I hear a number of these excuses from individuals on a daily basis.  And all of them have some validity and is real and true for the person providing the excuse.  All in all, we do realise that dieting takes you out of your comfort zone (in more ways than one!), and requires you to place priority on your eating and activity levels.  This might thus require some time from your schedule and agreeing some boundaries around food with your family.

Well, that doesn’t sound too hard…  so what is it that is actually keeping you from losing those extra kilos?  What is the benefit you are getting from being overweight / obese?  There sure is a benefit, otherwise you would have lost the weight a long time ago.

Herbalife products offer you a convenient way to lose weight, with healthy nutritionally balanced meal replacements.  Your Herbalife shakes takes only a few seconds to prepare and the only measuring you need to do is to mix 2 tablespoons of Formula 1 Nutritional Shake mix with water / milk / soy milk for your shake.  To lose weight, replace two meals a day with a shake and have a healthy third food meal.  You’ll get results in no time; have more energy and feel great as your body enjoys the nourishment on a cellular level.  The shakes are delicious and come in five different flavours to choose from (Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Cookies&Cream and Tropical Fruit).

With my client, we then explored whether there is anything that she does love about a healthy diet and exercise.  She said that the energy she has, sleeping better, being healthier and generally being able to cope with life pressures better was something she enjoyed.  She also enjoyed fitting into her ideal size clothes and that she felt that she looked good.

Yet, what she didn’t enjoy was the monotony of circuit training and boring foods.  And if she had a choice between exercising and something else that she loves, she would rather choose the latter.

This brought us to the point of starting to explore how she could find a way to exercise and follow a healthy diet in a way that she loves doing.

This is one client’s story, what is yours?  You are welcome to share by commenting on this blog.  How have you found ways to love your exercise and healthy diet?

I have heard lovely success stories.  From clients choosing to forego the ‘normal’ ways of exercising (i.e. gym and jogging) for pole dancing, hip-hop dance classes, boot camp etc.  For the diet part, a number of people have experienced Herbalife products and just loved the extra energy, improved health and nutrition and convenience of the diet.

My question is, what are you having between the meals?  Have you ever calculated this?  My mom once said that it is the food that you don’t ask grace for that makes you fat.  For my young mind this didn’t make sense and I wondered how prayer changed the content of the food!  There is however truth in what she said – it is all those things that you eat that do not form part of your meals that is actually what is causing the weight loss problems.  Especially if you have a tendency to eat these after 10pm!

When planning your healthy eating plan, it is important to calculate in your snacks as part of this.  This includes determining the portion of your snack and also counting it as part of your daily calories.

Another important thing about snacks is that you always combine a protein and carbohydrate as a snack.  I.e. an apple (carbohydrate) combined with a teaspoon of peanut butter (protein).  Or a provita (carbohydrate) and a slice of cheese (protein).  A tub of yoghurt provides both.  A Herbalife protein bar is also a great in-between snack.

If you are trying to lose excess weight, you can also use the Herbalife Thermocomplete tablets at tea times as ‘snack’.  This great product has appetite suppressing and mood-lifting qualities and helps you through that midmorning or afternoon time where you want to reach for snacks.

Many of us have the vague idea about a healthy lifestyle that includes healthy foods, such as lean proteins, low GI carbohydrates and lots of fruits and vegetables.  You would also know that some moderate exercise is good for you.  Furthermore, you would know that smoking and excessive intake of alcohol is dangerous to your health.

But have you taken the time to really think about what your health and living healthy means to you?  Here are a few questions to stir your thoughts:
- What about your health is important to you?
- What legacy do you want to leave in this world?  Would your age have any effect on this?
- What do you need on a daily basis to feel healthy, fit and energetic?
- When are you at your absolute best?  What is it that helps you to be there?
- If you had deep respect for your body and its needs, what is the one thing that you would do differently?

It often helps to just refocus and give yourself an honest answer to these questions.  This year I had one of those birthdays which has zero as a second digit.  For some reason, the birthdays tend to be specific marks in your lifespan and a time when you re-evaluate who you are and where you are heading.  It was also at this junction that I seriously considered my health and what I am doing to keep my body healthy.  This has led me to come up with my action plan of being the best person I can be.

For me and for millions of satisfied clients, part of healthy living includes my Herbalife weight loss and weight management plan.  It involves replacing some meals with a diet shake per day and ensuring that through supplementation, I reach all my nutritional needs.  I feel great, full of energy and healthy and would recommend it for anyone wanting to lose weight, gain weight or just healthy weight maintenance and living.

A healthy eating plan supported by  (herbal life, shapeworks) involves eating a variety of foods but all in moderation.  Herbalife supports you in weight loss, weight gain, energy and fitness ,  outer nutrition with our skin care range and hair care products. Contact me today for assistance.

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.

It is all possible.  Herbalife products can help with convenient and nutritional diet shakes to help lose weight fast.  For more information or to buy Herbalife, contact:
