It is winter time in South Africa, which means wet, cold and snow capped mountains where I live!  It also usually means piling on layers of clothing, hot chocolate and other comfort foods!

This winter I decided that I want to look good and feel great all through winter and right into spring, beating the spring need for weight loss and exercise.  It hasn’t been easy all the time, but I can truly say that I am feeling great, I have lots of energy, sleep well and have not had to fight a cold or flu this winter.

The greatest contributor to my feeling of wellbeing is my trusted Herbalife products.  My Herbalife shake has become one of my favourite foods and I look forward to my 2 diet shake meal replacements per day.  They are so easy and convenient and takes only seconds to prepare. I use Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix, Personalised Protein Powder, Thermojetics and Herbalife Herbal Aloe in my shake, mixed with a little milk and topped with water.  For my shake just after / before exercise, I add a small banana to the mix.

For exercise I am doing boot camp, which is exercising outside at the crack of dawn.  This might not be for everyone, but the key is to find something that you do love.  Do you love dancing?  Then join a dance class.   Maybe more low key exercise like Pilates, Yoga or Callanetics?  Enquire about classes at your nearest gym.  Maybe you like to multitask and also have some time with a friend?  Get your friend to join you in walking 3-5 times a week.  Exercise remains a great stress reliever and releases serotonin in your body.  Serotonin is a feel good hormone and the more you have of this, the less inclined you will be to eat for comfort or emotional eating.

A healthy diet 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 ,  with our skin care range and hair care products. Contact me today for assistance.

The Herbalife range of weight control products can be effectively used for weight loss, weight gain as well as target weight maintenance.  People often ask me how one product can do all this: the key lies in how you use and combine the products. 

Your Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix (Formula 1) is your ‘food’ source.  This forms the foundation of all the programmes and is an essential part of your diet.  The shake is used as meal replacement or meal supplement (depending on your goal) and provides you with a nutritionally balanced meal in a glass!  You can mix your Nutritional Shake Mix with low fat milk, soy milk, water or 100% fruit juice (unsweetened).  It tastes great and takes only seconds to prepare.  It is available in Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Tropical Fruit and Cookies & Cream flavours.  Available in a 550g container.  Serving size is 26g.

Add the Herbalife Personalised Protein Powder to your shake for even better results.  Protein helps to build lean muscle and also helps you to stay fuller for longer.  A recent study done showed that individuals who used the Protein Powder in combination with the Nutritional Shake Mix had better weight loss results than those individuals using only the Nutritional Shake Mix.

Couple these two products with the Herbalife Multivitamin and Fibre & herb tablets for best results.

There is a vast range of further Herbalife products that you can use, depending on your goal with the product.  You are welcome to contact me on details below to discuss what products are best suited for you.

The Herbalife Weight Control programmes works as follows:
For weight loss: Replace two meals a day with a Herbalife shake. Your third meal should be a healthy, colourful, food meal.
For weight maintenance: Replace one meal a day with a Herbalife shake. Your other meals should be healthy, colourful, food meals.
For weight gain:  Supplement your current diet with 3 Herbalife shakes per day (preferably prepared with full cream milk).

Smoothies are the ultimate, convenient power food.  Whether you need an energy boost or you are gearing up (or recovering from) a hard workout, a smoothie is just the thing.  The combination of calcium and protein in milk / joghurt, combined with the fibre from fruits makes your smoothie a filling snack. 

Here are a few recipes for power smoothies:

Diet Power Smoothie (to be taken before/after a hard workout):
1 cup 2% or fat free milk
2 tbsp low fat vanilla yoghurt
2 tsp peanut butter
2 tbsp Herbalife Protein Powder
6 ice cubes
Instructions: Blend until smooth
This recipe makes 2 power smoothies. 

Banana split smoothie:
1 banana
½ cup low-fat vanilla yoghurt
1/8 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
½ cup fat free milk
2 tsbp Herbalife Protein Powder
6 ice cubes.
Instructions:  Blend until smooth
This recipe makes 2 smoothies.  Per 230ml serving: 715kj, 12g protein, 33g carbohydrates, 2g fat, 94mg sodium, 2g fibre

To take both of these smoothies from a snack to a full meal, simply add two tablespoons of Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix!  This ensures you get a nutritionally balanced meal in a glass, convenience on the go and the added slimming benefits of a low kilojoule meal.

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.
