Do you also have the experience of rushing out the door in the morning and rather having a longer sleep than spending time preparing breakfast?  Or maybe you just struggle to eat that early in the morning?

Skipping breakfast can have a negative impact on your body.  This is because your body tries to draw on its reserves for nutrients and water; but these have become depleted overnight.

By not eating breakfast, you are likely to feel tired and hungry later in the day, crave caffeine or sweets as your body desires energy to raise your blood sugar levels.  This destabilises your blood sugar and can affect your weight loss and wellbeing in the long term.

A good breakfast wakes up your metabolism in order to have brain power and energy to function optimally.  Your chances of following a healthy eating plan, with regular meals throughout the day are also increased if you start your day with breakfast.

As much as eating breakfast is important, it is also very important to eat the RIGHT breakfast.  Your breakfast needs to contain key nutrients such as fibre, protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.  Therefore, be wary of the quick piece of white toast or refined cereals, as they give you a quick burst of energy, but leave you hungry again shortly.

Try the Herbalife healthy breakfast:
Have a Herbalife shake for breakfast.  It is quick to prepare and can be enjoyed on the run – even in the car on your way to work!  With less than 850 kilojoules, the shake is low in kilojoules, but does not sacrifice on being healthy and nutritionally balanced.  The Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix has been scientifically proven to be an effective means of controlling and managing weight when combined with an active lifestyle.  Complement your healthy breakfast further with Thermojetics Herbal Beverage for extra energy and fat-burning properties.  The Herbal Aloe Concentrate, mixed in with your shake, offers digestive soothing and helps your system function optimally.

“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).

Most of us know that a healthy lifestyle is characterised by healthy eating and some moderate exercise.  But do you know of all the benefits that come with this (besides the obvious ones)?

A recent study from the Iowa State University found that people who exercise for about 30 minutes, 5 days a week, may use fewer sick days!  The research found that individuals who exercise regularly and did come down with the flu, was better able to get over it.  They showed fewer symptoms and traces of the virus in their lungs than those individuals not following an active lifestyle.  Remember though to not start exercising / or to exercise when you already have the flu (or showing symptoms such as fever, aches or sore throat).

Find an exercise routine that is exciting and then change it about every 6 weeks. Going to the gym or jogging is not your only option – try bootcamp, a dance class or even your home exercise equipment!

Couple your exercise with a healthy diet for best results.  The Herbalife weight loss programme offers you a nutritionally balanced meal in a glass.  To lose weight, you would replace two meals a day with your shake.  The shakes are full of healthy nutrients, vitamins and minerals – helping you keep your energy level up and your tummy feeling full.  And, as a great bonus, looking leaner and healthier!

The Herbalife range of weight control products can be effectively used for weight loss, weight gain as well as target weight maintenance.  People often ask me how one product can do all this: the key lies in how you use and combine the products. 

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.
For weight maintenance: Replace one meal a day with a Herbalife shake. Your other meals should be healthy, colourful, food meals.
For weight gain:  Supplement your current diet with 3 Herbalife shakes per day (preferably prepared with full cream milk).

Smoothies are the ultimate, convenient power food.  Whether you need an energy boost or you are gearing up (or recovering from) a hard workout, a smoothie is just the thing.  The combination of calcium and protein in milk / joghurt, combined with the fibre from fruits makes your smoothie a filling snack. 

Here are a few recipes for power smoothies:

Diet Power Smoothie (to be taken before/after a hard workout):
1 cup 2% or fat free milk
2 tbsp low fat vanilla yoghurt
2 tsp peanut butter
2 tbsp Herbalife Protein Powder
6 ice cubes
Instructions: Blend until smooth
This recipe makes 2 power smoothies. 

Banana split smoothie:
1 banana
½ cup low-fat vanilla yoghurt
1/8 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
½ cup fat free milk
2 tsbp Herbalife Protein Powder
6 ice cubes.
Instructions:  Blend until smooth
This recipe makes 2 smoothies.  Per 230ml serving: 715kj, 12g protein, 33g carbohydrates, 2g fat, 94mg sodium, 2g fibre

To take both of these smoothies from a snack to a full meal, simply add two tablespoons of Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix!  This ensures you get a nutritionally balanced meal in a glass, convenience on the go and the added slimming benefits of a low kilojoule meal.
