Following a balanced and well-worked out weight loss diet is not the same as following a fat and sugar free diet. Your body needs a certain amount of fat and sugar to keep healthy. Sugar free sodas and snacks all too often contain artificial sweeteners, which can be even more fattening than normal refined sugar.
With the ShapeWorks weight loss diet program, you still get the essential
fats needed and don't have to cut out sugar altogether.
What is important is that you realize many foods contain hidden sugars,
which can all add up on the calorie scale.
You most probably have also heard about the benefits of a high protein diet. Herbalife recognizes the importance of adequate protein intake in a weight loss diet and as such, offers a variety of protein based products to promote a healthy body. Examples include:
The Herbalife ShapeWorks QuickStart Program will help you to get on the right track since it combines all the required nutrients, proteins, vitamins and minerals in the correct combination.
You cannot follow a proper weight loss diet unless you have an understanding of what caused the condition in the first place. Wrong habits cause overweight conditions. The following behaviors need to change:
- Eating fast leads to larger food portions. Eat slower and chew you food. You will eventually only eat half of what is on the plate and thus decrease the portion size. The act of chewing is also a calorie burner and the longer you chew before swallowing, the more calories are burnt.
- Snacking the whole time. By doing this, the body is told that food
is on the way and needs to be examined for any
toxins. Leukocytes are called in by the brain to act in defense. The
body's cleansing process is stopped to inspect what has just entered.
Constant snacking thus puts the body on defense the whole time, leaving
important detoxification and cleansing functions undone.
Change this habit by taking no more than three snacks a day. Herbalife has introduced the energy packed protein bars for people who like to snack. No fat is added with these snacks and at the same time your body gets essential proteins for lean mass building.
- Always drinking fluid with food intake. When you drink tea, coffee, juice or even water with your meals, it leads to imbalances in the digestive tract and hampers the correct working of hormones, which then causes weight gain. Drink water or juice twenty minutes before your meals to lose weight. Replace sodas, coffee and tea with the Herbal Concentrate, rich in green tea extracts, which helps your body to burn fats.
- Taking naps after meals. The minute you lie down, melatonin in the body starts working. The message is sent that you want to sleep and digestion of the food is slowed down. As a result of this, the food not absorbed, is then stored as fat. As part of your weight loss diet, you should go for a brisk walk after eating a balanced meal. This helps to break down the food faster and promotes better blood circulation.
- Having a sit and relax lifestyle. By just sitting, you place obstacles on your diet path. Move at least 800 times during the day to keep your energy level up. Make use of the Herbalife Liftoff drink to give your body the energy boost in needs for vitality and optimal functioning.
- Wrong combination of foods. Consult with a dietician or your Herbalife
distributor about the correct combinations of food
for a proper weight loss diet. Certain foods just don't go well together
because they require different types of enzymes to be digested. Some
food stays in the stomach to long and eventually become part of the
fat build-up in your body.
Replace two of your meals with the Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix to ensure that you get the correct balance and combination of foods. This will prevent indigestion problems and fat build-up in the body.
Following a wrong eating plan causes weight gain. This is why the Herbalife range is ideal for your weight loss diet. Your Herbalife consultant will be able to advice you on correct eating habits and combinations of food. Apart from this, the Herbalife ShapeWorks weight loss diet program contains everything you need in the best combination to succeed in losing weight.
