Whilst many people are faced with the need for weight loss and answers to obesity, those individuals who desperately want to gain weight often struggle to find the answers.  The media and focus is mostly on weight loss, leaving these individuals wondering as to a solution to their weight problem.

One of the first steps in your weight gain process is to try and determine why you are underweight.  Is there a possible illness that is causing the weight loss?  Are you using any medication that might affect your weight gain?  All these factors should be discussed with your medical practitioner.  If you are healthy, physically, emotionally and mentally and still underweight, the answer to gaining weight would be to consume more energy per day.  This means you must eat more at each meal, or have a healthy meal supplement shake as well as healthy snacks in between meals.  The Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix and Protein Powder is a great way of supplementing your meals for extra energy.  The shakes are also packed with vitamins and minerals and they are nutritionally balanced.

Here is an example meal plan for someone wanting to gain weight:

Before breakfast:
1 cup of tea/coffee with full cream milk, 2 teaspoons of sugar and a rusk.

Breakfast:
Fruit or fruit juice (1 banana or 1 glass of fruit punch)

Dr David Heber, well-known author of the ‘LA Shape Diet’ and “What color is your diet’ emphasises the need and importance of protein in weight management.  David Heber, is as chairman of Herbalife’s Nutrition Advisory Board.  This board consists of leading health and nutrition experts.

A number of diets advocates and praises the power of protein.  For instance, the Atkins diet that has a proportionally very strong focus on protein.  However, even though we often link the use of protein to gaining weight or maintaining weight, the importance of protein goes far beyond building muscle and influencing physical appearance.  Protein is an essential component of every cell of the body.  It is an organic compound, made up of 22 amino acids – the building blocks in your body.  Protein is stored in muscles and organs and is used to repair tissue as well as for the production of enzymes and hormones.  Protein is a micronutrient, which means the body needs a large amount of it (along with fat and carbohydrates).  The National Academy of Sciences has concluded that your daily intake of protein should be 10-35% of your caloric intake.  A deficiency of protein can impair important body functions and lead to a loss of muscle mass.

It is a good idea to consider the source of protein you take in.  Ideally you need to have healthy sources of protein without high levels of saturated fat. For example, nuts, soybeans and whole grains provide with low fat and offer a lot of healthy fibre and other micronutrients as well.  Another healthy protein is from the vegetables sources of protein found in Herbalife’s Formula 1&3 shakes.  These shakes also help to personalise your daily protein intake according to your body’s needs – calculated by your BMI.  Herbalife’s Formula 1&3 shakes can help you build or maintain lean muscle while providing healthy weight management support.  Whether you want to lose weight, gain weight or just maintain your weight, protein forms a very important component.

Contact Marieta, your Herbalife Wellness Coach for a free Herbalife estimation of your protein needs per day.  I also have more information and Herbalife prices that I will forward to you to consider this healthy source of protein.
