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.

In our quest to diet and lose weight, a great amount of misconceptions have been formed about what dieting is and what is requires of you to slim down.  These misconceptions then often are the very things that stand in the way of a successful lifestyle change and weight loss.

Here are a few misconceptions:
1. Diet = suffering
The idea that slimming has to be a process of suffering is not correct.  It also shouldn’t be a time of starvation!  In fact, if you follow a diet that is too low in calories, you will not lose weight as your body perceives this low food content as a threat and starts to protect its fat stores – which stop you from losing weight.
Therefore, make sure you are following a nutritionally balanced diet, such as Herbalife weight loss plan, with healthy snacks that helps keep you feeling energetic and nourished.

2. You only start a diet on a Monday or first day of the month
Yes, you are probably chuckling as you read this because you have done this as well.  If you have made the decision to slim down, then start right when you have made the decision.  This will stop you from having your last binge session before your actual diet starts.  And then off course, you feel worse than terrible on your first day of the diet and you just want to quit.  Make your decision and start right away – that is the very best time.

3. Diet will control my life
This misconception is formed in thinking that your quality of life will diminish as you diet.  You might be thinking, no more eating out, no parties and fun, just dull food.  If you allow this misconception, the chances of turning your diet into a sustainably lifestyle is short of zero.  You need to take control of your life and a healthy diet forms part of this.  However, you are still in control.  This means that you have the ability and responsibility to make healthy choices that will benefit your life goals.
