Earlier this week I was watching a programme on television where the presenter was helping an individual to change her eating patterns and lose weight.  As part of the process of creating awareness, the presenter displayed everything the individual had eaten for the last 7 days on a table.  And what a shock it was to the individual!  Firstly off course to see the amount, and secondly to recognise how much snacks and unhealthy food/alcohol (you name it) was to be found on the table.

What would the table look like if I displayed everything you consumed over the last 7 days.  Remember, this includes what you ate and what you had to drink.  If you look at this table – would you say it supports a healthy lifestyle?

When you make the decision to eat healthier or to lose weight, often one of the hardest things to do is to decide what to change in your diet, how to change it and how to keep up the new habit.  One of the best ways to do this is to start growing in awareness of what and when you eat.  Keep a 7 day record of everything that you consume.  If you want to take it up a notch, even write down why you are consuming it (whether you are hungry, thirsty, just feel like it, social function, etc).  This will help you see where the major pitfalls to a healthier eating plan are for you.

At the end of the seven days, have a look at what you have written. Look at the trends in your eating pattern.  Compare this with that of a healthy eating plan to see where your needs are.  Most likely it would include increasing fruit and vegetable intake, drink more water or cut back on sweet foods.

How can Herbalife products help?
Herbalife takes the guesswork out of eating.  With the delicious and convenient meal replacement shakes, you can have a 5-course meal in a glass.  Your shake contains vitamins and nutrients, healthy soy protein and low-GI carbohydrates.  It is also a great source of fibre.  It is nutritionally balanced with vital macro and micro nutrients equivalent to a complete meal.  It will also help you to maintain your energy levels.  Enjoy 2 shake meal replacements per day and have a healthy protein bar or fresh fruit as a snack in between meals.  For your third meal, have a colourful meal with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, lean protein and low-GI carbohydrates.

People often pick up weight due to a lack of activity. After a hard days work, it is much easier to be lazy on the couch than to go out for a workout! I’m sure everyone has heard the saying – “all work and no play, makes you dull”.

Playing can also be associated with exercise! I recently started going to spinning classes and, boy can I tell you that it definitely gets your blood pumping and you feel so much better after a nice workout. Playing with your children or having a very active cuddle with your spouse can also help you to be more active and get some “exercise”!

When trying to lose weight, being lazy does not help. It is time to get off that couch and get active! Even moderate forms of exercise can support your slimming process.

Help yourself lose centimeters  by trying this easy daily step:
When standing in line for the till or waiting for a teller in the bank, instead of locking your one leg and resting on it, don’t lock your leg (by the knee) and bend it just slightly.  By doing this, your muscles need to do the work to keep you up. It will get your energy going and while using your muscles you “exercise”.

The Herbalife weight loss diet offers you a quick and convenient way to help lose excess weight.  The Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix as part of the Quickstart package can get you started!
The Herbalife weight loss enhancers also offer products that can provide you with energy. Due to the hectic life styles we live we need a boost! This will also help you have more energy to get active and exercise. Try the Herbalife Thermojectics instant herbal beverage – this will get you going. It comes in 4 delicious flavours: lemon, peach, raspberry and original. It contains Green tea extracts, which will create a general feeling of well being. And it helps to lose those fussy centimeters.

Please don’t get discouraged if you do not feel like the exercise is getting you anywhere, IT IS, any exercise is better that NO EXERCISE!

You will see that, as it only takes 21 days to form or break a habit, that you will see a difference in no time!

Stretch Marks form when your skin stretches beyond its limit and tears. Rapid weight gain causes this, mainly during teenage years or pregnancy, so most women are affected. Skin is made up of a matrix of collagen and elastic fibres, which expand and retract to keep the skin elastic, fast weight gain can cause tears to appear within the dermal layer and the blood vessels beneath to show through, creating angry red lines. Most pregnant women and yo-yo dieters develop it most.  If stretch marks run in your family it gives you more reason to look after your weight.

Exercise can also make a real difference if your skin is toned, stretch marks will be flatter and less visible. The right diet is important because your body needs the nutrients to make collagen and maintain skin elasticity.
