“I can’t do it on my own!”
“I don’t have the willpower!”
“It takes too much time!”
“The diet food tastes terrible, I can’t bear it!”
“I’m too tired to even think about it!”
“What if it doesn’t work, or I gain back all the weight?  I’d rather not try.”

I hear a number of these excuses from individuals on a daily basis.  And all of them have some validity and is real and true for the person providing the excuse.  All in all, we do realise that dieting takes you out of your comfort zone (in more ways than one!), and requires you to place priority on your eating and activity levels.  This might thus require some time from your schedule and agreeing some boundaries around food with your family.

Well, that doesn’t sound too hard…  so what is it that is actually keeping you from losing those extra kilos?  What is the benefit you are getting from being overweight / obese?  There sure is a benefit, otherwise you would have lost the weight a long time ago.

Herbalife products offer you a convenient way to lose weight, with healthy nutritionally balanced meal replacements.  Your Herbalife shakes takes only a few seconds to prepare and the only measuring you need to do is to mix 2 tablespoons of Formula 1 Nutritional Shake mix with water / milk / soy milk for your shake.  To lose weight, replace two meals a day with a shake and have a healthy third food meal.  You’ll get results in no time; have more energy and feel great as your body enjoys the nourishment on a cellular level.  The shakes are delicious and come in five different flavours to choose from (Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Cookies&Cream and Tropical Fruit).

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.

Has your life been a constant struggle in getting to that illusive normal weight range?  Arriving at a healthy body weight is not easy.  Knowing what exactly that is for you, might be even harder.  The textbook method to calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) is your weight in kilos, divided by the square of your height in metres.  A healthy BMI would thus be between 18.5 and 25.  If below 18.5 you would be classified as underweight and over 25, would be overweight.  Over 28-30 would be obese.

This could therefore be construed as the normal weight range.  But there is a vast range difference between a BMI of 19 and 24.5!  This alludes to a clue – your target weight and what is normal weight for you, is highly personal.  Where you are at your healthiest and best is not just a number, but also a general state of wellbeing.  For instance, you could be very lean and feel fantastic, even if your BMI is under 18; and not experience any of the typical symptoms of being underweight.  If you are feeling dizzy or fatigued, even when on diet, you are not eating enough and your body is undernourished.

Another, equally complicated, measure is to restrict yourself to a certain calorie intake.  The amount of calories you need depend on a number of factors, including your age, activity level and lean body mass.  Allthough a rough weekly calorie intake can serve as a great guideline, following it to the letter could also not be what is best for you.

I think to a large extent many of us have started to follow this ‘presciption’ of what would be normal for our bodies and have unlearnt your body’s voice of when it is doing well and when not.

Many people have found the Herbalife weight management programme to work well for them.  It allows you to enjoy delicious shakes as meal replacement, ensuring that you get a balanced meal at every breakfast, lunch and suppertime.  As an added bonus, all my satisfied clients testify that they have more energy and feel great and healthy.

It is all possible.  Herbalife products can help with convenient and nutritional diet shakes to help lose weight fast.  For more information or to buy Herbalife, contact:

How would you like to stay in shape this winter?  You can, by changing the way you think about and approach foods, and with a trusted weight control partner in Herbalife products.

Sound like a lot of hard work and giving up what you love?  Following a plan does not mean you can’t have a little of what you love to eat, but there are a few rules:

-No big portions.  Not in food or in sweet treats.  For instance, restaurant portions are usually 1.5 to 2.5 times the size of an appropriate healthy portion.  A piece of cake in the coffee shop is roughly 16 times too much.  And that jumbo cappuccino muffin has just snatched all your carbohydrate needs for the day.  Not only do big portions have a lot of calories, it also takes a long time to move through your digestive system, leaving you feeling sluggish.

-Eat less, do more.  The more you eat, the more activity and exercise you need to burn the energy you get from the food.  By lowering the amounts / portion size and introducing more activity, you can lose weight and lose cm and have more energy.

-Eat breakfast.  Breakfast is essential to keep your blood sugar levels stable, a factor which will help prevent you from overeating.  A great breakfast is a smoothie with added protein, such as a Herbalife diet shake which provides you with a full meal in a glass.

-Have good snacks.  Snacks aren’t bad in itself, it just depends on what you are having.  Be prepared with a morning and afternoon snack, such as yoghurt, fruit & peanut butter, a Herbalife protein bar etc to give you an energy lift.

-Be consistent.  Unfortunately binging one day and then fasting the next day does not equally spread the calories on the long term.  Be consistent, make a plan and stick to it.

-Clear the house.  If you keep your favourite food in the house whilst trying to follow your plan, you are setting yourself up for failure with unnecessary temptation.  Have another snack at hand, like a piece of fruit when you crave something sweet.  Or some lean biltong for when you crave something salty.

Herbalife products are a leading agent in the nutrition and wellness fields.  Our weight loss, weight gain and weight maintenance programmes can help you stay on your target weight, have more energy and feel great.
