loss per week with a quarter!
Often we think that we have only 3 meals per day. What about the small things between meals? A cup of coffee with full cream milk and two sugars – are you counting this as a meal? It might not be a full meal, but it does have calories. The best way to find the hidden 400 calories in your diet is to keep a food diary: recording everything that you eat (this also helps you think twice about what you put in your mouth!).
Here are a few tips:
- Keep a food journal, write down everything that you eat
- Cathy Nonas (author of Outwit your Weight), suggests tying a red ribbon around your wrist. When you see this ribbon, think twice about what you are putting in your mouth.
- Pre-prepare your lunch daily or have a meal replacement. This saves on average 300 calories rather than opting for the cafeteria / fast food or convenience foods.
- Know your portions. A protein portion is the size of your palm, and as think as your hand on the pinkie side when you turn it sideways. Carbohydrates (i.e. pasta, potato, rice, etc) are the size of your fist and fruit and vegetables should fit into your cupped hands. This is the correct portion size and allocation per balanced meal.
Why Herbalife can help:
A meal replacement plan helps you to restrict those extra calories. With Herbalife you are able to choose from diet shakes, healthy meal bars, protein bars and further weight loss enhancers. The programme also helps you to stay full and satisfied from one meal to the next. Contact your Herbalife agent and wellness coach for products best suited to your needs.

Between 7am and 7pm you may be the perfect eater. But when the sun sets you indulge in wine, chocolate, constant nibbling, etc which just bumps up all the calories that you saved throughout the day.
Night time nibbling often happens as a result of not eating enough through the day. Maybe you were busy and it was easy to forget about eating, but once you relax you simply can’t stop snacking. It could also be comfort eating because you are bored, stressed or tired.
When we eat for other reasons than hunger and your body’s nutritional needs, it is much better to rather deal with the cause of our eating than to eat. If you are tired, get an early night. If stressed, take a relaxing bath or moderate exercise. If you are bored, phone a friend, do crafts or anything as long as it stops you from eating.
If your problem is specifically at night, here is a tip: you are more likely to give into comfort eating in dimly lit rooms (compare how much you can eat in a dark cinema). According to this study from the University of California, Irvine, switching to bright bulbs and light helps you to stay aware of what you are doing. Similarly, never eat out of a big packet of chips or tub of yoghurt. Dispense what you are going to eat, giving you more control over the portion size.
Why Herbalife can work for you:
Herbalife offers you nutritionally balanced meal replacements for weight loss or weight maintenance. The diet shakes will work perfectly for you for breakfast and lunch, and then you can enjoy a normal, healthy food dinner. Because your body will be getting the necessary nutrients and energy from the shakes, you will also not be that hungry in the evening. This is the ideal plan to keep your body nourished. Speak to your Herbalife agent about the Quickstart package and the Thermojetics Herbal Beverage for sustained energy and great weight loss results.
