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:

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.
