The best time to really boost your calcium intake is in your 20s.   Couple this with a stress decade in your twenties, mostly full of long working / studying hours, convenience food, dating and late nights, it is really important to supplement with vitamins and minerals, and especially also calcium.  From the age of 30, your bone density starts to deteriorate.

The solution is as simple as drinking two 250ml glasses of low-fat or fat-free milk per day.  This provides you with about 620mg of calcium.  Other great food sources of calcium is broccoli.

Whilst you are having the 2 glasses of milk per day, why not to a combination of healthy nutrition by adding Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix and Protein Powder to your milk.  This provides you with a meal replacement in a glass, boosting your vitamin and mineral intake and providing you with loads of energy for this stressful decade.  The further benefits would be that of weight loss and weight maintenance as you enjoy your Herbalife diet shakes.  Take the Herbalife Herbal Complex supplement for added calcium, potassium and vitamin C to ensure your optimum health.

Has your life been a constant struggle in getting to that illusive normal weight range?  Arriving at a healthy body weight is not easy.  Knowing what exactly that is for you, might be even harder.  The textbook method to calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) is your weight in kilos, divided by the square of your height in metres.  A healthy BMI would thus be between 18.5 and 25.  If below 18.5 you would be classified as underweight and over 25, would be overweight.  Over 28-30 would be obese.

This could therefore be construed as the normal weight range.  But there is a vast range difference between a BMI of 19 and 24.5!  This alludes to a clue – your target weight and what is normal weight for you, is highly personal.  Where you are at your healthiest and best is not just a number, but also a general state of wellbeing.  For instance, you could be very lean and feel fantastic, even if your BMI is under 18; and not experience any of the typical symptoms of being underweight.  If you are feeling dizzy or fatigued, even when on diet, you are not eating enough and your body is undernourished.

Another, equally complicated, measure is to restrict yourself to a certain calorie intake.  The amount of calories you need depend on a number of factors, including your age, activity level and lean body mass.  Allthough a rough weekly calorie intake can serve as a great guideline, following it to the letter could also not be what is best for you.

I think to a large extent many of us have started to follow this ‘presciption’ of what would be normal for our bodies and have unlearnt your body’s voice of when it is doing well and when not.

Many people have found the Herbalife weight management programme to work well for them.  It allows you to enjoy delicious shakes as meal replacement, ensuring that you get a balanced meal at every breakfast, lunch and suppertime.  As an added bonus, all my satisfied clients testify that they have more energy and feel great and healthy.

Recently I read an interesting statement in a leading health magazine.  According to research, ladies who stay with their boyfriend or share a place with a friend tend to gain more weight than those who are living on their own.  And then in the next issue of this magazine, there is a whole article about our friends making us fat and that we are 82% more likely to drink heavily if our colleagues do.

Eating and drinking has from the beginning of time been a social activity, as much as it is necessary for energy and sustenance.  We practice this for enjoyment, going out for dinners, etc.  But for some reason, when we try to lose weight and go on a diet, we do it alone.  This makes it even more difficult and explains why you might be prone to gain weight if you enjoy your meals with other people at home, or when going out.  They might be having a gloriously buttery and creamy chicken, whilst you are scrunching away on your grilled chicken salad.

In an ideal world, we would all be eating healthily and the person that is on diet and trying to lose weight, won’t stand out when you look at his/her eating habits – it would just be normal.  But currently, there is this vast difference between what can be construed as ‘normal’ food and healthy eating.

That is why support is so important when trying to lose weight.  In that ideal world, I am sure the person will not have much of a problem to lose weight, because a lot of the temptations would be gone and there would be support and motivation and looking at the others’ healthy diet.

Your Herbalife Wellness Coach is a source of support and accountability to help you effectively lose weight.  Contract with your partner to enjoy a breakfast Herbalife shake with you (even if he/she doesn’t need to lose weight, they will greatly benefit from the health and nutrition of the shake).  Set up your support system by telling your friends you are working at losing weight.  This will help them prepare for times when you visit or have social occasions.

