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.

In terms of how food works:  carbohydrates are digested into energy within a short span of time.  Therefore, when you need an energy boost, your body will need carbohydrates.  Eating a small portion of carbohydrates before exercise is useful as it will help your body to perform at its best during exercise.  Examples are a small banana, 50-100ml fruit juice, or a few sips of your Herbalife shake, or a small portion of carbohydrate rich energy drink.

When carbohydrates and proteins are combined, you will get a slower, more sustainable release of energy.  This is good when you are having a meal or a snack.  If your meal only consists of carbohydrates, you will have an energy spike, but soon after, also an energy dip where you feel mostly crave more carbohydrates as your body needs energy.  This might have you reaching for fast foods, sugary snacks etc.  Therefore, for every meal and snack, always combine your carbs and proteins.

Then one also needs to deal with the amount of perspiration during your exercise.  This can cause a drop in your hydration levels, which is not the optimum place for your body.  The Herbalife H3O Pro Isotonic drink can be enjoyed during and after exercise to help maintain your hydration and mineral levels.

If you are already on the Herbalife weight loss programme, have a few sips of your shake before your exercise, and the rest after as a meal.  If you are using the programme to gain weight, ensure that you prepare your after-exercise shake milk and added Herbalife Personalised Protein Powder.

Want to have that healthy glow on your skin all year round?  Within a month you can be there again! Typically, your skin regenerates every 28 days.  Exfoliating helps to take off any dull skin cells and will make your skin look and feel smoother and softer.  You will also get much more value from your moisturiser as it will absorb easier and not be wasted on dead skin cells.

A weekly scrub can also play a role in preparing for and prolonging your tan, making it more even toned, whether your tan comes from a bottle or from the sun.

The excellent range of Herbalife skin care products can help your skin to look radiant all year round.

Try the following for their exfoliation properties:
-Herbalife Body Buffing Scrub – use daily all over your body.  Follow with Body Contouring Cream for best results against cellulite.
-Nourifusion Exfoliation Scrub to help soften and smooth skin.  Use once a week in combination with your Nourifusion daily skin care regime.
-Radiant C Facial Scrub Cleanser – a favourite for men as it combines your cleanser and scrub – no need to fuss.

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.

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.
