Do you stop eating when you’ve had enough?  Or do you treat your body like a trashcan by thinking “I can just as well eat this otherwise I will have to throw it away”.  Well, best you rather throw it into the dustbin than using your body as a dustbin!

People eat for a variety of reasons.  Whether this is out of hunger, boredom, emotional upset, habit, etc, etc.  I think in the original plan, we were only meant to eat to provide energy for our bodies.  This meant listening to your bodies needs and then satisfying this need and stopping when the need has been met. 

These days we are bombarded with pre-packaged meals, very large restaurant or fast food restaurant servings and with our busy lifestyles, have probably learnt to ignore our bodies and listen to its needs.  Just think about how you can go on and on working even though you know you are tired and need a break?  It is in this same manner that you can also start to tune out the voice of your body’s food needs.

So, to a great extent, it is also about becoming more aware of your body.  This simple exercise will help:
Wherever you are, just take 2 minutes and sit still.  Close your eyes and just start breathing deeply.  Then ask yourself a few questions:
-How am I feeling right now?
-How is my body – am I comfortable? Hot/cold?
-How are my water levels – am I thirsty?
-How is my energy – am I hungry?  If so, for what am I hungry?

You’d be amazed that you actually know the answers to these questions – you just need to take the time to ask!

By following the Herbalife weight loss plan and supplements you can honour your body by providing nutritionally balanced meal replacements and healthy snacks in order to help you regain your target weight.  I would also encourage you to grow more aware of your body and respect its needs through this process.  Your body enjoys healthy food, exercise and enough rest as this helps it to function optimally.

Digestive problems are one of the most common problems affecting our health.  Your digestive health is of utmost importance for good health and even the slightest change in diet and exercise routine and habit can have an influence on your system.  As a result, bloating and digestive discomfort occurs, leaving you feeling ill and uncomfortable.

Bloating can be caused by a number of different things, including overeating, food allergies, food intolerances or menstruation.  Although not all of these causes are easy to overcome, a healthy diet will help to avoid discomfort and the embarrassing flatulence that comes with the package.

Here are some tips for healthier digestion:
- Have 5 to 8 portions of fruit and vegetables per day
- Check that you are enjoying a high fibre diet
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.  You should have 1 glass of water for every 10kg of body mass.
- If you exercise moderately, at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, it will make a huge difference
- Drink a liter of water when you wake up.  Add 15ml Herbalife Herbal Aloe Concentrate to your water to soothe your digestive system.
- Limit smoking, caffeine (from too much coffee) and refined carbohydrates such as sweet foods, fried foods and pastries

Herbalife supplements product recommendation for digestive health:

Our arteries, veins and capillaries perform the very important function in your body on conveying nutrient rich blood to nourish the cells and organs in your body. But when they are blocked they can result in strokes, heart attacks which are some of the major causes of death.

Obesity is a major risk for heart disease.  Therefore, even if it was only for your heart health that you lose extra weight, that would be a good enough reason to slim down.  The Herbalife range of products can help you to lose weight with a nutritionally balanced and convenient weight loss programme.  With no calorie counting or hours in front of the stove preparing food.  With two quick meal replacements a day, you are set to go.

There are also some further lifestyle changes that you can make to support your heart health.  It is important to eat enough protein in order for your lean muscle mass to stay strong.  “Good’ fats, such as Omega 3 and 6 oil are also important for heart health.  Fish is a good source of Omega 3 oil.  You can also supplement your diet with Herbalifeline, a supplement that will fulfil your Omega oil requirements.

Also ensure that you consume plenty of colourful foods in the form of fruits and vegetables. A great way to choose your fruits and vegetables is to look at the colour.  In general, the deeper the colour of the food, the more nutrient rich it is.

In summary, here is an outline of what your action plan towards better cardiovascular health should include:

• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Make sure you get lots of antioxidants from your food (fruits and vegetables)
• Participate in some form of exercise / activity on a daily basis
• Make sure you drink enough water and get enough sleep.  A lot of restorative processes in your body happen at night when you sleep

For help with getting your action plan going, to lose weight and choose healthy supplements, your Herbalife Wellness Coach can help.  Don’t wait until it is too late!

Any day is a good day to become more active and to make steps towards a healthier lifestyle.  Maybe you started this year with good intentions that have fizzled down.  Or the busyness has just interrupted your intentions towards starting with some exercise.  As much as some of us would love it if losing with and living healthily without any exercise was possible; unfortunately it simply is not that easy.

Getting more active and losing excess weight is something we so glibly can excuse because it can be done another day, or started on Monday or at the beginning of the next month.  But, it you’ve had the experience of standing in the doctor’s office and hearing that you have Type 2 Diabetes or other lifestyle disease, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and know that to a large extent, you have contributed towards this permanent condition as a result of a sedentary lifestyle.  And suddenly you know that all those good reasons of why you didn’t exercise or eat healthy were just lame excuses.

Maybe it is a good time to truly take stock of your life.  What is the future that you want?  And in that future does it require you to be healthy?  Or to what extent does your health play a role in your future?

If you weighed this future picture against your excuses, I wonder which one carries the most weight.  What it asks, is a long-term commitment to health, rather than instant gratification of what is enjoyable today.

A healthy diet, like the Herbalife weight loss programme is supported by moderate exercise (30 min walking) at least 5 times per week.  To further support your healthy lifestyle, Herbalife products offers you delicious meal replacements and a number of supplements and weight loss enhancers to provide balanced nutrition and to help burn fat.

The questions of fats are possibly one of the most confusing for individuals looking to follow a healthy lifestyle and diet.  Should you aim to have as little as possible fats in your diet, or only the “good” fats?  The answer lies somewhere between these two extremes.  You do need fat in your diet and preferably the “good” fats.  Because fat is also high in calories (about 120 calories per tablespoon), most of us can’t just eat it freely without gaining weight.

Here are some easy ideas to reduce your fat intake:

• Use pan spray when cooking instead of oil.  When you sauté foods, you can sauté it in stock or wine.
• Opt for reduced fat versions of high fat items, i.e. dairy products, spreads and dressings
• If you are watching calories, keep in mind that baked goods that are low fat or fat free often contains the same amount of calories as the full fat version. In many cases, fat is replaced by sugar which chases up the calories. 
• Limit fatty meats such as steak, fatty ground meat (mince) and sausages.  Rather opt for low fat items such as poultry (including ostrich meat), soy, fish, low-fat dairy products and egg whites which are low in fat.
• Be creative with flavouring your foods.  Use fresh herbs, lemon juice, onion, garlic, chillies, cinnamon and other spices rather than relying on thick sauces that are high in fat.
• When eating out, try to make smart choices.  Choose chicken or fish and ask that it be grilled.  Also be strong and say no to the chips/potatoes and rather ask for a double portion of vegetables.
• Order salad dressing on the side so you can control the amount.
• Try fresh fruit or sorbet as dessert rather than cake / pastries and ice cream

Herbalife’s range of products can help you enjoy a nutritionally balanced lifestyle. Our meal replacement diet shakes and Express Shake Bars are deliciously healthy and promote better nutrition.  In the range of products, there is also a cheater’s delight – the Lipobond tablets.  For those meals where you don’t have control over the amount of fat – have 2 Lipobonds before your meal to help trap the fats and move it out of your body.
