You might be doing everything right – eating a healthy, balanced diet, 3 meals a day. You might even be doing your moderate exercise 3-5 times per week. But still you are not losing weight and can’t understand why!
My question is, what are you having between the meals? Have you ever calculated this? My mom once said that it is the food that you don’t ask grace for that makes you fat. For my young mind this didn’t make sense and I wondered how prayer changed the content of the food! There is however truth in what she said – it is all those things that you eat that do not form part of your meals that is actually what is causing the weight loss problems. Especially if you have a tendency to eat these after 10pm!
When planning your healthy eating plan, it is important to calculate in your snacks as part of this. This includes determining the portion of your snack and also counting it as part of your daily calories.
Another important thing about snacks is that you always combine a protein and carbohydrate as a snack. I.e. an apple (carbohydrate) combined with a teaspoon of peanut butter (protein). Or a provita (carbohydrate) and a slice of cheese (protein). A tub of yoghurt provides both. A Herbalife protein bar is also a great in-between snack.
If you are trying to lose excess weight, you can also use the Herbalife Thermocomplete tablets at tea times as ‘snack’. This great product has appetite suppressing and mood-lifting qualities and helps you through that midmorning or afternoon time where you want to reach for snacks.