How would you like to stay in shape this winter?  You can, by changing the way you think about and approach foods, and with a trusted weight control partner in Herbalife products.

Sound like a lot of hard work and giving up what you love?  Following a plan does not mean you can’t have a little of what you love to eat, but there are a few rules:

-No big portions.  Not in food or in sweet treats.  For instance, restaurant portions are usually 1.5 to 2.5 times the size of an appropriate healthy portion.  A piece of cake in the coffee shop is roughly 16 times too much.  And that jumbo cappuccino muffin has just snatched all your carbohydrate needs for the day.  Not only do big portions have a lot of calories, it also takes a long time to move through your digestive system, leaving you feeling sluggish.

-Eat less, do more.  The more you eat, the more activity and exercise you need to burn the energy you get from the food.  By lowering the amounts / portion size and introducing more activity, you can lose weight and lose cm and have more energy.

-Eat breakfast.  Breakfast is essential to keep your blood sugar levels stable, a factor which will help prevent you from overeating.  A great breakfast is a smoothie with added protein, such as a Herbalife diet shake which provides you with a full meal in a glass.

-Have good snacks.  Snacks aren’t bad in itself, it just depends on what you are having.  Be prepared with a morning and afternoon snack, such as yoghurt, fruit & peanut butter, a Herbalife protein bar etc to give you an energy lift.

-Be consistent.  Unfortunately binging one day and then fasting the next day does not equally spread the calories on the long term.  Be consistent, make a plan and stick to it.

-Clear the house.  If you keep your favourite food in the house whilst trying to follow your plan, you are setting yourself up for failure with unnecessary temptation.  Have another snack at hand, like a piece of fruit when you crave something sweet.  Or some lean biltong for when you crave something salty.

Herbalife products are a leading agent in the nutrition and wellness fields.  Our weight loss, weight gain and weight maintenance programmes can help you stay on your target weight, have more energy and feel great.

Did you know your metabolism slows by 3% every decade?  May be you noticed that when you reached your thirties it wasn’t as easy to lose extra weight as it was when you were 20?  As you change from a 20-something into a time pressed mom, dad, career person, businessperson, business owner, etc, it takes its toll on your metabolism.  Here are a few tips to ensure your metabolism stays top notch and get rid of the tiredness and lethargy.

1. Become more active and follow a low fat diet
Most likely, you are less active now in your thirties than you were in your twenties.  I remember how starting a job greatly decreased my activity level, as suddenly I wasn’t walking to classes or doing sports anymore.  This usually results in stomach fat and general bulge around the midsection, and cholesterol creeping up.  Both of these factors increase the risk of heart disease and extra kilos have been linked with various cancers.  Therefore, the earlier you can start to reinforce low-fat eating habits, the better.  The Herbalife weight control diet can help you to enjoy a low calorie, convenient diet and keep you slim.

2. More nutrients in your diet
You will need to keep your energy levels up, especially if you have young children.  The one thing you can’t skimp on is your health.  Put your and your family’s health first by preparing balanced meals, rather than just snacking on your kids leftovers or fast food.  Load up on nutrients – you will get the benefits later.  A good multivitamin like the Herbalife Multivitamin and Omega supplement like Herbalife Herbalifeline tablets are essential to ensure nutritional balance.  Women start to lose bone mass by 35, so you need to get calcium supplements and enjoy calcium rich foods.

3. Low calorie diet
As your metabolism drop by 3%, your daily calorie needs drop too.  That is why the chocolate éclair you could eat at 20 now takes a half and hour jog to burn!

4. Healthy breakfast
The one thing you can do today is to have a healthy breakfast.  No more skipping breakfast and swap your buttered toast breakfast for a Herbalife Healthy Breakfast that will help you manage your energy through the day.  Enjoy a Herbalife shake in the mornings which provides great nutrition, energy and loads of vitamins and minerals to start your day off.
