Craving something sweet or doughy?  It is usually at this stage when people tend to reach for the carbohydrates.  In essence, it is also no surprise because carbs are some of the most readily available snacks!  Just think how easy a packet of chips, a pie, doughnut, biscuit, rusks, chocolate is obtainable.

Most people tend to reach for the carbs is they are feeling tired, stressed.  Research does show that they do help you feel better. One study suggests that carbs might play a role in triggering the release of endorphins in the body.  It also has mood boosting effects by the release of serotonin which helps you feel calmer and more focussed.  And of course, carbohydrates are a source of energy, which will give you energy to pull yourself out of that tired feeling. 

Know we know that there is a scientific reason why we do it!  Therefore, the key lies in “how” we do it!

The worst thing that you can do is to reach for the ‘bad’ carbohydrates.  These are your sugary (chocolate), or highly refined (chips, bagel, doughnut, biscuits) which will not only give you the serotonin release, but unfortunately also a sugar surge.  This will leave you feeling energised at first, but a few hours later you will even more sluggish then when you started – clearly the last thing you want when under pressure already!

There are some healthy snack alternatives which are a much better option.  It is also important to pair the carbohydrate with a little protein.  Here are some options:
- Eat half an apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter (peanut butter for protein)
- A small tub of Bulgarian yoghurt with blueberries
- A Herbalife protein bar
- Half (or a few sips of) a Herbalife Nutritional Shake as a snack.

When following a Herbalife Healthy eating plan, your body will be receiving excellent nutrition and a good balance of good carbohydrates and protein.  It will also help to stop cravings and you won’t need as much snacks throughout the day.  All the snacks mentioned above are good snacks whilst following your weight loss plan.

If we lived in a perfect world, or even just about 100 years ago when food was more nutritious, organic farming was the norm and there was no microwave ovens around; it would not be difficult to obtain all the nutrients that we need from food.  However, in reality we don’t live in a perfect world.  If we did, we’d have:
-no stress
-no mineral-poor soils, depleted through over-farming
-all our food would be organically grown with no pesticides or hormones
-there would be no plastic in the environment to contaminate our foods
-animals would not be pumped with hormones
-no radiation from cell phones
-no need to diet as a result of fast food overeating
I am sure you get the picture, we surely don’t live in a perfect world!

Other than eating as well as we can, we do need help from selected supplements to support our bodies in a nutrient-poor, chemically overwhelmed, polluted world.  Using targeted nutrition is the best way to counteract the challenges of modern society and to help gain a healthy lifestyle again.

A study done by the US Department of Agriculture with 21 000 men, women and children, found in their study that not a single one of these people was getting the  minimum recommended daily vitamin allowance requirements from the foods they were eating. 

We need help!
A vitamin supplement is a form of food for the body, and assists in enabling it to function normally.  When something foreign (typically a toxin) stresses the body, specific nutrients are needed – vitamin supplements or nutritional aids.  Vitamin supplements are an easy way to obtain the nutrients you may not be getting through your daily diet.  If you are dieting, you could be depleting your body’s nutrients in the quickest way possible!  You need a good multivitamin to support your weight loss process, to ensure you are getting the best diet nutrition possible.

Herbalife offers a solution:
Herbalife Multivitamin:
This product offers antioxidants to help fight free radicals and contains folic acid which is imperative for cell repair.  It also provides calcium and iron, apart from a range of other vitamins.

Have you ever found yourself coming home after a long and tiring day, hungry and exhausted, and then you have to think about what to eat?  Most of us tend to scour the cupboards for the quickest food we can find, which off course, is most often not the healthiest.

What types of food do you keep in the house?  Are you making it even more difficult for yourself to resist the temptation to snack on chips, sweets, biscouts and more?

If you want to conquer your cravings and change your lifestyle, here are a few tips:
- Toss out all your chips (sweets, biscuits, salty crackers, etc). 
- Stock your healthy snacks on the middle shelf of the refrigerator. Cornell University have found that you are 2.7 times more likely to eat healthy snacks if they are in the middle of your fridge, rather than in the bottom vegetable racks.
- Don’t go shopping when you are hungry.  Believe me; you will buy more food than you need, and probably not the healthiest!

By ensuring nutrition with your Herbalife Shakes, you will feel full and energetic.  Because your body is getting healthy vitamins, minerals and proteins, you will be able to help build your healthy lifestyle which will support you even after you have attained your goal weight!

Regular, nutritional eating might not always be a high priority for men.  Even though getting fed is a primal and urgent need, this does not necessarily imply that the planning to have proper meals in place is done!  In the absence of planning, men tend to reach for whatever is available.  The focus is then not on choosing wisely, but the all-consuming objective of getting fed would rather lead him to food that is high in kilojoules – sugar and fat.  In layman’s terms, these foods are usually soft drinks, chips, biscuits, and fast food takeouts.

A daily eating routine is essential step towards healthy living.  Here are a few tips that can help:
1. Plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Planning will ensure that you have food with you and don’t need to stop at the takeout!  Use an easy and convenient nutritional system and diet like Herbalife to cater for two of these meals per day.  Preparing your two shakes for the day is quick and easy and will take less than 5 minutes and the shakes can be enjoyed on the run.
For healthy and active men, incorporate Herbalife Nutritional Shake and Herbalife Personalized Protein Powder in the shakes.

2. It is not about rules – but about staying sharp. Coffee, sugary foods and oily takeouts leaves you feeling lethargic, sleepy and possibly with indigestion!  A nutritional meal, like Herbalife, will leave you energized and in top form.  You can also add Herbalife Thermojetics to your water to keep you energized throughout the day.

3. Stock up.  When there is nothing in your cupboard and fridge, you are bound to drive to the nearest take-away!  Ensure that you have Herbalife products in your cupboard and re-order from your Independent Herbalife Distributor when you are running low.

Remember, when we are over- hungry (both female and male), your urge would be to make the hunger go away. At this stage, you cannot care about what it is that you are eating, despite your best intentions.  Therefore, be pro-active and get yourself a Herbalife Quickstart package and further supplements for your optimum nutrition.

Most people listen to their cat more intelligently than to their own body.  Think about it – people probably react to their cats needs better – because they do it in a cherishing way, and the pet then returns this love.  Your body, however, might have to scream at you or break down before you give attention to it.

How attuned would you say you are with your own body?  Do you know when it needs nutrition, do you know when the overweight and fat is making your body slower, do you know when it needs rest or exercise?

Whether it’s related to diet and exercise, or stress and relationships, make the choice to cherish, rather than punish your body.

Eckard Tolle said: “Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside.  If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place!”

I got to know my body’s needs better when I started using Herbalife.  The delicious and nutritious Herbalife shakes and supplements left me feeling full, nourished and energized.  Sometimes I would crave something, i.e. French fries – and then I would have it.  I can’t explain to you how bad I felt.  I had this heavy feeling in my stomach, felt tired and lethargic and my mood was not great.  This taught me that my body does give me information on what foods it likes.  When I have my Herbalife shake for lunch, I feel energized to have a productive afternoon at work; whereas previously, at 14pm I could catch a nap on my desk!

Maybe you can relate to my journey and maybe you have a need to get to know and nourish your body’s needs.

Do try Herbalife, as it will provide you with a healthy diet, full of healthy protein, vitamins and minerals. Here is what I used:
Herbalife Nutritional Shake
Herbalife Personalized Protein Powder
Herbalife Fibre& Herb tablets
Herbalife Multivitamin
Herbalife Thermojetics
