Welcome

There are some tricky spots in life which should have a warning on them – as these are the easiest places to gain weight.  Here are a few tips to survive the weight gain jungle.

Weight gain place nr. 1 – The Mall
You have probably all had the experience of going food shopping when you are hungry.  And probably all have suffered the consequences of buying too much, buying junk food and probably eating it before you exit the store.
Even more so, the time for Christmas shopping is coming nearer and it has been calculated that women spend about 13 stressful hours here during the holidays – which unfortunately offers plenty of time to grab lots of snacks to eat.

How to survive:
- Have a meal rather than a snack.
- Decide what you are going to have ahead of time – and come prepared.  When you are really hungry and presented with lots of options, this is not the best time to try and practice self-control.
- With Herbalife, you can have a all-in-one solution.  Make sure that you carry Nutritional Shake Mix with you to cater for that overrun shopping experience.  You just need to add it do water, milk or fruit juice and shake to have a nutritious meal!  The Herbalife Shake Mix is now also available in single serving packages, which makes it easier to take with you.  Also have a ready-made snack at hand in the form of a Herbalife protein bar.

Weight gain place nr. 2 – The party buffet
You might be faced with a few of these in this period of year-end functions.  I am sure you know what I am talking about.  Those delicious spreads of food, all displayed beautiful, staring at you all night long.  Coupled with that, probably most of the foods are nice and salty, making you thirstier, then having more wine/drinks and subsequently, more food.

How to survive:
- Have a snack beforehand.  In fact, have a Herbalife shake beforehand and you’ll have 10 times more the self-control as you won’t be hungry the whole evening.
- Place your food on a plate.  Eat these, and then wait at least 15 min before heading over to the buffet table again.  Don’t stand next to the table – you will be sure to snack and you won’t have any idea of how much you have eaten.

Weight gain place nr.3 – Your couch
Interestingly enough, it has been found that watching TV is not stimulating enough for all your senses.  Hence, you will often have the need to do something with your hands and jaws to stay stimulated.  This often results in incessant snacking without thinking about what you are eating

How to survive:
-Ensure that you have full, healthy meals.  When you eat (or drink your Herbalife diet shake) don’t sit in front of the TV.  This will distract you and the message that your body is full will only come later.
- Find something to do with your hands, a stress ball, knitting, etc.
