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.

I recently came across this quote on John Maxwell’s site:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit – and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same.
On reading this, I started to reflect upon my own life and what I place most value on. Just think about it – a glass (or substitute crystal, if you like) is not only more fragile than a rubber ball, it is also much more valuable. Yet, most of the time we devote our time and effort on ensuring that the rubber ball does not crash.
Honestly look at your life. What glass balls might you be juggling a little irresponsibly at the moment?
For one, look at your health. What are you doing at present to keep this precious part of your life going? You may have big dreams of achievement and leaving a legacy – but you’ll only be able to do this if your body keeps you strong! As much as we’d love to ignore our bodily needs, it is the vehicle that keeps us here on earth. And once you lose your health, once this glass ball gets nicked or shatters, it is a very hard process to put it together again.
A product like Herbalife can help you to regain nutritional balance and keep your body strong with healthy food sources. Whether you use it for weight loss, weight gain or just healthy weight management, there are products and a programme suited for your needs.
